Home for the Holidays



Family portraits photos with pets


The holidays are a time to connect with others and gather with those you love. In our family, that also means we have a chance to get an updated picture with all of us--it's usually the only time everyone is in the same place. More and more, it seems, pets are included in these special family moments. They're part of the family! Do pets get included in your family portraits?

An article from She Knows suggests a few tips for a successful photo shoot with your non-human family member. First, pick a photographer who is pet-friendly. Next, consider the time of day for the shoot--if your kitty naps all afternoon or your pooch just wants to play in the morning (like mine), those are things to take into account. Check out their article for more info.


This post from Family Circle suggests you give your furry friend time to get familiar with big lenses and bright lights, and, if possible, take the picture in a familiar place. Also, your pet will appreciate some treats--both to help them do what you need them to, but also as a reward for their excellent behavior!
