Absolutely, of course. Ultimately though, the idea of the engagement shoot is that it is about capturing you as a couple, so if you want to include your canine friend, you should plan for your pupster to have a starring role, but not be the lead. No photographer will include them in every photo, which is why it's a good idea to have a friend or dog walker on hand to hold them between shots or take them away if it isn't working out. Dogs can really add stress to your shoot, especially if they would rather run through the woods than pose for their photo. To reduce any potential stressfor you or your dog when planning your e-ession , we recommend:
getting your friend or dog walker to exercise them on a nice long walk whilst you have your session, so they are calmer when ready for their starring role. bringing them along for the last 10-15 minutes, when you'll be more confident in front of the camera, and you can give them the attention they deserve or the very first 10-15 minutes if you think they will calm your nerves. picking a location that is quiet and not crowded so they aren't easily distracted
