Have you ever wondered how to include your dog in your newborn session in Boston, MA?
As a Boston Lifestyle Newborn Photographer, I have had the pleasure of capturing many special moments with both newborn babies and family pets. Including your pet in your newborn session can add an extra layer of love and joy to your photos, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Before your session, it’s important to communicate with your photographer about including your pet. As a Boston Dog Photographer, I like to know if your dog is treat or toy motivated, or if they have a trigger word to grab their attention.

Understanding your pet’s behavior and preferences can help me capture the best possible images.
It’s also helpful to discuss how your dog reacts to strangers and how you think they will behave once the baby arrives. Sharing insights into your pet’s personality can help us prepare for a successful session. For example, my own dog didn’t show much interest when I was pregnant, so I had a feeling she would be distant once our baby arrived.
To ensure a smooth session, consider having a family member or friend available to help with your dog and take them for a walk if needed. This will allow you to focus on your baby and the photography session without any distractions.
During the session, I love to capture photos of your family with your dog on your bed in your master bedroom. If your dog is not allowed on the bed, please let me know in advance so we can make other arrangements. Ultimately, my goal is to create beautiful, heartwarming images that showcase the love and connection between your family members, including your beloved pet.
Including your pet in your newborn session can truly make the photos come alive, capturing the essence of your family dynamic. So if you’re considering incorporating your furry friend into your session, don’t hesitate to reach out to your photographer and start planning for a memorable and heartwarming experience.
