As a family photographer, I have the privilege of witnessing the unique dynamics and cherished moments within each family I work with. Recently, I had the honor of capturing the Pettie family's celebration of life session for their beloved furry member, Remy. Remy, an 11.5-year-old border collie lab mix (with a hint of hound and possibly pitbull), stole not only their hearts but mine as well with her vibrant personality and unwavering love.
The Pettie family welcomed Remy into their home when she was just a three-month-old puppy, marking the beginning of a beautiful journey together. From the moment I stepped into their yard, Remy greeted me with wagging tail and eager eyes, ready to embark on our photography adventure. Despite her usual anxiety around strangers, Remy quickly warmed up to me, showcasing her sweet and affectionate nature.
During our session, it became abundantly clear just how deeply Remy was cherished by her family. She shared a special bond with her three-year-old human sister, their daily treat rituals serving as a testament to their friendship. Remy's love for treats was evident, her eyes lighting up at the promise of an extra snack. And who could forget her penchant for chewing and chasing sticks, embodying the joy and playfulness of a true canine companion?
As we captured precious moments together, the Pettie family shared stories of their beloved Remy, including a humorous anecdote about her infamous chicken-eating escapade as a mischievous puppy. Despite the challenges they faced, Remy remained a source of comfort and joy, her silly antics bringing laughter and light into their lives.
However, amidst the laughter and joy, there was also a bittersweet reminder of Remy's declining health. Facing a difficult diagnosis, the Pettie family chose to commemorate their cherished moments with Remy through a celebration of life photo session. It was a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of treasuring every moment spent with our beloved pets.
I pray that these photos will serve as a source of comfort and joy during the times when Remy can no longer be there in person to brighten your days. Thank you for entrusting me with the opportunity to meet your wonderful dog and to capture the love and bond that you share with her. It has been an honor to witness the beauty of your relationship and to preserve these precious moments for you to cherish forever.
