Who knew it was National Pet Day? I recently photographed these adorable puppies located in Waterford, Virginia. I do a lot of newborn photography but working with puppies is new for me.

I brought my bag of tricks which I typically use for my equine portraits to get their ears forward.

This dough bowl is a newborn prop but it worked great for these puppies.

So many people want to document the first few weeks when their family welcomes home a new puppy. I love photographing the moments that kids first get to hug and kiss their new pet.
