YES. Okay, now that we've gotten that out of the way...let's talk about why I really do think your dog belongs in your family photographs. They're part of the family...why wouldn't they be? They're part of your story. Our pets are woven into so many parts of our lives. They're there when the kids wake up. They're waiting at the door when you get home. They're on the couch during movie night. They're there for birthdays, holidays, lazy Sundays, and all the completely ordinary

You Took the Photos… Now What? Why Printing Your Family Photos Matters You finally did it! You got everyone dressed. You convinced the kids to cooperate. You found a time that worked around everyone's schedules. You showed up for your family photography session, laughed, loved on each other, and made some memories along the way. And then… you received your gallery. Maybe you downloaded your favorite images right away. Maybe you saved them to your phone. Maybe you shared a
