End of Life Pet Session in Portland, Maine with Giovanna + Brian

End of Life pet sessions are always difficult, but they can be full of so much joy as well! I had photographed Giovanna and Brian’s family before, so when they let me know their pup was sick and needing to be put down soon, I moved my schedule around to make a session happen. We met up at Oak Nuts Park Trail in Portland, a trail they often took her when she was feeling better. It was cold and snowy but we just walked and loved on her and there were LOTS of hugs and smiles. It felt like a true celebration of life, remembering a more youthful time for their sweet dog and making a new memory to carry forward. I offer these sessions for free so folks can have photos to remember their beloved animals by, and it’s such an honor!
