Pippa the Springer Spaniel is a huge part of her humans’ lives, so of course, she joined them in their engagement session with Layla Eloa Photography. Layla, Gracie, Craig, and Pippa went to several dog-friendly locations in Chicago for a beautiful fall engagement session. Pippa’s floral collar is the perfect accessory.
From Gracie: “Craig and I love spending time with our dog Pippa who we got together about four years ago. We love to take her to the beach, on the riverwalk, or anywhere in Chicago that allows dogs! We are always trying to plan activities that we can bring Pippa with us.
I was very unsure about getting a dog when Craig suggested it because I had never had one. Craig grew up with Springer Spaniels and he knew that was the kind of dog he wanted to get for us. When Pippa came home, I was instantly in love.
Pippa has a personality that’s better than most humans and she is the most cuddly loving dog. She gets jealous when Craig and I show affection to each other so we usually end up in a group cuddle! 
Pippa loves swimming at the beach, sunbathing on our balcony, and the doggy treat truck. I can’t imagine life without Pippa.”

An adorable trio, the floral collar is the perfect touch. Chicago is my old stomping ground from many years ago. It makes the perfect background.
These are some precious engagement photos. I love being on the beach as well. I love the flower on Pippa.
Such a sweet couple and Pippa makes three. Pippa seems at home in the park, beach or around town what a great friend to have.
What I love the dog! I wish every dog out there could have a family like this that just loves them. It is so obvious that this family loves this dog.
What great pictures. You and your hubby are a great couple, then throw in that gorgeous dog, and perfection. These are terrific pictures!
What a sweet pup! These photos are fantastic! Pippa seems like a very lucky and well loved girl.

Pippa is adorable! Such a good looking family. Plus, Chicago has a special place in my heart since we live so close, it’s fun seeing my city featured in these cute photos!
She’s so pretty with the flowers around her neck! She just looks like such a happy dog, especially in the beach scene!
What a darling fur baby! Love how energetic Pippa is during the shoot! The photos look so much more full of life because of her! I’m sure everyone had a great time bonding with the family!
Wow! These are really stunning photos. I couldn’t stop myself from looking at it all over again. And Pippa is really a beauty!
The pictures are absolutely adorable! The dog is just as cute as a button. You guys are good looking.
This reminds me of my siblings – they both incorporated their dogs into their engagements photos back when they got engaged. I mean, the pups are part of their family so it only makes sense !!
Great shots! That photo with the Chicago skyline as backdrop is lovely. And how adorable is Pippa?!
That is a really beautiful dog! My dad had a spaniel when we were kids. They are such great dogs. This one does amazing with photos too.
Oh my word Pippa is so adorable! i really love the flowers around the color. Such a cute idea!

Pippa is really cute and adorable dog. I like that he loves cuddle with family .
Oh my gosh, that pup is so cute! I really love the floral collar! Perfect for the photos
I do love all Spaniels. It does seem that the Springer Spaniel is the one who fared the best so far when it comes to a healthier breed.
