Dog Parents, This Is Your Sign to Book a Session with Rhode island photographer Ella Grace Photography

Let’s be real. Your dog isn’t just a pet. They’re your shadow, your therapist, your walking buddy, your snack inspector, your alarm clock, and—let’s face it—the most photogenic member of the family.

Whether you’re chasing toddlers at the park or tossing tennis balls at the town beach’s dog-friendly section, there’s one thing we know: the days are long, the years are short, and your pup, won’t stay this age (or this spry) forever. So here it is: your pawfect excuse. Book the dang session with Rhode Island Photographer Carissa, from Ella Grace Photography.

Because you know what looks even better than a golden hour family portrait? A golden hour portrait with floppy ears, a wagging tail, and that big dog smile.

I’ve been photographing families (both the two- and four-legged kind) for over a decade, and I promise you: these memories? You’ll treasure them. Nose smudges and all.

So, bring the leash, the treats, the slobbery tennis ball. Let’s make magic.

P.S. I’d be remiss not to mention that this sweet pup—and our own tiny-but-mighty senior schnauzer Spartacus (affectionately known as The Tiny Rabbit Bain)—both came from the incredible rescue organization, Paws New England. I don’t work for them, I just think they’re awesome and am forever grateful they brought Spartacus into our lives. If you’re thinking about adopting or fostering, you can learn more about Paws on their website here.
