Making Dogs Part of Family Photos

Brittany & Charles’ family photos to celebrate their dog, Dolly

Why Family Pawtraits?

When Brittany and Charles were planning their wedding, they knew that the logistics were too complicated to invite their dog, Dolly. Shhhhh don’t tell her she didn’t get the invite!! So we said we could book some family photos, and of course they were down for making dogs part of family photos.

Photos That Celebrate Your Dog Because They’re Family Too

They decided that after things slowed down after their wedding, they wanted to plan a photoshoot the celebrates their love for Dolly!

Fur-Ever Family Photos

We were so excited about this idea to enjoy a wedding day without the dress and logistics of bringing your pup! It can be a lot for them and this allowed them a relaxing wedding day with a bonus photoshoot featuring Dolly! Of course, she did not need any convincing to run around the Chesapeake Bay.

Pets are family too!

The time we have with our pets is never long enough. This is exactly why we encourage you to include them in your family portraits.

When bringing your dogs to family photos, we always recommend having an extra person with you to help out! Always bring a leash if in a public space and you can never bring enough treats!

How cute is our girl, Dolly, looking at her paw-rents?!
