the importance

End of Life photos are a heartfelt way to honor the incredible bond we share with our canine companions. These moments captured in time allow us to celebrate the love, joy, and unique personality that our dogs brought into our lives. As we navigate the difficult journey of saying goodbye, these photos serve as a beautiful reminder of the happiness they gave us and the memories we created together. Celebrating life with your dog during their final days can be a therapeutic process by expressing your love and grief in a meaningful way.  They hold the power to comfort our hearts, preserving the essence of our beloved dogs and ensuring that their spirit lives on in our memory forever.

the approach

End of Life photos are truly an honor to capture. Relating to the unique bond and undying love between each owner and their beloved dog is the reason that End of Life sessions hold a place that is near and dear to my heart. I approach each session with compassion and sensitivity, creating an environment that is as calm and comfortable as I can make it to help you and your dog feel at ease. My goal is to capture the uniqueness and true spirit of your canine companion while highlighting the love and the joy they brought into your life. With a focus on storytelling through images, I aim to create beautiful, heartfelt photos that you can treasure forever, honoring the special moments you've shared and providing even an ounce of comfort during this difficult time.

the plan

With End of Life sessions, I understand that oftentimes, time is of the essence. After reaching out to me with the request of an End of Life session, I will promptly get back with you with my soonest dates and times to get you scheduled as soon as possible - especially if time is limited.

After setting a date and time, we will discuss your needs for the session to make it as perfect as we can. I will provide you with a questionnaire to learn more about you and your dog's relationship along with any special requirements you or your dog may have. We will determine what location is best fit for your dog in terms of comfortability to allow their true personality to shine.

Because we did all of the planning beforehand, during the session, I will know exactly what is needed to make you and your dog feel the most comfortable, so the only thing you need to do is spend quality time with your best friend.

pricing

For these incredibly important and heartfelt sessions, I offer up to an hour and a half of session time complimentary to you. We will let the dog decide how long they would like to be in front of the camera. Because our main goal is to capture your dog in a light that you remember them and showcasing their true personality, it is important to recognize when they are tired and ready to finish up their session.

After the session, you will receive an online gallery containing the unedited photos from our session for you to choose from to be edited. The only payment that is incurred for End of Life sessions are the images that you select to be edited. You will not have to pay for any images that you did not select. Each digital image that you select is $20.00 per image and will be delivered to you fully edited in an online gallery.


Please note that unedited photos are not be screenshot, shared, or altered in anyway. Unedited images are not available for purchase.
