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!

Such a cute post!
Adorable! I would love to include our pups in ours too!
Love this! Pets are definitely part of the family, so what a great idea to include them in the portrait 🙂
The cutest little Boston Terriers!
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.
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!
This seems to be the hot new thing is to include animals in photography sessions. Think it is great they are being included.
I always look forward to seeing your beautiful photo sessions that include beloved pets. These maternity photos are amazing and those pups are precious!
You look so fabulous in that dress! And the two little guys in the picture is such a cute touch! Congratulations!
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.
Great to take the before and after pictures when you are pregnant. I can not wait to see the after of the twins and their guardians.
Aww this is an adorable set of photos, what a lovely idea to bring in the fur family as well, when it comes to taking this memorable moments.
This is such a great idea for a photo. I love that the dogs are involved in the maternity session. What great memories.
It’s always so sweet to see how dogs react to pregnancy and little ones. I have a feeling these two are going to be very happy!
This is the cutest photo shoot. The fur babies look like they’re really going to make the best big brothers.
Oh I adore this! How lovely and what beautiful photographs! Dogs are such a big part of the family, these are such precious memories!
Super cute! I love dogs and these are so adorable. I love that they were included in the pregnancy shots!
How sweet! Congratulations, and so fun that you included your pups in the photos 🙂
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?!
I hope you can get some professional photos of the whole family! If you need help finding a pet-friendly photographer, let me know!
I’m so happy that I found your website, since we love and have dogs in our home. Pets are family and your photos portray this well!
Soooo so so cute! What a beautiful family! These dogs are so adorable!
Adorable pictures! How I wish I had a maternity photo shoot too. But I think this was not a thing yet when I was pregnant many years ago. 🙂
What a cute idea! I love the thought of including the first “babies”, the furry ones.
Beautiful family love those Boston Terriers, they are really cute. New members of family along with them going to great one.
Isn’t this just a delightful photoshoot! This is definitely saying Dogs are Family.
Aww.. This is so sweet. Axel and Arlo are handsome pups. I like the photos of the pups with the close up of the maternity tummy. They are super cute. (From Ava Jaine, Dachshund Station)
