Some sessions hold a special place in your heart, and my time with Maddie and her dog sibling, Cooper, is one of those unforgettable moments. Maddie’s mom reached out to me with a heavy heart, wanting to book a Rainbow Session for Maddie, who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. The purpose of a Rainbow Session is to capture the precious moments with a beloved pet whose time may be limited. It's a bittersweet opportunity to celebrate the bond between pet and owner and create lasting memories.

My journey of professional pet photography started when I worked at the Cheyenne Animal Shelter in 2010. This post shares my story of giving back to shelter and rescue organizations through photography across Wyoming and beyond.
