A dog well-loved...




I have to be honest about how much I love, LOVE photography. How fun it is for me to dream up props, locate destinations and work with teeny precious newborns, chubby babies, happy kids and loving families. Most of the work I do is happy, fun and positive. Sometimes in life, that is not the case.
Our dear family friends, the Brosius family, just lost their beloved dog, Maverick-to lymphoma. He went from a happy, healthy dog to a weak, sad dog in a matter of weeks. It was both a privilege and an honor to capture their family during his final days. It was a heart-wrenching shoot to do and to edit, because they love him so much and they are like family to me.
These are my favorite images from our evening together. We love and miss you, sweet Maverick...

Mary, Mary, quite contrary...







This sweet dolly lives across the street-can she get any cuter?!?
