My short answer to the question “Should I have my dogs at my photo session?” : YES YES YES I ABSOLUTELY will die happy if you show up with your dogs at your photo session.Though they just might steal the show. You’re probably used to this though, ha!
Reasons I am obsessed with dogs at my sessions:
OK, how can a photo not look genuine when you are busy loving on your favorite living creature(s) in the universe?! Exactly. Do I need to say more?! There will be so many perfect natural moments of you loving on your dog, these heartfelt images are some of my favorite to capture!
Again, how can you stay stressed when you are with your FAVE?! If you have a family member (or husband, or fiancé) who feels a bit stressed about having photos done, let’s incorporate some shots of the family just hanging out with your dog! These will look and feel totally natural and help melt that stress away.
We only have our precious pups for all to short of a time in our lives. The moments we are able to capture during your photo session will be some of the ones your cherish the most down the road. Let’s let your dog run and have run while we capture that on camera.
Your dog is a big part of who you are as a couple or family! I would love for you to bring them along for your photos to show the full picture of who your family really is.
If you decide to go ahead and bring your dog to your session, sometimes it can be helpful to have another set of hands there to help. I have families and couples bring an extra person along so that when your fur baby needs a walk or a break, they can take it and we can keep shooting! An hour long session can end up being a lot, especially if your dog is really young or old!
I hope this helped you decide if bringing your dog is the right fit for you and your family, but please let me know if you have any other questions!
