A Dog’s Day Out Maternity Session | Kira Jeffrey Photography | Charlotte, NC

Dogs are often more than pets – they’re family. Including your dog in your maternity or newborn session feels like a true representation of your life and the next chapter. Dogs have an amazing ability to show loyalty and love, and their natural energy brings a special spark to any photo. While there isn’t any scientific evidence to prove it, there is significant proof to show that our dogs can sense the changes to a woman’s unique scents, hormones and changes in her mood and can tell their owner is pregnant even before she knows! This maternity session was a sweet reminder of how special it is to document the little moments and the people (and animals!) who make up our lives.
