Most people who visit the Daily Dog Tag agree, dogs are family! So it makes sense to include them in family portraits, like this maternity session from Amber Elaine Photography. Axel is nine years old and Arlo is seven, both are handsome Boston Terriers.
From Amber: “This couple had two boy Boston Terrier pups before they decided to expand their family and were surprised with twins! So it came as no surprise when they decided to get black and white everything for the twins since they weren’t finding out the sex of the twins until their due date. They ended up with two more boys!”
From the couple: “Axel is affectionally called Nana after the loyal pet from Peter Pan and because he is old. He is always looking after the boys and has to inspect them when we get home. Arlo was so ready for the twins to get here and would lay in on me while I was pregnant! He makes them triplets instead of twins really. He cleans up any dropped food and is not far from them when I set them down.”
If you have a maternity session, I hope you’ll include your fur babies too!

This is so cute, Beth! I love the idea of including pets in family portraits, and I like the contrast of colors in the photos. Their orange collars are so cute, too!

These photos are SO sweet. I love the one where the pups are looking at each other.
Keating says
These are so gorgeous! I think the only thing I regret from my own maternity session was not including my husband and dog (husband thought it was weird and our dog wasn’t very friendly back then haha). I’d love to do a whole family session once I’m pregnant with baby #2!

That is so adorable! It sounds like those dogs are perfect for this family. I love the name Nana for a dog. It really does describe what dogs are for most people.

All of your images make me want to take family portraits with our new puppy. I love taking pictures of her alone, but how cute would the images be with our whole family?!
