Planning a maternity shoot and wondering if your furry friend should be part of it? Absolutely, yes!


More and more families across India—from Gurgaon to Hyderabad—are now choosing maternity photoshoots that feel real, emotional, and inclusive. And when your dog is already a part of your family, it only makes sense to include them in this beautiful chapter.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through why pets are becoming a sweet addition to maternity photoshoots, how to plan a dog-friendly shoot, what kind of locations work best, and how Impresio Studio makes these sessions both safe and meaningful—for humans and paws alike.

 

 

Why Are Families Including Pets in Maternity Photoshoots?

In modern Indian families, pets are more than companions—they’re part of the emotional support system. Including them adds:


  • A sense of warmth and completeness
  • Authentic moments of interaction
  • Natural poses and expressions
  • A fun twist to otherwise traditional photos


Whether it’s a golden retriever resting beside the bump or a tiny dog sitting on dad’s lap, these moments feel unscripted and unforgettable.

How Can You Plan a Maternity Shoot with Your Dog?


 

 

 

Including your dog in a maternity shoot doesn’t have to be complicated. A little planning goes a long way:


  • Choose a pet-friendly location (like a private farmhouse or open outdoor setup)
  • Pick a time when your pet is most calm and active
  • Bring along treats, toys, and water
  • Let your photographer know in advance so they can plan around your pet’s comfort


At Impresio Studio, we schedule breaks during such sessions and assign a shoot coordinator to help with pet cues.

What Kind of Locations Work Best for a Pet-Friendly Maternity Shoot?

The right location ensures both safety and candid joy. Top choices include:


  • Enclosed farmhouses or lawns in Gurgaon, Faridabad, and Noida
  • Boho outdoor setups with enough space to run around
  • Cozy indoor studio setups where your dog feels secure
  • Nature trails or parks (with prior permission)


We also help clients scout spaces that are easy to clean and low on distractions for the pet.


What to Wear for a Maternity Shoot with Your Dog?



Outfit choices should focus on comfort, visual harmony, and pet practicality:


  • Flowing gowns or dresses in breathable fabrics
  • Color-coordinated clothing for couple + pet-friendly accessories
  • Neutrals or pastels that work well with both natural and indoor light
  • Avoid long drapes that your pet might trip on


Bonus: Some moms love getting matching bandanas or accessories for their dogs!

How Including Pets Adds Emotional Value to Pregnancy Memories

Your maternity photos shouldn’t feel staged—they should feel like you. And pets help bring out:


  • Playful interactions that ease nervous energy
  • Deep, emotional stills when your pet rests near your bump
  • Memorable stories to tell your baby later
  • A symbol of love that already exists in your family unit


Including your dog doesn’t just make your shoot unique—it makes it emotionally complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of dogs are suitable for maternity shoots?

All breeds are welcome! What matters is your dog’s temperament, training, and comfort around new environments.

Should my pet be groomed before the shoot?

It’s a good idea to groom your pet for a polished look—especially if they’ll be in close-up family shots.

Do I need to bring anything for my pet to the shoot?

Yes. Bring water, treats, a leash, toys, and anything that keeps your dog calm and happy during the session.

How long does a maternity shoot with a pet usually take?

It takes slightly longer—typically 2 to 2.5 hours—because we allow time for your pet to settle in.
