Happy Father’s Day, Dog Dads!
Father’s Day is a time to honor not just human dads, but also those who have taken on the role of dog dads. To all the pet owners out there whose hearts are filled with love for their canine companions, today is for you!
But being a dog dad isn’t just about walks in the park or playtime in the backyard. It’s about the countless moments of joy, laughter, and even the occasional mischief that comes with having a furry friend by your side. It’s about the early morning wake-up calls, the wagging tails that greet you at the door, and the unconditional love that knows no bounds.
Whether you’ve raised your dog from a puppy or welcomed a rescue into your home, you understand the unique bond that develops between a dog and their human, a bond built on trust, companionship, and shared experiences. For those who want to capture these sweet moments forever, consider getting the dog dad in your life a pet and owner photo session.
I often work with couples who are wanting to do a pet and family session, but they warn me that the man in their life hates having his photo taken or will feel awkward/annoyed about being in front of the camera. But I assure you, it’s not going to feel like you’re having a photoshoot. Often the only professional photo shoot experiences guys have had are restricted to school pictures or wedding photos—both situations that are very formal shoots where you have to pose a certain way and smile at the camera. Instead during a pet and owner photo shoot, it’ll feel like you’re just hanging out with your dog in a nice park. You don’t have to “pose” or “act”, nor do you have to stare right at the camera and smile. Instead I will focus on documenting the natural moments and interactions between you and your dog. We can capture those genuine candid moments while you’re playing fetch, giving your dog a belly rub, walking through the park, or just hanging out in nature (or a dog-friendly bar if that’s more your speed!).
So, here’s to all the dog dads out there – may your day be filled with tail wags, puppy kisses, and moments that remind you why being a dog dad is truly something special. Happy Father’s Day to you and your beloved fur babies!
