You want a way to hold onto the memories
A Moment to Pause – To Remember, To Reflect, To Just Be With Them
In the hustle of our busy lives, it’s easy to take for granted all the little moments we share.
The way they greet us every time we come home like we’re returning from a from an odyssey even if we’re just coming back from getting the mail.
That soft sigh and little settle in wiggle when they join us on “their” spot on the couch.
The simple acts of holding them close, petting their fur, or gently holding their paw.
It all becomes incredibly valuable as we realize the pages we have left are shorter than the pages we’ve already turned.
In those moments, we want to gather every memory, every precious moment, every cherished toy to hold onto just a little bit longer. Without photos, memories fade. Faces blur. The moments you swore you’d never forget soften into the haze of time.
Some moments are too important to let slip away.
When your dog is nearing the end of their journey, you want a way to hold on.
You’re not alone. I’ve been there too, holding my dog close, begging for another year, another season, another day. Wishing I could freeze every look, every snuggle, every perfect imperfection.
An end-of-life photography session is about acknowledging the relationship, so you can carry it with you always. Because their story deserves to be told.
“My boys were getting older and had a few health scares. I had talked about doing photos for a few years, but…
I was most worried about my boys behaving and being able to sit still.
I know you promised 1000 times that they were behaved and that we for sure got some good shots – but, I was still worried after my boys were so chaotic during the shoot.
Once I saw the photos though, I was absolutely floored – they were perfect.
I love the album – it’s such a beautiful keepsake of my boys that I proudly show to anyone who walks through our front door.”
— Barkington & Neville’s Mom, Atlanta, GA
You have a chance to honor their life, their loyalty, and their love.
What to Expect During Your End-of-Life Session
I understand how delicate this time is. Sessions are designed to be peaceful, patient, and completely guided by your dog’s comfort.
Here's what you can expect:
Flexible Scheduling: I prioritize end-of-life sessions to make sure you don't have to wait.
A Calm, Gentle Approach: We move at your dog’s pace, honoring what they need.
Emotional Support: I've walked this path too. You're not just a client — you're someone I'm honored to support. I am here to witness and acknowledge the relationship you share with your dog.
A Professional Experience: With more that 10 years working with pets & their people I promise to deliver images you’ll love and artwork that will last a lifetime. And as a Certified Pet Loss Grief Specialist, I understand not only the importance of capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments, but the complexity of emotions that come with them.
Considerate Image Delivery: Everyone processes their grief differently. I understand that some may want to see the their images right away, while others may need more time. When you’re ready – I will be too.
This isn’t just snapshots. This is a love letter.
A way to say, "You were here. You mattered. You are loved beyond words."
And long after you’ve said goodbye, you’ll have a way to say "I remember you" every single day.
It’s better to schedule your session a day too early, than one day too late
These sessions are about capturing the relationships, the joy you have shared, not solely focusing on the farewell.
It’s wonderful to capture these moments when your dog can still enjoy their favorite things. Don’t wait until the end – it’s never “too early”.

After losing our 14 year old Husky mix earlier in the year and not having “professional” photos of her and I knew we had to take advantage.
Two huskies can be hard to handle, especially in public!
Courtney made us feel comfortable with the environment and the cadence of the shoot. We never felt rushed and we able to make sure everyone was secure and safe throughout our time with her.

MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I have one goal: to create the kind of meaningful artwork I wish I had of the pets who shaped my life. My heart has always belonged to the ones with four legs.
I’m Courtney – dog mom, horse girl, Atlanta based professional pet photographer, animal rescuer, & official crazy dog lady of the family.
I believe the best art starts with real connection.
I believe your home should reflect your heart—and your dog is a huge part of it.
I believe photos belong in your hands and on your walls, not just on your phone.
Over the last 10 years, I’ve been incredibly honored to take home international awards like:
International Pet Photographer Silver Award
Silver & Bronze Awards at the Portrait Masters
Multiple Top 10 & Top 20 placements in the Embark & Emerge Pet Photography Challenges.
But the real achievements? When my clients say, “This is everything I never knew I needed.”
I know trusting someone with your dog’s story is a big deal.
That's why every part of your experience—from your first email to the moment you hold your finished artwork—feels easy, supportive, and celebratory.
Your dog is never expected to be perfect. They’re expected to be themselves—and that’s exactly who I photograph.
This is dog photography designed for you.

“But, my dog would NEVER sit still for photos!”
And other Frequently Asked Questions
-
YES! And even better, you’ll get both — digital files AND art. Because you DESERVE both!
You don’t smile every time you walk pass that drawer of CDs, but you absolutely do when you walk pass your dog’s photo on the wall. Flipping the pages of your album you can feel his soft furry body while you snuggled in the grass. Your hands remember how warm his fur was after an afternoon in the sunshine. This is what physical artwork can do that digital just cannot.
Don’t get me wrong, I love digital files too. I want the home screen on my phone to be my dog and I want to share her adorable photos all over social media.
That’s why collections include high resolution digital files.
-
Want to know a secret?
98% of the dogs you see on my website were wearing a leash!
Or inside a secure fence! And sometimes both!
With the magic of photoshop, I can create the off leash artwork you want while keeping your pet safe.
-
Yep!

Your reservation fee covers ALL the animals in your immediate family (including cats, horses, hedgehogs, & more) and I’d be delighted to meet them all!
-
I have one simple rule — I photograph people so long as they bring a pet too!
I encourage you to get in the photos with your dog. Even if you don’t love being photographed, most of my clients find they love images hat show their relationship. And these are the photos that become only more valuable with time.
I also photograph high school seniors, families, and children with their dogs and /or horses.
-
First, I am so sorry. Our dog’s lives are tragically short.
