What is on the walls of your home? What you put up tells others much about what you value and even what image you want others to have of you. I have pictures of places we have visited on vacations and also of family, human and dog, on my walls. All these images bring me joy, as they remind me of how much I enjoy and value my family, furry members included, of course. Why do I believe family portraits are important? Here are a few reasons.

When clients book me to photograph their dogs or other pets, I always suggest that they come to the session dressed and ready to be photographed too. Often they balk at this, saying they just want pictures of the dog and they don’t like being photographed etc. If this sounds like something you might say, please reconsider.
