Family Portraits With Your Furry Friends
Your pets are part of the family, so why leave them out of your portraits? Whether it is a playful studio session or an outdoor adventure, I love capturing the heartwarming and hilarious bond you share with your pet.
Because every family portrait is better with a furry friend! This family of three becomes a family of four with their adorable French bulldog joining the studio session.
The sweetest duo! This one-year-old and her playful pup are the perfect pair, and their bond was a joy to capture during this fun-filled studio session.

About Paws & Family: Including Your Furry Friends
Shooting with pets is wonderfully unpredictable, and that is exactly why it works. I do not force them into stiff poses because that usually leads to stressed pets and unhappy photos. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs the space of an outdoor Delhi park or prefers the cozy control of my Gurugram studio, I adjust the pace to their comfort. We will get those genuine interactions and goofy moments rather than just a photo of them sitting still.
When you bring your pets along, we are essentially documenting a piece of your daily reality. My approach to pet-inclusive photography is rooted in patience. If your dog needs to sniff around the studio first to feel safe, or if we need a few minutes of play time to burn off energy before we start shooting, that is perfectly fine.
For outdoor sessions across Delhi NCR, we can head to a familiar park where your dog feels at ease, allowing for natural, candid movement. In the studio, my setup is flexible enough to accommodate pets of all sizes, though I recommend booking the Signature Portrait Experience for these sessions. It provides the extra time and space necessary to ensure both the human and animal members of the family are relaxed.
I often get asked, 'Will they behave?' The answer is always: it does not matter if they behave perfectly, it only matters that they are themselves. Whether it is a tiny pup or a large golden retriever, my goal is to capture the eye contact, the cuddles, and the unique way your pet looks at you. We focus on the connection, not the training. If you are planning a milestone shoot for your little one, bringing the family dog along can add such a beautiful layer of personal history to your album.

I am Priya, and I believe no family portrait is truly complete without the tail-waggers. I will happily roll on the floor if it gets a genuine reaction out of your pup, and I never watch the clock when pets are involved because their comfort is my priority.
