The dog who "never listens" gave us the best frame of the whole session.

Nose-to-nose with a six-year-old who adores him. Quiet. Still. The kind of moment you can't pose if you tried.

Pets are family, and including them in your session is one of the most rewarding decisions you can make. After photographing dozens of dogs alongside their humans, a few things tend to make these sessions shine:

A long walk the morning of helps wiggles settle into softness. Bring the treats they only get on special occasions, and the toy that always works. Let your pet explore the space for a few minutes before we start, sniffing corners is how they say "okay, I'm ready."

And the magic shot? It's almost never the one where everyone is looking at the camera. It's the cheek against fur. The leash dropped. The small hand resting on a familiar back.

These are the frames that belong on your wall, the ones that remind you, years from now, exactly who was part of your family this season of life. 🐾

Most families show up to their portrait session and just wing it. The ones who walk away with photos they actually want to hang on the wall? They do a few small things differently.

Nothing complicated. No matching khakis-and-white-shirts situation. No dragging tired kids out the door at 7am.

Just three little choices that change everything about how a session feels, and how the photos turn out.

Swipe through for the three things we wish every family knew before their session. 👇

(And yes, one of them involves your dog.) 🐾

That look over the shoulder. Pure, unguarded, and completely unrepeatable.

If you've ever held a baby mid-snuggle and felt them tilt their head just so, catching your eye with a smile that came out of nowhere, you know the feeling. Your whole chest goes soft. Time hiccups for a second.

And then it's gone.

That's the thing about these early months. The gummy grins, the cheek squishes, the way they fit perfectly against your shoulder. None of it stays. By next season, they're already someone slightly new.

This is why we love what we do. A single frame can hold a moment your memory can't quite keep on its own. Years from now, you'll look up at it on your wall and feel that exact second all over again.

If your little one is in one of these "blink and you'll miss it" stages, let's get them in front of the camera while it's still true. 🤍
