Why Pet Photography?

​To be honest, I did attempt horse photography a few years ago, but never really dedicated myself to it. It became more of a hobby to do on the side. Fast forward to now… my situation is very, very different. I have a 9-year old boxer who has a disease called Degenerative Myelopathy. It’s a disease with no cure or medical treatment.

Knowing how quickly things with this disease can progress and not knowing how much time I have left with Logan, I decided to have photos taken of us together. As a photographer, I have tons of photos of him, but not many of us together aside from a few cell phone selfies. I reached out to a friend who is also a photographer and she agreed to come over right away to do a session.
 
The excitement and anticipation that I felt waiting to see her photos along with the emotional attachment that I felt looking at the photos made me realize what a gift photography can be. Knowing that I have these photos of my boy and I together brings me so much comfort during this difficult time. My hope, or maybe I should say mission, is to give other pet owners that same sense of comfort in knowing that they have beautiful photos of their pets, whatever their pet(s) may be, to have for years to come.
