Shutter Hound Pet Photography | ATX

Because pets are family, too!

Celebration Sessions

Celebration sessions are pet sessions for ill or elderly pets. Few things will ever be harder than saying goodbye to your four-legged family member. I believe one last photo session to celebrate your pets life and their time with you is something pet parents will greatly appreciate and I’m proud to offer it.

These uniquely intimate sessions are a somber, but beautiful time for you and your pet that focus on your loving relationship. I will come to your home where your pet is most comfortable taking photos. I encourage you to just sit and enjoy your pet and let me capture the moments as they happen. It can be a hard and emotional time, but these photos will be cherished once the heart has had some time to heal.

I understand that typically, these sessions must be scheduled on short notice, which is completely fine. I will gladly make time for you in this difficult time.

Titan | Celebration Session

Celebration sessions always hit me right in the feels, but this one was on a whole other level! Titan’s mom, Natascha, reached out to me the day after getting the diagnosis that Titan had an inoperable spinal tumor. No undoubtedly one of the worst days of her life and I could hear the pain in […]

Tillie | Celebration Session

When Alex got ahold of me about a Celebration Session for her nearly 13-year-old German Shephard, I immediately felt drawn to them when Alex mentioned that Tillie was currently using a wheelchair. Since I have a wheelchair doggy myself, I immediately empathized with the love and patience I knew Alex had for Tillie. We had […]
