Miss I, 12 Days old – Simple Newborn Session

Pets with newborn studio photo session Miss I, 12 Days old - Simple Newborn Session Linda Hewell Maternity & Newborn Photography

Paws, Cuddles and newborn snuggles!

Pets are such a big part of the family, and it’s lovely to include them in these special memories. Those sweet little moments between your baby and their furry best friend can be absolutely beautiful (and often end up being some of the most cherished photos!).

Pets are very welcome in the studio, as long as they’re calm and reasonably well-behaved. If your dog is used to being indoors, comfortable in new spaces, and responds well to simple cues, they’ll likely be just fine in the studio setting.

That said, every dog is different. Some are total chillers, happy to sit or lie nearby while we work. Others may find the whole experience a little too exciting (especially if there are toddlers running around too!).

If you’re after a quiet, relaxed session, especially those sleepy, peaceful newborn shots, it’s worth thinking about whether your pup’s personality will suit the vibe. If they’re likely to be on high alert, jumping around, or getting underfoot, it might be less stressful (for everyone!) if they stay home this time.

Whether your dog joins us or not, your photos will still reflect all the love and connection in your family, paws or no paws. 🐶💕
