Can We Include Our Pets in Our Family Photography Session?
Can We Include Our Pets in Our Family Photography Session? Absolutely! Here’s How.
When it comes to capturing the love and connection of your family, it’s only natural to want to include every member of the family—fur babies included! Whether your four-legged friend is a pup or a kitten, I'm all for making sure they’re a part of your family portraits. After all, pets are part of the family too, and their unique personalities can bring a whole new level of fun and love to your photos.
Including Cats in Your Family Photos
If your family pet happens to be a cat, the best place for our session would be at your home. This way, they can roam freely and be themselves, resulting in natural and authentic moments that capture the bond you share together. Whether they’re curled up on the bed, watching from a sunny spot, or weaving between your legs, we’ll create beautiful images that celebrate your family as a whole.
Bringing Dogs to Outdoor Sessions
If you’ve got a dog who’s just as much a part of the family as anyone else, feel free to bring them along to your outdoor session. Dogs bring a wonderful energy to family photos, and I love capturing those playful, candid moments that unfold when they’re around. Whether they’re running with the kids, sitting proudly by your side, or snuggling up for a family hug, your dog’s presence can add a lot of joy and personality to your photos.
If you plan to bring your dog, just give me a heads-up so I can make sure our chosen location is pet-friendly. The last thing we want is to show up and find out that dogs aren’t allowed! I'll check in advance and suggest suitable spots where your dog can join the fun.
Why Include Pets?
Pets have a special place in our hearts, and their love and loyalty are unmatched. Including them in your family photos is a beautiful way to honour that bond and create memories that truly represent your family dynamic. Years from now, when you look back at these images, you’ll smile not only at how your children have grown but also at the memories of your beloved pets who’ve shared your journey.
I’m a huge animal lover myself, and I know how important it is to capture the essence of your family, pets included. Rest assured, your pets will be welcomed with open arms and a big smile.
Final Thoughts
Your family photos should reflect who you are and the special relationships you cherish. Whether it's your kids, your partner, or your pets, every member of your family is welcome in front of my lens. If you’re considering including your pets in your family session, just let me know, and we’ll plan accordingly to make sure everyone feels comfortable and the experience is enjoyable.
