Monte and Sarah | Belmont Harbor Engagement Session with Their Dog
Why Choose Belmont Harbor for Your Engagement Session?
Belmont Harbor is a gem along Chicago’s lakeshore, offering stunning waterfront views, a mix of greenery and urban vibes, and a serene atmosphere that’s perfect for photos. It’s also dog-friendly, which was ideal for Monte and Sarah, who brought along their furry friend to join the fun. The harbor’s pathways, skyline views, and calm waters provide endless opportunities for unique and meaningful shots.
Tips for Including Your Dog in Engagement Photos
Let Your Photographer Know: If you’re planning to include your dog, let me know ahead of time. I’ll help you pick locations that work well and ensure we capture moments that include your pup seamlessly.
Bring a Helper: Having a friend or family member there to help manage your dog when they’re not in the frame can make the session run smoothly.
Pack the Essentials: Bring treats, a favorite toy, and a leash to keep your dog engaged and comfortable. Don’t forget water and a portable bowl, especially if it’s a warm day.
Visit the Location Ahead of Time: If your dog isn’t familiar with Belmont Harbor, consider visiting before the session to help them feel at ease.
Plan for Breaks: Dogs can get restless, so it’s important to schedule breaks to let them relax and play a little.
Monte and Sarah’s Engagement Session
Monte and Sarah’s session at Belmont Harbor was such a joy. Despite the cool breeze off the lake, their dog’s playful energy kept the mood light and fun. We started with casual shots along the harbor’s pathways, capturing candid moments as they walked and played with their pup. From there, we moved to the waterfront to take advantage of the skyline views, which added an iconic Chicago touch to their photos.
Their dog’s excitement brought out genuine smiles and laughter, making every shot feel authentic. We balanced posed portraits with candid moments, creating a gallery that felt true to their story.
