Pet Milestone

Why We Always Say “Yes” to Pets in Your Milestone Sessions

April 11, 20251 min read

If you've ever wondered whether you can bring your dog (or cat… or rabbit… or tortoise) to your photography session with us, the answer is simple:

Absolutely. Always yes.

Because at Nest, we know your pet isn’t just a pet.

They’re family.

They're the first "baby" for many of you..
The loyal shadow by your side through pregnancies and new beginnings.
The snuggler-in-chief when nights feel long.
The unspoken comforter during the hardest of days.
The constant in the chaos.

We've seen it again and again in our studio how a pup nestles beside a toddler they've grown up with, or how a dog instinctively curls near a newborn as if protecting their new pack member.

These aren’t just cute photos.

They're real moments of connection, emotion, and shared life.

On National Pet Day, we want to celebrate the role pets play in your story.

Because they’re not just background characters, they’re often there for the big chapters too.

And just like any family member, they deserve to be in the portraits..

So if you're ever wondering whether to bring your four-legged family member to your session… know that they’re just as welcome as you are.

Let’s celebrate every piece of your story - even the furry ones.
