When Should You Schedule Your LA Dog Photoshoot?

“Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.” – Roger Caras

When should you schedule your LA dog photoshoot? 

I’d love to answer that question for you!

Our dogs are part of our family. They become our children and part of our pack. With human children, there are natural milestones that many parents want to photograph professionally. Think newborn, first birthday, starting school, graduating high school, and so on. The same is true for our dogs! Documenting your dog’s milestones will be a gift for both of you.

We hope to have our dogs for a long time, but the truth is that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Investing in a dog photoshoot will create images and professional artwork that you can hold onto for many years to come. 

Here are six reasons why you should schedule your dog photoshoot.

6. Reasons to Schedule a Dog Photoshoot 

1. Documenting their Puppyhood - Your dog will never be this little again. Document every sweet, sleepy expression and snuggle so you can hold onto this time as your dog grows up. You’ll love looking back on their “newborn” photos as the years go by and you watch them grow up.

2. Celebrating a New Human or Furry Family Member - Adding a new pup to the pack is an exciting time. After everyone in the family has adjusted, let’s take your first official family portraits! With my full-service dog photography sessions, everyone in the immediate family is included in the session. 

3. Capturing Your Bond - As your dog enters adulthood, your bond has only deepened and grown stronger. You’ve learned all your dog’s favorite things and quirks. What are some images you’d love to have of your dog? Playing fetch? Snuggling? That cute expression they make before you give them a treat? The way they look at mom and dad? Documenting all of this and your bond through a professional dog photoshoot will create a time capsule for you to cherish.

4. The Golden Senior Years - Your senior pup has still got it! Let’s plan a special session where we can celebrate their amazing life so far and look forward to making more memories together. This fun and easygoing session will capture all your favorite things about your dog.

5. End-of-Life Sessions - As sad as end-of-life dog photography sessions sound, they are important to mention. If your beloved dog has recently been diagnosed with an illness or you just know the end is near, we can plan an end-of-life session, so you have images and artwork of your best friend. After you’ve said the toughest goodbye, your session will be a happy reminder of your beautiful life together.

6. Just Because! - You don’t need a reason! I’ve never had a client regret a professional dog photoshoot. If anything, most clients wish they had done it sooner! So, if you’re thinking about a session, now is the time to book a photoshoot for your pup.
