As a photographer and former licensed veterinary technician in the Seattle area, I’ve spent much of my career supporting families through some of the most difficult moments with their pets. During my time in the ER and later as Lead Technician in the Oncology Department at Seattle Veterinary Specialists, I stood beside countless families as they prepared to say goodbye to their cherished companions. These experiences inspired me to offer End of Life Pet Photography, which I now call “Legacy Sessions”—a meaningful way to honor your pet and preserve the love you share.
Why End of Life Pet Photography is So Important
Losing a pet is one of life’s most heartbreaking experiences. Our furry friends are family, providing unconditional love and companionship. End of life pet photography allows you to begin the healing process even before that final goodbye. By capturing your pet in beautiful, professional portraits, you create lasting memories that can be treasured forever.
These sessions aren’t just about photos—they’re about celebrating the bond you share. Every photograph is designed to reflect your pet’s personality, spirit, and the connection between you. When you look back on these portraits, they become more than images; they are a permanent memorial, a way to honor a life well-loved.
Flexible Locations for Your Comfort
I understand that every pet is unique and every situation requires sensitivity. While I’m happy to travel anywhere in the world for an outdoor session, I also offer my private studio space in Fall City, WA. This ensures a calm, controlled environment and eliminates the stress of weather, so your pet can be themselves and you can focus on creating meaningful portraits.
A Personalized, Compassionate Experience
These sessions are designed to be as stress-free and accommodating as possible. I make every effort to fit last-minute end of life photography sessions into my schedule, while still providing my full-service experience. My goal is to help you capture the love, connection, and personality of your pet in a way that is both beautiful and healing.
It truly breaks my heart when I see families who had to say goodbye without the opportunity for professional portraits. Legacy sessions give you that chance to honor your pet’s life, preserve their memory, and begin the grieving process with something tangible to hold onto.

- Patience and understanding as you navigate this new chapter
