Including your dog in your engagement session? Immediate yes from me š¾
Your pup is part of your story, your everyday life, and your little familyāso why wouldnāt they be part of this season too? I absolutely love when couples bring their dogs along because it adds such a personal (and honestly, joyful) layer to your photos.
E & N brought their dog Smith to their session and it made everything feel that much more them. The cuddles, the laughs, the in-between moments⦠it all felt so natural and meaningful.
A few quick tips if youāre thinking about bringing your dog:
ā Choose a dog-friendly location
ā Bring a leash + a neutral collar/harness
ā Pack treats (always a must š«¶š¼)
ā Consider bringing a friend to help hold your pup when needed
ā Plan for a mix of photos with and without them
Trust meāyou wonāt regret including your furry best friend in such a special chapter š¤
