Superdog!

As a self-proclaimed animal lover this shoot was amazing and bittersweet at the same time. Danny contacted me and told me about how her heart was breaking because her 4.5 year old dog baby had been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer and only had about a month to live. We settled on that coming Saturday but within a few days she called again and said that he was doing worse and we decided to do the pictures that very day. His expressive eyes and long ears won me over immediately!

There were several moments where we were both getting teary-eyed. I have animals that feel like my babies and I know how much that is magnified before actually have your own children.

The photo shoot was short and sweet and Buddy looked like quite the model in his several outfits. I know that his life is being taken away at too young of an age but I have no doubt that he has had the most loving dog mom that a pup could wish for. I hope you love the sneak peek pictures Danny:)

Hi Laura! I don't know if you got my email or not, but I want you to know that these are the most beautiful pictures ever. You absolutely captured everything that made my Buddy so wonderful. And, yes...it's all in his eyes and ears. :)

And, to let you know...my Buddy is in a better place now. He passed on Sunday, June 7th. I will always be thankful for the beautiful photos you took...thank you.
