Including your new puppy in your family photos | San Jose Photos by Kim E
Pets are a such an important part of the family so when you add a new puppy to your home, think about hiring a photographer to welcome your dog and to celebrate with new puppy photos that you can hang in your home!
Here are some tips about including your pets in your photos:
- Location:
If we’re photographing on location outside of your home, it’s important to make sure that dogs are welcome. Some local parks, county parks, and even beaches have different rules when it comes to dogs so make sure the location is dog-friendly and be sure to pack the leash.
- Props:
Some dogs love a toy, some love a chuck-it ball, and some are just happy with treats. So depending on what your dog likes, include the things that they love so they get treats too during the photo session.
- Patience/Obedience:
You know your dog best so keep this in mind with our location. If they just want to chase squirrels or birds, maybe a park isn’t the best location choice but your backyard is. They might fear the water so a beach location isn’t ideal but a local hiking trail is. This is something to keep in mind with your new dog, especially if you’ve been working on training them!
So if you’ve welcomed a new dog to your family and are looking to update your family photos to include your pet, reach out and let’s play. Welcome your dog into your family with new puppy photos!
