When a client arrives for their session with their beloved bearded dragon, aptly named Beardy, you swiftly tap into your creative reservoir to come up with unique posing ideas. The challenge? I have never taken photographs of a bearded dragon to use as a prop during a session. However, I didn't allow that to hinder me. I love a good challenge, and Beardy was an exceptional subject. Surprisingly, this endeavor was less challenging than anticipated.


Abigail, who is shy, sweet, and introverted, would always light up whenever her beloved dragon was nearby. This worked perfectly for us, as we captured some beautiful photos. Beardy brought out a side of Abigail that was pure magic, making each shot more captivating than the last. August is an ideal time to take photos due to the beautiful lighting and perfect backdrop. The warm, golden light complemented Abigail and Beardy perfectly, adding a touch of enchantment to each frame.


We came up with some creative posing ideas, making the most of Beardy's unique charm. Whether he was perched on Abigail’s shoulder or gently cradled in her hands, each shot showcased their special bond. Beardy, with his scaly splendor, added an unexpected yet delightful twist to the photos.


Congratulations, Abigail! Your session with Beardy was a joy to capture. The love you have for your dragon and the way you lit up in his presence made for some truly stunning photographs. Thank you for trusting me with this unique and heartwarming session.


So, if you’re considering including your beloved pet in your photoshoot, take a cue from Abigail and Beardy. Embrace the uniqueness, let your love for your pet shine, and you might end up with some of the most memorable photos ever.
