70% of Pet Parents Choose An Album from their Dog Photo Session
Yep, 70% – I did the math. So why do so many pet parents choose an album from their dog’s photo session to display their images? In this post, I’m sharing 3 reasons the album is the number choice for pet parents!
“I love the album – it’s such a beautiful keepsake of my boys that I proudly show to anyone who walks through our front door.”

Narrowing Down Your Favorite Images is Hard – Choosing an Album Let’s You Display More of Your Dog’s Photos
The most exciting part of working together is getting to see your images for the first time, but it’s also the hardest part as you make decisions about how you want to enjoy your favorites. After all, art is meant to be lived with! Most of my clients find a few stand out portraits they immediately know are perfect for creating a gallery wall or a statement piece of wall art.
But, there are so many other great images that you love too. Choosing a photo album from your dog’s session lets you display your favorite 20, 35, or more images. And the photo album means enjoying all the details, bloopers, and story telling images in addition to the portraits!
Choosing An Album Tells the Whole Story:
Portraits, Candid Images, Details, & Bloopers From Your Dog’s Session Can Be Included
Your album is a personal story book all about your dog. As you turn the thick silk pages you’ll see gorgeous portraits of your dog of course, but with an album you can also include silly faces you love, the close up details of those perfect fuzzy toes, the candid moments from the session, and even a blooper or two!
While that photo of your dog clutching her favorite (disgusting) slobber dripping tennis ball clamped delicately in her jaws might not be the right choice for over the mantle, it’s exactly right for the pages of her album devoted to her love of fetch.
And that ridiculous face he makes after chomping his favorite treat? You know the one where he’s got a big goofy grin, his tongue lolling to one side, and maybe a little head tilt as he begs for another one. That face that is so him belongs in an album that you can revisit now, tomorrow, and in 15 years.



Your Dog’s Album Can Be Personalized to Your Story
This isn’t your grandmama’s photo album! (And I say that lovingly because I cherish my grandmama’s photo albums full of lovingly glued in prints).
Once you’ve decided on an album from your dog’s photo session, we’ll start customizing! I’ll design an album layout highlighting your favorite images and telling the story of our session.
And then we’ll go over covers. From cameo covers that showcase a favorite image like a frame to subtly beautiful blind debossing on the cover with your dog’s name we can make your album cover a perfect fit for your home. As an extra special detail we can foil stamp a special message on the inside back cover. It’s a the perfect place for the year of the session, your dog’s “official” name, or a favorite nickname!

Last year 70% of dog parents chose an album of their dog’s images from our session making the album the clear favorite.
It’s easy to see why it’s the front runner when you can include ALL your favorite images – even the details, candids, & bloopers – in a completely custom way.

I love the bloopers! Albums are such a great way to showcase all sides of their personalities. I’m sure my pups would have lots of bloopers to choose from!

Yes, some of those slobbery pictures are best for the album…but you definitely have to have them.
