There’s nothing sweeter than welcoming a new baby into a home filled with love—and in this case, that love came not only from two proud parents but also from two playful and adorable Australian Shepherds! This newborn lifestyle session was truly heartwarming, capturing the beautiful bond between this sweet baby girl and her furry siblings.

From the moment I arrived, it was clear that the Australian Shepherds wanted to be part of the action. Whether they were curiously peeking over the crib, snuggling on the bed, or lying protectively near their tiny new family member, they added so much personality and warmth to the session. They were so gentle and well-behaved, perfectly complementing the peaceful vibe of the day.

We shot the session using natural light streaming through the windows, creating a soft and airy atmosphere. The nursery was a standout—beautifully decorated in warm tones that felt both cozy and serene. Every detail of the room, from the carefully chosen decor to the sunlight dancing on the walls, made it the perfect backdrop for these precious moments.

We also spent time in the primary bedroom and the living room, capturing a mix of intimate family moments and candid interactions. The baby girl was a dream to photograph—so calm and sweet. Seeing her nestled in her parents' arms, with her furry siblings close by, was a perfect reflection of the love and connection in this family.

This session was a beautiful reminder that families come in all shapes and sizes, and the love of a family dog (or two!) is something truly special. I feel so lucky to have captured these memories for them and can’t wait to see this baby girl grow up surrounded by so much love.

If you’re considering including your pets in your newborn session, I’d love to help you create timeless photos that celebrate your entire family!
