Some photo sessions go beyond capturing cute faces Some photo sessions go beyond capturing cute faces and perfect lighting—they become love letters in real time. This was one of those sessions.

I recently photographed a trio of small but mighty pups: Near, a wise and gentle 4-year-old Malshi; Rem, his lively Chipoo sister at 3 years old; and Gyuvin, the tiniest and newest addition to the family—a curious and fluffy 8-month-old Pom mix with the kind of puppy energy that lights up a room. Their mom reached out for a special reason: Near, who was diagnosed with a high-grade mast cell tumor in March, is doing as well as he can post-surgery, but his prognosis is limited. The goal? To freeze this moment in time while he’s still thriving—surrounded by his pack, his person, and so much love.

This session was filled with everything I love about dogs: wagging tails, floppy ears, a bit of yapping (thanks, Gyuvin!), and plenty of treat-fueled enthusiasm. Despite the differences in age and personality, the bond between these three was undeniable. Near, ever the seasoned pro, wore his outfits with ease like he was born for the spotlight. Halloween matching costumes? This guy has experience. Rem brought the sass and sparkle, while Gyuvin gave us a bit of that chaotic puppy energy and infectious joy that only an 8-month-old can.

There was laughter, some posing chaos (as expected), and a lot of snuggling. And behind every photo was a deep, unspoken truth: the importance of holding onto now.

Sessions like these are a gentle reminder that photography isn’t just about preserving a look—it’s about honoring a life. Near may be facing a hard road ahead, but his story is far from over. These images will forever celebrate who he is: the heart of the family, the calm in the middle of the playful storm, the one who started it all.

To Near, Rem, Gyuvin, and Lea, thank you for letting me be a part of your story.

Gary, a small but mighty Chihuahua, recently faced Gary, a small but mighty Chihuahua, recently faced a tough health scare with his congestive heart failure diagnosis and ER stay. His dad wanted to commemorate their bond with a special session, capturing their time together in a way that felt natural and true to Gary’s personality—loyal, stubborn, and a little camera-shy.

Since Gary can be wary of new people and isn’t a fan of cameras, we took a patient, low-pressure approach. Giving him space and letting him stay close to his dad helped him relax. The most important shot was of the two of them together, and we captured some beautiful, genuine moments that reflect their connection.

Sessions like this remind me that photography is more than just pictures—it’s about preserving love and memories. I’m grateful to have documented this chapter of Gary’s journey and the unbreakable bond he shares with his dad. ❤️

Rin and Ippo’s mom reached out to me back in Aug Rin and Ippo’s mom reached out to me back in August to plan a December session as a Christmas gift for her husband. She wanted some photos that really showed off their personalities, and we ended up with a great mix of shots!

Rin, a German Shepherd, is all about action. She loves chasing balls and playing in the water from the hose, so we focused on getting some fun shots of her doing what she loves most. Her energy was non-stop, and it was so much fun capturing her in her element.

Ippo is the opposite—he’s way more laid-back. He preferred to lounge around for most of the session, but he did join in and play with Rin a little, which was super sweet to see. It’s always fun to capture those sibling moments!

By the end of the session, we had a great mix of photos that showed their individual personalities and a few of them together, too. I think these pictures are going to make such a special gift for their dad.

If you’ve got pets and want to capture their personalities in photos, let me know! I’d love to help create something special for you, too.
