Lately I’ve been having a lot of dogs coming to the newborn sessions.  It’s actually a lot of fun and I’ll ask the family if this is their ‘first baby.’  So many married couples end up owning a dog before having children and the dog becomes the first baby.  I love how they are protective over the new baby.  Of course, safety is important, so I always ask families to keep their hands close by and photoshop them out if needed.  That animal-baby bond is just adorable.
