Welcoming a new baby into the family is an exciting time, and if you’re a pet owner, your fur babies are often just as much a part of the family. Including them in your baby’s photoshoot can create some truly special memories that celebrate the bond between your little one and their furry sibling.

At my Crawley Down studio, I’ve worked with many families who want to feature their pets in their baby’s portraits. Whether it’s a loyal dog, a curious cat, or even something more exotic, your pet is always welcome. I make sure the environment is calm and relaxed to help them feel at ease, and with plenty of treats and patience, we can capture the perfect moments.

The key to including pets in your baby photoshoot is preparation. Before the session, I recommend bringing along some of their favourite toys or treats to help keep them engaged. It’s also a good idea to let me know in advance so I can prepare the studio for both your baby and their fur sibling. We’ll create a safe space where both can interact naturally, ensuring comfort for everyone involved.

Photographing pets and babies together is a beautiful way to celebrate the unique connection between them. Whether your fur sibling is snuggling close, curiously watching over the baby, or even adding a touch of playful energy to the scene, these moments make for unforgettable photos.

If you’re considering including your pet in your baby’s photoshoot, feel free to get in touch. We can chat about how to make the session fun and relaxed for everyone, resulting in images you’ll treasure forever.
