I’m a massive fan of dogs. As the saying goes, everybody thinks they have the best dog and everybody is right. That said, Ace really was the most impeccably behaved boy in the studio while he waited for his time in the spotlight.
There’s always an element of unpredictability when working with newborns and that obviously doubles when you add a dog into the mix. I don’t think studio photography is right for all dogs but you’ll know if you’ve got a hope of including your pooch in your photos as you know them best. Anyway, Ace really was quite content to sit and get fussed by his mum and dad while we got his human brother’s photos done and then he really posed very well when it was time for his turn. Quite the little superstar.
I never have a problem including dogs in newborn (or any) photo shoots. Never going to turn down the chance to hang out with your dog – you just have to ask!
Newborn Photography
A newborn photo shoot is best when your baby is between 5 and 10 days old as this is when they are at their maximum sleepiness and poseability to capture those dreamy shots. For this reason, I definitely recommend that you book when you are pregnant as this is one less thing to worry about scheduling when you’ve just got home from the hospital. We make an appointment for your due date plus 7 days and then adjust it as needed.
My newborn shoots include your three favourite digital images which you select from your online gallery a few weeks after your photo shoot – I don’t make you attend a sales or viewing session. Sessions take place in my warm and cosy studio in Crawley Down and cost £95.
