As a family photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area, I have seen my fair shared of beloved pets!  And I love photographing them all.... big or small, young and old! Just as the movie says "Must Love Dogs"; they are a part of the family and should be included in your captured memories!

There are so many reasons to include your dog in your session-

• New Puppy!  You just got this sweet new puppy and want to capture all of it's cuteness- puppy breath and all!
• Include the WHOLE family!  Dogs are part of the family too...it's fun to capture the interaction with everyone.
• End of Life... these are heartbreaking sessions but are so beautiful.  

In order for your dog to be camera ready, don't forget to take him/her to the groomer the day before our session!  Also, when using a leash, we will do our best to hide it in the images but sometimes it's impossible....  in those cases, it's best to be prepared with a leash that matches your outfits!  There are a lot of great options on Amazon, and you can even be a little "extra" with some of these fun colors and patterns.  Why not even dress your male dog in a coordinating bowtie!!?!?! Or have them be part of a special announcement?

If you do choose to bring your dog to our session, please let me know ahead of time.  Also don't forget the leash, treats and maybe even a squeaky toy.  I can't think of any other pets other than dogs that I have photographed, but that's not to say I won't!  Have an idea of how to incorporate your pets?  Just let me know!
