I have been blessed time and again as a photographer. Every birth, newborn, family, high school senior, business headshot, branding photos, weddings, etc. These are all amazing milestones in ones life and I feel honored to have been the one chosen to capture these moments for the amazing clients/friends in my life. My job blesses me day in and day out, but there is another great blessing that brings me both joy and sadness...when I am asked to photograph the end of a beloved pets life. I am happy to get to know that beautiful soul and to spend time photographing the bond he or she has with their family, but sad to know they are leaving this earth and those who love them. I recently was asked to photograph the amazing Dancer with his family before he crossed over. First, I want to tell people who know about horses and their bloodlines that Dancer is the great grandson of the AMAZING Northern Dancer!!! As a girl who grew up in the industry, I knew I was photographing ROYALTY!!! His bloodline also holds Quarter Horse Racing Royalty as well...HE WAS ROYALTY PERIOD!!! But more important was the absolute beautiful and tender relationship he had with his person Dori Berean. I have truly never witnessed anything like it. I have no words, but I hope that we all can experience that unconditional love and trust at least once in our lifetime! His little person June was there to say goodbye also and the bond there was so tender. All I could think was "and though she be but little, she is fierce." June's heart was breaking, but she put on her brave face and she showed up for the tough moments. Please keep Dori, June and their family in your prayers because the hole that Dancer left behind is giant. Dancer, I was blessed to get to know you and I find comfort in the knowledge that you are running free with your friends in your brand new body...probably giving your great grandfather a run for his money!!!!

Yesterday, I was waiting for my client to change into his next outfit when a beautiful, sweet old dog came up to me and was smelling my legs and nudging me, she was pretty persistent in friending me. I decided that she could smell my dogs and knew I was an animal lover. After chatting with her momma, we found out that she was enjoying her last hour on this earth before going to the vet one last time. Mom was heartbroken and trying to give Angel (yes, that was the sweet old girls' name) one last walk in the park before she left this earth. Since I was waiting for my client, I offered to take some photos of them. We were all crying, it was heartbreaking, but after it was all said and done, it was obvious to me that Angel and God had a plan, Angel knew I was the person to take those photos and that was her one last gift to her momma for the wonderful life she had provided for her. I believe this with every fiber of my being. In the last photo, and after I had photographed my client, I went and gave Angel a kiss and hug goodbye, while I was also saying goodbye to my clients, Angel was looking at me from across the park smiling, as if she was thanking me and telling me she was happy and would be ok. I will forever cherish this moment for I know that there was divine intervention and for me to be the one that was chosen humbles me beyond comprehension. God is good. May sweet Angel Rest in Peace and be running and playing with her new, healthy body!!!
