When your cousin gets a puppy and asks if we can do a newborn puppy portrait session, the answer is an astounding YES! Rylee and I were so excited to do these photos. I mean who doesn’t love pictures of a puppy. There is something about a little puppy that makes my heart melt.

I simply love a newborn puppy photo session. I so wanted to do a session like this when we got our dog, Maverick, but we got him at the end of October and we were just too busy with fall and holiday sessions. But am so glad we were able to capture these of Berkley for Courtney because puppies grow so quickly that we sometimes forget the playful puppy stage, complete with cute faces, adorable paws, round bellies, and all the naps they take.

If you’re planning to get a new furry family member, consider planning your pet photography around the time you bring the new puppy home. I’d love to capture your beautiful little puppy and the beginning stages of their life. It’s fun to capture them as puppies and then again, once they’ve grown up a little.
