Back to School!

Back to School, But Make It Dogs šŸŽ’āœļøšŸ¾

School picture day got a major upgradeĀ this year… because instead of awkward smiles and questionable haircuts, we had DOGS. šŸ˜‚

Our Back to School sessions at Pixie Sticks Dog BoutiqueĀ were full of tiny scholars, very serious students, questionable attention spans and at least a few pups who were clearly only attending class for the snacks.

And this SET. šŸ˜ Giant pencils, crayons, ABC blocks, a globe, bright colors and all the nostalgic school-picture-day vibes — just way cuter.

Every dog brings something different


This is one of my favorite things about themed sessions: the set might stay the same, but every dog makes it completely their own.

Some sit down like they’ve been practicing for picture day all week. Some give me the ā€œmy mother signed me up for thisā€Ā face. Some need a little extra time to sniff everything, figure me out and decide whether participating is worth the treats.

And all of that is okay.

My job isn’t to make every dog behave exactly the same for a photo. It’s to work with the dog in front of me — their personality, comfort level, attention span and all.

Because perfectly behaved isn’t a requirement for ridiculously cute school pictures.


Pop-up dog photography at Pixie Sticks

I love getting to create these little themed photo days at Pixie Sticks Dog Boutique. They’re short, fun sessions designed specifically for dogs, with a completely different experience from a traditional portrait session.

You come in, we let your pup get situated, I work my dog-photographer magic (which involves an unreasonable collection of noises šŸ˜‚), and before they know it, picture day is DONE.

No homework required.

Just cute dogs, fun sets and photos that you’ll be pulling out years from now thinking, I cannot believe I actually did school pictures for my dog.

And I will be here to remind you:

Of course you did. Your dog is your child.Ā šŸ˜‚

Keep an eye out for upcoming Good Vibes Dogtography pop-up sessions at Pixie Sticks Dog Boutique — because apparently we have decided dogs need their own entire school-year calendar of photo days.

And I fully support this decision. šŸ¾šŸ“šāœØ
