Maternity photo shoots are always full of impending joy and adorableness. This couple decided that their pups needed to be included in their maternity portraits!


Animal advocate and rescuer Sanjana Madappa recently had a beautiful baby boy she and her husband, Aditya Raheja, named Ayan.

The couple, who live in Bengaluru, India, was told by many family, friends, and even doctors that they should no longer care for the several dogs they rescued and shared their lives with because they were having a baby. Sanjana is an animal lover and works with the rescue organization Compassion Unlimited Plus Action (CUPA), which is where many of the couple’s dogs originally came from.

But Sanjana and Aditya knew that there was no way that they would ever surrender their dogs, and proved their point by including their pack in some adorable maternity photos.

The photos have gone viral and show that a pregnant couple can absolutely have a fairy-tail ending… and it’s obvious that the dogs can’t wait for their new human baby brother!

The couple’s sweet baby boy was recently born a week after this shoot, and we can’t wait to see new photos of the happy family!
