Tampa’s luxurious Westshore Marina is one of the latest up and coming waterfront communities in Tampa so it also happens to be a hip and enjoyable location to capture lifestyle family and pet portraits.
Many people wonder if they should hire a professional photographer to capture their new fur baby and my answer is always … absolutely, yes! These precious puppies are only tiny and adorable snuggle babies for such a small window of time. What better way to capture their sweetness, then with a lifestyle puppy portrait in your home or at your local park or town center.
I captured this lifestyle puppy portrait session with my very own daughter and our brand new Australian Shepherd puppies at the Westshore Marina’s dock area. The pups were around six months old when these photos were taken. The larger dog is: Solstice, who is a mini tricolor blue merle Australian Shepherd. The smaller dog is: Stella, who is a toy black bicolor Australian Shepherd. My darling little one had a complete blast doing a photo shoot with the puppies. They snuggled a bunch, ran around, checked out the water-view, picked flowers and just had a grand ol’ time while I chased them around with my camera! This sort of session would work well with kids and their pups or just adult pet owners and their fur babies. (You can see some of my favorite photos from the session if you scroll down)
