There’s no place more comforting than home—especially when it’s time to say goodbye. While many owners prefer to do their dog’s last day photoshoot in a beautiful park, for others an at-home end of life pet photography session makes more sense for their dog’s personality or medical condition. For Pippi the Cavachon, her EoL Session was spent in familiar places, surrounded by the love and warmth she had always known in a peaceful celebration of a life filled with joy, cuddles, and unwavering companionship.

Choosing an in-home photo shoot allowed Pippi to rest in her favorite places. She enjoyed lounging in a sunny spot on the couch, eating sugar cookies (her favorite), wandering through the back yard sniffing all the fresh spring smells, and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine on the patio swing with her people. Every moment was a quiet tribute to Pippi and the bond she shared with her family.

End-of-life photo sessions are incredibly meaningful. They honor the love, loyalty, and memories built over a lifetime together with your pet. Through tender dog and owner portraits and candid moments, we captured Pippi’s soft spirit, her soulful eyes, and the calm strength of her humans as they prepared to say their goodbyes. I’m so glad we were able to make a few last beautifully quiet memories together.

As a Columbus, Ohio pet photographer, I’m honored to offer these compassionate sessions for families facing the heartbreaking reality of losing a beloved pet. These sessions are never about sadness alone—they're about gratitude and preserving the joy of a life well-lived.
