Harper
I always said my favorite things to photograph were people. But over the past couple years, I have come to realize that while I do love photographing people, ultimately, I love photographing RELATIONSHIPS between people. I love being able to catch something for people to see that normally they can only feel. Aaaand this also applies to people and their pets. I am a dog lover. You all know that. So when Jessica and Justin contacted me to do photos of them with their dog Harper, I had a huge smile on my face. Then when they told me he had cancer and potentially only a short time left, the tears rolled. Jessica and Justin: thank you for trusting me to photograph your family and your Harper during this special and very difficult time in your lives. I hope these photos help you see the love you feel for Harper and the love he feels for you. To view their slideshow, please click here.

This is so precious. You definitely are doing what you love and it shows in all of your work. Keep it up, my favorite wedding photographer. ALso, my heart goes out to this couple. You can definitely see that they are cherishing every minute they have left with their baby. I couldn’t even imagine going through losing one of my puppy babies.

Emily….what a fabulous job you did! Jessica has been a friend of mine for several years and she has always loved Harper with her entire being. When she met Justin, he fell just as much in love with Harper. Thank you for creating these beautiful images for them to always remember Harper. He is a really sweet and loving dog. Job well done!

I’m a bit behind on your blog….So I’m not a dog person (I love my cats), but I’m sitting here in tears at this post! You really do capture emotions. And these photos just radiate LOVE. What special memories you gave these lovely people.
