End of life dog photography sessions
Saying goodbye to a beloved dog is one of life’s hardest moments. These sessions are about you and your dog, your bond, and the memories you share. There’s no rush – sessions can be as short or as long as your pup needs, with a focus on comfort, connection, and care.
Urgent sessions: If you need a session quickly, get in touch with me as soon as you can and I’ll do my best to fit you in. While I can’t always guarantee availability, I’ll make it work wherever possible.
The love of a dog stays with us, alwaysWhat does End-of-Life mean?
These sessions are intended for dogs who are:
Chronically or terminally ill, including conditions where prognosis is limited.
Geriatric and showing significant age-related decline.
In the final stages of life, where quality-of-life considerations are guiding care.
Facing euthanasia in the near future.
Please note: These sessions are not for routine photoshoots, general portrait sessions, or healthy dogs. They are for moments where preserving your dog’s presence and your connection is deeply meaningful and time sensitive.

Focus on capturing your dog and your connection with them.
Sessions tailored to your dog’s needs – as short or long as required.
Full support and empathy throughout the session.

Paul M. and Cooper
“I wanted some more professional photos of Cooper (my dog) and I as he was getting old and I wanted something nice done. Em was super easy to work with and produced some really amazing photos and some awesome candids I didn't expect, which is really nice. She was lovely with old boy Cooper too and gave good direction on what me and Cooper could do to get some nice photos without asking too much of him.
My boy passed away recently and I miss him dearly. I'm glad before he went I was able to do this. It means a lot. I will be printing and framing some photos of him :)
Thank you Em for your time and the photos with me and Cooper. Also thank you for putting us into your portfolio, seeing Cooper up on the website is nice.
Highly rate Em. She is wonderful, get some photos.”
