It feels much too soon to mention Christmas, but it really is approaching quickly! Your furry friend can join the festivities by getting a holiday-themed picture taken! Santa will be present at many of these events, but if your fur-baby isn’t comfortable with Jolly Old Saint Nick they can also get photos without him in a lovely Christmas setting.
For the last two years I have partnered with another local photographer to offer Christmas sessions, but the stars did not align this year. Instead, I have compiled a list of other photographers who are offering this type of session for 2021!
Some of these events support a local rescue, some are for-profit, and some are a mixture of the two. The price, length, backdrops, and what is included in each event varies, so be sure to do your research and choose the event that works best for you and your pup(s)!
As information can change, it is recommended that you check the website or Facebook page of each event to confirm details such as:
- exact location
- whether the event is drop in or if booking is required
- if sessions are by donation or a set session fee
- date and times available
