Sessions Featuring Fur Babies

Family

Pets are part of the family, and it might not feel right doing a session without them. Over the years, dogs and cats have joined newborn, family, and maternity sessions (usually with zero convincing needed), and some of Cass’s favorite photos ever have come from those moments.

So if you’re wondering whether to include your pup in your in-home newborn session or bring them along to the beach: yes. Here are a few favorites.
