They were your first children, even if they are a fur baby. We LOVE our pets. So, when you welcome a new addition to the family it's natural to want to include them in your newborn photoshoot.


As a newborn photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, I can you tell my answer when clients ask.


YES. YES. YES.


I love including pets in newborn photos, AS LONG AS WE CAN DO IT SAFELY.


If that means, the dogs sit next to the crib, but not near the baby? Sometimes. But even if they are on the floor beside you, as long as your pet isn't a danger to the baby, I am ALL IN.


This wonderful family had an AMAZING black lab. Who loved scratches and being included.


Which made my job even better.
