The Amazing Stuff

Louisiana-based photographer Megan Rion from Imagine That Photography has the skills it takes to show off your family in their best light. However, it’s her wild, woodland friend that makes some moments truly memorable.

This sweet, friendly doe likes to say hello (and steal the show) any time Rion makes a trek to the woods for her scenic photo shoots.

Newborn baby Connor was the most recent client treated to her cameo appearance.

And they even have proof that this wasn’t some Photoshop trickery!

In fact, the cutie has stopped by so many times that Rion has given her a name, Maggie.

Maggie gladly accepts hay and corn as payment for her beautiful modeling services.

And makes each photo more magical in return!

I wouldn’t be surprised if all the attention started to go to Maggie’s cute little head! But hey, she’s earned it. You can find more of Rion’s photography on her Facebook page — including an album dedicated to the scene-stealing starlet.

German photographer Ines Opifanti adopted her adorable pup three years ago on a whim and, like many of our pets tend to do, the little cutie totally changed her perspective on the world. Opifanti quickly noticed how expressive her dog’s face could be, finding it “almost human-like” at times.

Then she remembered the old adage about humans resembling their pooches and decided to put that to the test in front of her lens. Using real owners and their own four-legged friends for models, Opifanti was able to capture the uncanny connection between humans and canines.

She started by photographing the dogs first.

Situated on a podium, she would have the owners talk with their pups to get different reactions.

Of course, there were also plenty of treats around to really entice the cuties to let their true character show.

Opifanti wanted to make sure the dogs stayed calm and relaxed around all the bright lights and flashing lenses.

Once she’d captured the perfect fluffy face, it was the human’s turn to step in front of the camera.

They were instructed to do their best at mimicking the silly expressions on their dogs’ faces…

And it turned out, they were all pretty darn good at it.

Each interpretation shows just how connected the owners are to their dogs.

Opifanti found her models through a Facebook post requesting volunteers.

She didn’t know any of the people (or pups!) before the photoshoot.

Proving that the incredible bond between human and pet truly is universal.

Opifanti plans to continue her awesome photo project with even more people and pups.

Jesse Holland is a professional photographer in Canada. She spends her days shooting weddings and portrait sessions. Recently, she took on a 100-days project on the side…and it’s since turned into an open-ended one that’ll have you hooked.

Her daughter, Ella, and the family Frenchie, Charlie, have been competing in a game of “who wore it better,” and it’s incredibly adorable. So what do you get when you pair almost-unbearable cuteness with perfect lighting and framing? This awesome project…

Dog in bird hat, or baby in bird hat?

Who woke up like this better?

I’m pretty sure both are more interested in the pictures.

Naked dinnertime!

Everyone loves ice cream. EVERYONE.

“Ohhh Canadaaaaa!”

Are you guys from Brooklyn, or Seattle?

Look how shy Ella was the first time she put on this bird hat!

Over the course of the project, they’ve both grown accustomed to loving the camera….

And the camera returns the sentiment!

“You dig the hole, and I’ll fill the moat.”

I guess this one would be more of a “who did dad wear better?”

Of course, there’s a “who did mom wear better,” too.

Sorry, Charlie, school is only for people babies.

Nap time!

Classy in black and white.

Ready to face the world!

Good thing they remembered to protect themselves from the sun.

Everyone loves a good playground sesh.

Just a girl and her pooch enjoying the wonderful wilderness.

I’m pretty sure Charlie would LOVE to go grocery shopping.
