kirby :: minneapolis bulldog photographer

I’ve had lots of breed “firsts” in the studio lately, and Kirby was the first Bulldog that’s come over.

new name for the “emergency session”

I think I’ve found the perfect name for these very important sessions for terminally ill or elderly pets: The Joy Session. I couldn’t think of anything or anyone I’ve met who embodies such love and such a deep connection as Joan and Joy. Remember, Joy was Joan’s Service Dog, and absolutely meant the world to...
