Should I Include My Pet In Our Family Portraits?

Should I include my pet especially my dog in our family portraits? Why wouldn't you? Yes is the answer. The main reasons are:

1 it lightens the mood. It makes the children especially younger kids be more at ease. It can make the kids smile and a sense of lightness. 

2 It is a great way to remember your pet and relive times later in life when the pet was around and perhaps when the kids were younger.

3 Why not? They are cute as all heck. 

Tips for adding your pet.

1 Bring a squeaky toy for the dog so the photographer can catch attention.

2 Bring some little snacks to make the dog perform well. Often times, the dog behaves better than the kids.

3 Walk the dog before the session to make sure he has gone and not anxious to go to the bathroom. 

Totally consider using your dog or pet for the family portrait. Undoubtably you will not regret it. Leave your snake at home.
