Family Photography with Dogs

Outdoor Family Session at Home

— Islington, London

There’s something uniquely special about family portraits that include a beloved pet, especially when captured in the comfort of your own home. For this session, the children were free to play and run around in the garden, naturally interacting with their dog, Burton, and each other.

Dogs are a part of the family, and documenting memories with them adds a special layer to your family story. The relaxed environment allowed for genuine, candid moments that truly reflect the bond between family members, creating timeless photos to cherish for years to come. Family photography with dogs adds an extra layer of warmth and personality, making these images even more meaningful.

Capturing Genuine Connections with Candid Sibling Photography

When photographing children, I always take a relaxed, hands-off approach, allowing them the freedom to play, explore, and interact with each other naturally. When siblings are together, I find it’s in these unguarded moments—laughing, chasing each other, or exploring together—that their genuine bond shines through. I love capturing these fleeting, authentic interactions as they unfold, creating timeless portraits that truly reflect the connection they share.

In a full family session, I weave these sibling interactions into the bigger picture, capturing the love and connection that defines your family. Whether your children are playing with the family dog, interacting with you, or simply enjoying the outdoors, I focus on those real, heartfelt moments. These candid, natural photographs become a beautiful keepsake of your family’s unique dynamic, something you’ll cherish for years to come.
