This Photographer Gave Her Pregnant Dachshund an Over-the-Top Maternity Shoot, and It's Magical

Laura Shockley, a photographer from Lakewood, WA, has a knack for capturing tender moments. And given the fact she specializes in maternity and newborn photography, Laura knew she had to go above and beyond when she discovered her 2-year-old long-haired Dachshund, Sugar, was expecting. Putting her skills to use, Laura gave Sugar the full maternity experience — complete with a flower crown — and it was simply incredible.

"Maternity and newborn photography is just a part of me, and Sugar is a part of me so I wanted to have a sweet memento to look back on. She's getting close to the end of her pregnancy and we took her for a day filled with pup cups and peanut butter treats, it ended with her maternity session. If people can feel special on their photo shoot days, so can Sugar!"

Sugar is due between Sept. 1 and 7, and Laura is counting down the days until she gets to meet her pups. Scroll ahead to see this soon-to-be mama's full shoot!
