Capturing Family Photography with Dogs: Tips for Pawsome Portraits

Incorporating your furry friends into family photography can create memorable and fun images that truly reflect your family's personality. As a dog lover and a family photographer, I’m excited to share tips on how to successfully include your dog in your family photography session!





1. Choose a Dog-Friendly Location

Selecting the right location is crucial when planning a family shoot with dogs. Look for parks, beaches, or open spaces where your dog can feel comfortable and free to explore. A familiar setting, like your backyard, can also help your pup relax during the shoot. This will allow for natural, candid moments.


2. Prepare Your Pup

Before the session, ensure your dog is well-groomed and has had a good walk or playtime to burn off excess energy. This helps them be more settled during the shoot. Bring along their favorite toy or treats to keep them engaged and motivated for photos!


3. Coordinate Outfits

Outfits are just as important for your furry friend as they are for the rest of the family! Coordinating colors that complement each other can create a cohesive look in your photos. For tips on color schemes, check out my blog on family photography color schemes. Remember, your dog should be comfortable in whatever you choose!


4. Capture the Bond

Family photography with dogs is all about capturing the unique bond you share. Encourage playful interactions, like throwing a ball or sharing cuddles. These moments make for genuine smiles and laughter. As someone who loves capturing relationships, I focus on those connections to create beautiful, heartfelt images.


5. Be Patient and Flexible

Dogs can be unpredictable, so patience is key! If your pup needs a moment to adjust or explore, that's perfectly fine. I’ll work with you to ensure we get the best shots while keeping it fun for everyone involved. For more on my approach, visit my About Me page to learn how I make every session enjoyable.
