# Easter cards with kids and dogs without a pile-on > For a kid-and-dog Easter card, put the child on a chair and the dog on a sit-stay two feet away, both facing the same window. If the pair fails, make two portraits. Run an Easter look on the dog file only. Keep chocolate eggs out of the set. - **Product:** Halloween Paws AI by Bryan Ellis - **Holiday:** Easter - **Audience:** Parents and relatives making one card with a child and a dog - **Published:** 2026-02-02 - **Updated:** 2026-08-18 - **HTML:** https://halloweenpaws.com/blog/easter/kids-and-dogs-easter-cards - **App Store:** https://apps.apple.com/us/app/easter-paws-ai/id6756220823 ## Two feet of air A six-year-old holding a basket will lean. A spaniel on a sit-stay will break if the basket is interesting. Place them two feet apart on a level floor, both facing the sink window. One adult talks to the child. One adult holds the dog’s stay or the leash. You shoot. Take ten frames. The moment a hand goes over the muzzle, stop and reset. You want two faces with light in the eyes, not a hug that hides the dog. If the child does not want to be in the photo, believe them. Make a dog card. The child can draw on the envelope. ## Chocolate, plastic grass, and fingers If the card is for a hunt household, photograph before any candy hits the floor. Plastic grass and small eggs are finger and paw problems. Use an empty basket as a prop, or no basket. If you want overflowing decorated eggs around the dog later, Egg Hunt can go on the dog-only file. Do not put foil in anyone’s mouth for a joke. Watch the dog’s mouth around small parts. The card is not worth a trip. A closed tin in another room is part of the lighting setup. You cannot light a face and police candy at the same time if you are the only adult. ## When to split the portraits If the pair never lines up, photograph the child against the same window, then the dog. You can place the prints side by side on one card, or send two photos in one chat. Do not force a look onto a child. Halloween Paws AI is a dog-portrait app. Run Easter Bunny, Spring Meadow, or Egg Hunt on the spaniel if you want a set. Keep the child’s file straight. A generated garden around a kid you did not upload is not a feature. Honesty looks better on a fridge than a mashup you cannot explain. ## Light that serves two different faces Children’s skin and a black spaniel coat want different exposures. Face both toward the window so you are not choosing one silhouette. If the child’s face blows, drop exposure and live with a slightly darker dog; you can still see eyes if the window is in front. Avoid a bright window behind them. Kneel to the child’s eye line so the dog is not a scalp in the foreground. If the dog is a Great Dane, sit the child on a second step so the heads neighbor each other. The card has to read as a pair, not as a landscape with a tiny person. ## The send and the consent Ask the parent who is not you before you post a child’s face to a wide grid. A family chat of eleven is different from a public account. The dog file can go wider. If you used a look on the dog, you can say so. If the child is not in that file, say that too so relatives stop asking where the kid went. Save both originals. iOS 15.1 or later runs the app. Credits are $1.99, $8.99, and $14.99 for 1, 5, and 10. You likely need zero or one credit for this card, not a pack, unless you also make a dog-only joke file. ## Do this in order 1. Set child and dog two feet apart, both facing a window. 2. Use two adults if you have them: one child, one dog. 3. If the pair fails, shoot two portraits in the same light. 4. Run an Easter look on the dog file only, if you want a set. 5. Keep candy closed until the session ends. ## How this maps to Halloween Paws AI Easter looks in the app right now: - **Easter Bunny** — Bunny ears in a spring garden surrounded by colorful eggs and flowers. - **Spring Meadow** — A blooming meadow with butterflies, wildflowers, and hidden eggs. - **Egg Hunt** — Baskets overflowing with decorated eggs and classic spring decorations.

The app is for dog portraits. Photograph the pair yourself, or run a look on a dog-only photo. ### The child will not sit. Now what? Make a dog card. Let the child decorate the envelope. Try the pair another morning if they want to. ### Which look works on the dog half of a split card? Egg Hunt if the child’s side has a basket. Spring Meadow if both sides should feel like air. Easter Bunny if the joke is ears on the dog only. ## Cite this page Easter cards with kids and dogs without a pile-on — Halloween Paws AI — https://halloweenpaws.com/blog/easter/kids-and-dogs-easter-cards — updated 2026-08-18.
