senior dog, legacy end of life sessions

When your dog is about to journey over the rainbow bridge or has a terminal illness, it’s time for one last photo session as a compassion tribute. An End of Life photoshoot is a respectful, memorable experience. Understanding that this may be challenging for you emotionally, the photo session for your senior or terminally ill dog is lovingly designed around your dog’s abilities and condition.

“I knew Joy would be the one to capture what I wanted. She was awesome to work with and she took the time to capture beautiful moments that I will forever cherish.”

MAKING THE OUTDOOR, FULL SESSION CHOICE for your dog

“Joy listened patiently while I talked about Eli’s struggles (he is now blind) and why getting these photos done was so important to me. She said hearing about a dog’s temperament and any little quirks they might have helps her to craft the perfect photo session for them. Joy was dedicated to getting the best photos of Eli. When I got my photo gallery, I was elated. Tears came to my eyes. This was it. This was my boy, just as I know him to be. When you are ready to do a photo shoot with your dog you will never regret having Joy be your photographer.
