When Kayleigh reached out about photographing her new family member, I was thrilled. We’d met when I photographed her friend’s bridal shower, and now she and her husband Chris were newly married, freshly relocated to Arizona for work, and ready to document the newest addition to their family: Lando, their adorable mini Australian Shepherd puppy.
Capturing Puppy Days Before They’re Gone
Here’s what every dog parent learns quickly: puppies don’t stay small for long. Those oversized paws, that puppy breath, the way they fit perfectly in your arms—it all changes fast. Mini Australian Shepherds like Lando grow rapidly in their first year, transforming from tiny fluffballs into athletic companions.
Professional puppy portraits capture more than cute photos. They document a specific moment in your family’s story—the very beginning. These images become treasured memories of when your dog was brand new and your family dynamic was just taking shape.
Documenting New Beginnings
During our session, we focused on genuine connection—Chris laughing when Lando got the zoomies, Kayleigh scooping him up as he settled into her arms. For couples like Kayleigh and Chris who are planting roots in Arizona, family portraits with their puppy mark this beautiful chapter of new adventures and growing love.
