Our puppy, Jake, is such a huge part of our lives. We knew he had to be in our engagement photos. Our photos with Jake turned out to be our absolute favorite. He is just so photogenic! Kate Saler Photography did such a wonderful job capturing sweet moments between the three of us. Below are a few of my favorites along with some tips on how to successfully incorporate your puppy into your engagement session.
Tips for Incorporating Your Puppy:
Bring a puppy sitter – Phil and I brought my sister to take care of Jake and help make sure he looked at the camera. This made it easier for us to capture couple shots as well as family shots.
Groom Your Puppy – Jake probably could have used a hair cut, but I thought of this only a few days before our engagement session. Plan in advance and get your dogs hair cut a few weeks in advance, so it has time to even out.
Bring Treats & Toys – Keep your puppy happy by giving him treats for being such a good doggie, and lots of toys to keep him focusing on the photographer when he is in the spotlight.
Take Photos with Your Puppy – It’s best to take photos with your doggie first, so they don’t get bored or cranky.
