If you’re anything like me, your pets are part of your family. You count on them for support, you’re there for them when they need you, and you’d do anything for them. Therefore, why wouldn’t you choose to include your pets in your professional family portrait sessions? I love when I receive an inquiry from a client who is interested in including their pets in their session. Over my nearly 20 years as a professional photographer, I have photographed family portraits with pets for numerous occasions, including Christmas cards, engagement sessions and even weddings. Pets bring joy to any portrait session.
