I have been working with the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria for years. One of the events I do with them is Pet Santa Pics. I would highly recommend doing this with your pet. Not only are the pictures fun but the memories you make during the session can be priceless. This year one of the dogs we were working with was scared of Santa. So we moved Santa to behind the tree and look at the results.

And here are a few more that make my heart melt.

Put a reminder on your calendar at the beginning of October to look for Pet Santa Picture events in your area. Many of them are held by local animal shelters. Not only do you get an amazing pic and some great memories but you also get to help animals!

A Note from Alison —

There is so much happiness family and pets bring to life and capturing these moments during a session allows me to share this happiness with others. I can’t help but to have a good time when I am on the job. My studio provides pet and family photography in DC and Northern Virginia, including Reston, Arlington, Alexandria and other VA locations. Contact me with any questions about my sessions. I look forward to working with you!
