Capturing the Unbreakable Bond Between You and Your Dog

They greet you at the door, follow you from room to room, and love you without conditions. Dogs are not just pets—they’re family. If you’re looking for emotional and timeless dog and human photography in Burlington, you’re in the perfect place. At Memories by Marie Photography, I specialize in heartfelt portraits that celebrate the beautiful bond you share with your furry best friend. These images are love stories told through wagging tails, gentle touches, and soulful eyes.

1. Why Include Your Dog in Your Portrait Session?

Dogs bring unmatched joy, comfort, and personality into our lives. Including them in your portraits adds authenticity and emotional depth. Whether you’re planning a beauty session, a family shoot, or a pet-specific session, dogs are part of your story—and I’m here to help you honour that connection through dog and human photography Burlington.


2. What Kind of Sessions Work Best for Dog and Human Photography?

I offer flexible, pet-inclusive sessions that move at your dog’s pace. Whether it’s a cozy studio setup or an outdoor adventure, the goal is to capture genuine moments. Some dogs love to snuggle; others love to explore—both are equally beautiful to document.


3. Tips for a Successful Dog and Human Photography Session

Bring a few of your dog’s favorite treats and toys. Let me know about any special quirks or needs in advance. Don’t stress if your dog doesn’t behave perfectly—sometimes those unpredictable moments lead to the most treasured photographs.


4. Capturing the Heart of Your Bond

There’s nothing more touching than a dog leaning into their person, or the shared joy in your smiles. During your dog and human photography Burlington session, I focus on freezing those genuine, love-filled moments in a bright, clean, and timeless style.


5. A Gift That Lasts Forever

Our time with our dogs feels all too short. These portraits give you a way to hold onto their love, their quirks, and their soul, long after the moment has passed. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a wise senior, now is always the right time to preserve your story together.


If your dog is part of your heart, they deserve to be part of your memories. Let’s celebrate that beautiful bond with a dog and human photography Burlington session. Years from now, these images won’t just make you smile—they’ll bring you right back to the love you shared.
