3 Tips for Great Family Pictures with Pets

Candid Mini Sessions in Rochester NY

We love our four legged friends, so why not have a day to let them shine in family pictures?

Pets are always welcome at our family portrait sessions, but for this candid mini session event we put the spotlight on them. Four dogs and a stuffed cat showed up on this hot, buggy summer night! The mosquitos were definitely NOT invited to these pet mini sessions, but they came anyway.

Maybe next year we’ll see some birds, rabbits, or even frogs, who knows! Who would you bring?

Want tips for great family pictures with your pets?

1) Bring treats!

2) Expect a little chaos, and don’t panic. (it’s ok! It makes the candid family pictures even better!)

3) Tire them out before your family pictures! Run them, play with them, get them moving.
