If you're in the photo too but want to keep the focus on your furry co-star, try a pose where you're looking at your dog rather than at the camera. This simple trick highlights them and creates a heartwarming moment for your holiday photos. ❤️
Tip #2: Let it Snow

If it snows where you live, embrace the winter wonderland! The best time to shoot outdoors in the snow is early morning or late afternoon, when the light adds a magical touch to the snowy scene.
Pro tip: A bright accessory will make your pup stand out against the white backdrop. ❄️
Tip #3: Deck the Halls

Lights add a magical touch to any photo. String lights around your pup (safely and loosely), or set up a sparkling background of fairy lights. Soft, glowing lights make photos feel warm and inviting! 🌟
Pro tip: if you have an iPhone, use portrait mode for the perfect blurred background.
Tip #7: Capture Candid Moments

Some of the best photos come from spontaneous, candid moments. Let your pup sniff the decorations, play with wrapping paper, or even unwrap a toy. Capturing these natural moments adds genuine joy to your holiday photos and preserves memories that feel true to your family’s holiday spirit. 🐕
