I was hired to come to a family’s home for a photo session with their kids and their two beautiful dogs, and they were in a hurry because one of the dogs, Ginger, had become very sick and didn’t have long to live. It was an emotional session, as you can imagine, because I was literally there to photograph Ginger’s last happy romp with the children. She was in pain, I could tell, and it took everything she had to keep going.
This was my favorite picture from the session. I wanted to capture Ginger looking at the camera, and I edited the final image to resemble an old and cherished family portrait.
