So you’d like to know if we are ok with you bringing your dogs to your Engagement Session…
The answer is a resounding YES!! Bring your fur-baby(s) along!! They are such an important part of your life!
If you do decide to bring your furbaby along, I’ve got tips to set expectations and help make your session much smoother…

I know, YOUR fur-baby is the worlds most behaved pet…and at home, this is probably ABSOLUTELY the truth!!
But when you are in an unusual setting with unusual circumstances (ie a stranger pointing a weird contraption at their face making a fool out of themselves *I’m the stranger, and yes I tend to make a fool out of myself with children and pets haha!*…well let’s just say things don’t go as expected! And that’s OK!! But it is also why I highly suggest having someone as the assigned pet sitter when we are no longer going to be having the fur-baby in the pictures.
Just like children, I usually suggest starting with the fur-babies first, and then allowing them to roam off with the assigned person or even leave.

Leashes, because in an unnatural environment (like mentioned above) your sweet one will probably not sit as well as they normally would at home, and you may need to hang on to them if a squirrel happens to catch their attention.
Treats can always help get their attention…I am a big fan of bribery during photo sessions!
Patience is key. Remember they are in an unfamiliar place with an unfamiliar person. Just like a toddler they may take some time warming up, and they may not do exactly what you wish. That’s totally ok!! I’m in no hurry, and if we show we are patient I promise we still end up getting good shots! Sometimes if I’ve got a rambunctious one, and they are just too wound up to sit still at the moment, I’ll just have you guys start playing! These are always super fun and adorable candid pictures. Once they’ve gotten that out of their system and maybe walked with us as I take time to shoot the two of you, then they normally calm down and we are able to get plenty of the pictures you are hopeful for!
The majority of this session is about the two of you. And while I do not mind ONE BIT if you bring your fur-baby and we will for sure get some great shots in…be prepared that we will not spend a lot of time with them. Short attention spans and all;) I try to get everything done as soon as we start with them, and like I mentioned above, if they need some time to acclimate we will wait a bit and have some fun with them, but overall I tend to get them done first! It is also because I want us to get into a groove of shooting.
My system helps you guys relax and fall into it naturally so that you can have fun and feel good about the final product! I want you to always remember feeling blissfully happy during your Engagement Session, and not be distracted (because let’s face it, your fur-baby is probably the cutest thing ever and that kind of adorableness is a distraction lol

Your Wedding day is getting closer, and you’re excited about all the planning and preparations needed to ensure everything runs smoothly. You’ve hired the venue, caterer, florist, and DJ, and we hope have thought about investing in a professional wedding photographer! Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life, and photographs are the most precious keepsakes you can have to document your memories forever. In this article courtesy of Adobe via Rachel Driskell Photography, we’ll explain why professional wedding photography is an essential investment.
Most wedding photographers have years of experience, and they know how to capture those priceless moments between you and your partner. They’ve seen it all, from last-minute dress emergencies to rambunctious children running around during the ceremony. They’ve honed their craft over time and know how to make sure that everything is done efficiently and effectively. They know how to make everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, which helps to capture those natural, candid moments.
Professional photographers have expertise in lighting and composition, which is an essential element to consider when taking photos. Professionals know how to work with natural and artificial lighting to capture breathtaking images. They also have an eye for composition and know how to frame their shots to create beautiful and artistic photos. When you invest in a pro, you’ll get a collection of images that not only document your day, but that will be enjoyable to look at and share.
Your wedding day is too important to trust to an amateur or novice. Professional photographers arrive early to set up, communicate clearly with you, and ensure everyone is on the same page. If something goes wrong, they have backup plans to make sure the day’s events are captured regardless. They’ll work with you to create a timeline of photographs to ensure that every special moment is captured and documented correctly.
Finally, a skilled pro tells a creative story in photographs. They have the ability to create a storyline with your photographs that will retell the event every time you leaf through your album. They can capture personalities and emotions with their cameras and re-create the event, time and time again. They have the ability to make your photos unique and individualized, representing your personalities. You’ll look back on your wedding album with pride knowing that your memories were captured with care and expertise.
Investing in professional wedding photography is a great way to capture beautiful memories of your special day. Not only can you easily display stunning prints in your home, but you can also use your high-resolution images to create thank-you cards, personalized wedding albums, and wall art to cherish for years to come. Free platforms like Adobe Express are wonderful resources with which you can enhance and customize your professional images and use them to create one-of-a-kind projects. With these tips, you can make the most of your professional wedding photography:
Trusting a professional wedding photographer to candidly capture your love story is an investment in memories that will last a lifetime. With years of experience and expertise in lighting and composition, a professional photographer knows how to capture those priceless moments between you and your loved one, bringing your wedding day to life in stunning detail. Choose the expertise of a professional wedding photographer to ensure that your special day is captured in all its beauty.
