7 Autumn Photo Ideas With Your Dog
Autumn is one of the most magical seasons to capture memories with your pup. Crisp leaves, golden light, and cosy moments make the perfect backdrop for those Instagram-worthy shots. And, let’s be honest, any excuse to get our dogs involved in seasonal fun is a win.
To help inspire your autumn photoshoots, we’ve gathered 7 creative ideas that are as easy as they are beautiful. Whether you’re planning a pumpkin patch adventure or a cosy café date, these ideas will guarantee photos you’ll treasure forever.
1. Dive Into a Pile of Leaves
There’s nothing quite like the joy on your pup’s face when they jump into a crunchy pile of autumn leaves. Find the biggest heap you can and let them go wild.
💡 Pro tip: Toss in their favourite toy or a treat to capture the best action shots. You’ll get tails wagging and paws flying.
2. An Autumnal Café Date
Take your pup out for a seasonal coffee date and snap some chic lifestyle shots. Sitting outside a café with a hot drink in hand and your pup by your side? That’s peak autumn aesthetic.
Dressing your dog in a stylish accessory like our Ivory Cream Collection will make the photos even more striking. Think of it as their café date outfit — elegant, coordinated, and oh-so-Instagrammable.
3. Spooky Season Ghosts
This one has gone viral for a reason. Cut two small eye holes and a nose hole in a white sheet and gently drape it over your pup for the cutest ghost costume ever.
💡 Pro tip: Have treats at the ready to keep them happy and still while you snap away.
4. Leaf Balancing Challenge
It’s simple but adorable: get your dog to balance an autumn leaf on their head. Not only is it hilarious in the moment, but the photos are guaranteed to make you smile for years to come.
💡 Pro tip: Start with small leaves before working your way up to bigger ones — and keep those treats handy.
5. Pumpkin Patch Adventures
Head to your local pumpkin patch and let your pup steal the show. It’s a brilliant backdrop for family photos too, especially if you coordinate your pup’s accessories with your outfit. (Hint: Ivory Cream looks so good with pumpkin orange!)
6. Nature-Inspired Props
Collect conkers, pine cones, acorns, and autumn leaves on your walk and style them into your at-home photo setups. It’s such an easy way to bring a touch of the season indoors.
💡 Pro tip: Use a white sheet or sofa backdrop and scatter the natural props around your pup for a warm, editorial feel.
7. The Heart-Shaped Leaf Frame
This one takes a little DIY magic. Find a large leaf, fold it in half, and cut out a symmetrical heart shape. Then, use it as a frame to photograph your pup through. The result? A truly unique autumn portrait.
Final Thoughts
Autumn is all about slowing down, embracing the season, and enjoying those magical everyday moments with your dog. Whether it’s a playful leap into the leaves or a cosy café date in your Ivory Cream Collection, these simple photo ideas will give you beautiful keepsakes to treasure.
So grab your camera (or your phone), wrap up warm, and let your pup be the star of your autumn story.
