“Do you mind if we bring our dog?” is a common question we get asked about engagement sessions. After all, our clients know I love dogs. They know I have a Doberman at home, and some know my father is a vet. Of course dogs are welcome for engagement sessions. It’s almost preferred. More than anything, I just love meeting new dogs. Each has a unique personality, but they all love the camera.
Dogs are an important part of new families, so it makes sense for them to be a part of any special moment. Over the years, I have amassed a small collection of dog portraits captured during engagement sessions. Below are a few favorites for you to enjoy. Most of the photos were captured this year and last, around downtown Cleveland.
Above, Meatball with Danny and Deanna. Below, Bella with Molly and Dave. Bella was rescued from a crack house and now enjoys the perfect life.
Above, Tara and Brian’s dog putting on a show. Below, a Hungarian Vizsla named Roo living up to his namesake.
Above, Johah and Katie with their lovely dog at Holden Arboretum. Below, Erika and Scott’s dogs getting really curious.
Above, Penelope (a rescue) with Didi and Henry. Below, a beautiful B&W of Danielle and Matt with their loved one.
Lastly, good friends Annie and Derrick with Riley the rescue.
I have been sitting on this post for a couple weeks and am so happy to have it finished. I’m so excited to finally feature a few more dogs. That’s all for today. More coming very soon, especially now that spring is here and summer is just around the corner.
P.S. – You know that thing dogs do when they dream? Monty is laying behind me, woofing and chasing squirrels in his dreams. Love it!

Hunter, I LOVE this post! The dogs just make the pictures so much more wonderful than they already are! Can't wait until June to get our engagement pics with our furbaby Bubba! You do such wonderful work, and I just love it! And the dogs dreaming, I love when Bubba does it, it's hilarious! He sometimes even howls in his dreams! =)
