Kids and Dogs | Naperville Photographer

When a client asks if we can include their dogs in a session, I pretty much always say yes.  I’m definitely a dog person.  And I’ve heard about their big mastiff for years and have told them repeatedly that we should include their mastiff and husky in a session.  Well, the time was right because they added a new puppy – a great dane!  Yes, these are large dog people, which I love!  So they brought in the three kids and their three dogs.  Check out the awesome outfits on the kids.  She had seen my Dog Walker image and wanted to do something with that feel – something playful – for her own family.

I had fun creating this playful image for them.  I love that the husky would go into this position on command.  She was definitely the best behaved.  The big guy was nervous about the lights and would not walk on hard wood floors, so I laid out blankets and towels to get him to walk to where I needed him.  LOL  If you notice, each kid is looking at a different dog.

 

I also enjoyed making an image without a background at all.  I love how the puppy cocked his head at me.

 

But we also did pictures of just the human kids, as well.  I love their formal outfits!

 

Then there was also individuals of each child.  The youngest boy was too cheerful and silly to be in the darker setting of his siblings.

 

So much mischief with this guy.

 

And the older sister was all for being a model on this day.  Love the setting with her dress.  The hidden door and flowers make for a dreamy scene.

 

If you have kids – be them of the human or canine variety – we welcome the chance to create image that reflect their personalities!
