Like you, I have been blessed to know a few amazing dogs in my life. 
Sadly, this means I also know too well the pain that comes with losing them.

As a way to honor the special animals that have touched our lives, I offer completely free end-of-life photography sessions for elderly or terminally ill pets.

THE DETAILS

free

30-minute session

20 edited digital images
 
an online gallery

printing rights

I will edit these within a week and deliver them via a gallery link sent to your email. I will send you a heads up before I send the link, as I realize sometimes people may not be quite ready yet to see the images. The gallery won't expire, so they'll be there when you're ready.

HOW LONG AFTER OUR SESSION WILL WE RECEIVE OUR GALLERY?

No. Lots of families use these sessions to get a handful of family photos with an elderly dog who is still in good health as a "just in case" measure. Other families use these after receiving a sad diagnosis from the vet, and others have used them on the pet's last day of life. 

does my pet have to be sick for this offer to apply?

I am happy to do these sessions anywhere within an hour of Champaign County, Illinois. I can come to your home/yard or we can find a public park or location-- whatever is easiest, as I know some animals may not be in a good position to travel. 


do you travel for these? 

Absolutely. Anyone who is a part of the pet's life is welcome to join in on the photos.

CAN I BRING MY KIDS/other DOGS/ FAMILY?

No! These sessions are for any special animal that has touched your life- dogs, cats, horses, snakes, lizards, frogs, birds, gerbils... you name it.

are these for dogs only?

No. These sessions are completely free and come with the edited digital images, also free. There are no hidden costs. This is just something I offer to people who love their pets as much as I love mine.

Are there hidden costs?
