Although engagement portraits can be incredibly romantic, I am always happy to see ones that include kids and dogs too! I think of engagement portraits as a snapshot of the present, like this Virginia Beach engagement session from Fresh Look Photography. Tundra is a gorgeous dog that claimed the heart of the bride 12 years ago. In the past few years, Tundra also stole the hearts of the groom and his son.
From Judith: “Brittaney and David were so much fun to photograph – especially since they were channeling all the fall vibes in their session! And just wait till you see the photos with their sweet puppy Tundra!”
From Brittaney: “Tundra is the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of having in my life. She was born on January 23, 2009. Her mom was my mom’s dog Angel, and Tundra is the spitting image of her. I asked my mom if I could have one of Angel’s puppies, and she continuously told me I couldn’t take care of my room, so how could I take care of an animal?
Well, when Tundra was born, I begged and pleaded with my mom to let me have her. She finally said yes, and I proved her wrong in every way. Tundra came and did everything with me! She has been my best friend for 12 years now. If it is raining, I have to force her outside, but she loves playing in the snow. 
Tundra is the biggest cuddler and my biggest protector. David has come to love her almost as much as I do in the few years we have been in his life, but he knew right off the bat that we were a package deal. Tundra is the sweetest, best dog, and I don’t know what my life would be like without her!”

That’s wonderful to hear the dog got such a good home from the time of being a pup. The pics turned out fantastic. Congrats to the happy fam.
Such gorgeous pictures and the photography is amazing, I don’t think we would ever get our family dog to sit down for a minute.
Congrats to the happy couple and family. Tundra looks like he gets along with his new Dad and big brother just fine. I love this photo shoot incorporating the child and dog together. Best wishes to the family.
Chuckling over what her Mom said and how she proved her wrong, Tundra is just adorable and that smile made me smile, love the happiness in the photos
Oh wow! This family is wonderful! Tundra is so lucky to have them and vice versa. Thanks for sharing these stunning photos.
That portrait of Brittaney and Tundra is one in a million. It captures such a special bond. Wonderful.
I hope the family treasured their photo session as much as we have.
I love when pets and kids are included in engagement photos too, it’s extra special! Tundra is gorgeous, and you can see how the groom’s son has bonded with him. What a beautiful little family they’ll be!
