Hey y’all, this is my official announcement of my semi-last travel sessions of the year (next up is Scottsdale, AZ in December/January). I’ll be in Chicago aka the Windy City from November 17-23. Sessions will be available on a first come first serve basis. Shoot me a message for more info. Can’t wait to hear from you!! :)
It only took me five years, but I finally got to photograph my first English Bulldog, and it was totally worth it! Gemma is so fricking cute, and she had me laughing with all of her goofy expressions. If you’re on IG, go follow her @gemmabellabully!
Thank you Carolyn and Andrew for such an amazing session. I hope you’re in love with her images as much as I am!
After meeting and photographing Sara, if there’s one phrase that summed her up, it would be, live life to the fullest.
At 12.5 years young, Sara was recently diagnosed with cancer, and the reason for the setting up of our session. Despite feeling crappy in the previous weeks, she seemed to know that day was for her and completely shined for the camera during our session. Smiling and posing it up while also sneaking in lots of kisses to everyone (including me!), it was hard not to laugh when she also figured out where all the good treats were and “happened” upon them between shots.
We spent her session doing all of her favorite things: cuddling with her humans, eating treats, and playing FRISBEE. I am in love with the image where she’s smiling and carrying the frisbee at the same time (below).
Sadly, about a week after our session, I received the heartbreaking news that the cancer had ended up spreading quickly to the point where she could no longer walk or drink water, and her owners made the difficult decision to let her go. It’s hard to believe that we almost postponed our session to the following week due to weather. I am so grateful that the weather gods ended up listening and gave us such beautiful weather that day.
Thank you Stacy and Adam for a wonderful session, and for sharing your Sara with me. I can tell how special and loved she was, and I know she will be much missed. RIP sweet gal. <3
