...saying goodbye is the hardest thing you'll ever have to do.
These special, end-of-life sessions are just for terminally ill or elderly pets. Your best friend can live on through keepsakes you can see and touch and talk to.
Every touch of their fur, every toss of the ball, every lick on your cheek can be remembered and relived through beautiful photographs. So many people tell me their Joy Session was invaluable in working through the grief process.
The session itself is a special day to look forward to, an opportunity to step away from “real life” for a bit and spend some one-on-one time together. You’d be amazed at how many otherwise tired and despondent dogs rally for their Joy Sessions! It’s like they know how important it is to their people.
We never know how much time we’re given
Joy Sessions® aren’t meant to capture the very last moments with your pet, but rather to celebrate your life together before that time comes. (Some of my Joy Session® clients have lived for a year or more after the photos were taken!)
I do my best to fit these in as soon as they’re needed, but if possible, I really recommend planning ahead. With more time, we’re often able to capture your pet while he’s still feeling and looking well, capturing happier memories and images you’ll treasure. And, we can schedule around the weather, helping create your best possible session.
Of course, circumstances don’t always allow us the luxury of time, and I’m happy to work with you wherever you are in your journey.
With an ailing pet, I know there can be significant expenses related to their care, so I’m happy to work with you on payment plans, and I archive all images so they’re available whenever you’re ready to make selections.
It can be difficult to admit when the end is growing near, but please don’t let fear or superstition prevent you from photographing joyful memories with your best friend. There’s no better time than now!
