ST. JAMES FARM WHEATON FAMILY PHOTOS: MELISSA MARIE PHOTOGRAPHY: PIAZZA FAMILY

I've had a lot of sessions lately that have wanted (and questioned) whether or not they should bring their dog to their session? Well, if your dog is insta famous like @djthegolden you bring your dog! Haha for real though...Pets are totally a part of the family! Shoot, I legit saw a dude with his parrot at Costco the other day. So it totally can make sense when wanting to include them in your pics! Do note that not as many places allow animals as you'd think, so check before-hand. And speaking of hand... And extra one (be it a friend or additional family member) comes in handy so you can take some of your pics with and without your pet included. Oh, and there's a 100% chance that I'll want to smother your cutie pup with all my love. (:

No shocker that this fam (and famous golden) were pros!
