10+ Beautiful Photos Capturing Tender Moments Between Dogs And Their Young Families

These photographic portraits of dogs with babies are so gentle and beautiful they will melt your heart! Photographer Lindsey Potter loves taking photographs and specializes in taking pictures of families. Many of her photographs feature family dogs gently interacting with the newest members of their families because it’s what the families want.

The South Florida photographer says, “Most of my clients love their dogs immensely and consider them to be part of the family,” Lindsey told DogHeirs.com. “I strive to capture the love that everyone feels for each other.” She adds, “What is more loving than the family dog?”

That love shines through in the pet portraits captured by the mother and former elementary school teacher. Maybe it’s in part because Lindsey really loves dogs herself.  Lindsey shared a few of her photographs and tells the story of how her family rescued their two dogs. One of her dogs  – Jensen – is quite famous for her antics around town.

“My husband and I had the most amazing Yellow Lab in the world, Georgia. She was the kind of dog that you would never forget. In fact, from the day we adopted her, she and my husband were inseparable. She even went to work with him every day. Once she died from old age, we were devastated.”

“After a while, we decided that we would like to adopt another dog. We had discussed the option of getting another Lab or possibly a Mastiff. My husband went to a local shelter and found a dog who happened to be listed as a Mastiff/Lab mix. She had been hit by a car and nursed back to health by the shelter. We thought it must be fate and adopted Jensen that week.”

“We soon learned that Jensen had the energy of approximately 20 Jack Russell Terriers on RedBull, and she was easily the most intelligent dog that we’d ever encountered. She began exhibiting several quirky/naughty behaviors (running away, taking naps on the dining room table, chewing everything in sight). It’s not everyday that you find a 90 pound dog who jumps into your kitchen sink to pee!”

“Although we gave Jensen plenty of exercise, we thought that she might be a bit more well behaved if she had a friend. We really missed having a Yellow Lab, and found one at another shelter who had been surrendered because he had heartworms. We adopted him, named him Sawyer (we were big fans of the show LOST at the time), and brought him home and began treatment for his heartworms. Luckily, he had no permanent heart damage, and has been a healthy dog ever since. We describe Sawyer as the “textbook Lab.” If you feed him, rub his belly, and tell him that he is a good boy, he thinks that he’s had the best day of his life!”

    I got Troy from Battersea Dogs Home when I was 6 months pregnant.. His tail wagged whenever the kids went by. He was the most wonderful companion, friend, soulmate and brother. Over 20 years after he went to Rainbow Bridge we still talk about him and remember him with love x

    Why the hell would anyone get rid of a family member because they had a new family member? People are terrible. These photos are amazing and are something I’ll be doing as well! 🙂
