When Thurstian contacted me, he shared heartbreaking news. His beloved dog, Sebastian, had been diagnosed with cancer and was nearing the end of his journey.
As an end-of-life pet photographer, I understand honouring these cherished moments is important. Thurstian and his wife Madeline wanted an end-of-life pet photography session to celebrate and honour Sebastian, their loyal companion.
A Special Family and Pet Photography Session in Toronto
Though I’m based in Hamilton, Ontario, I travel to clients for meaningful sessions like this.
Thurstian and Madeline wanted their dog family photoshoot to take place both in their home and at Sebastian’s favourite park in Toronto. These locations held deep significance for them, making the session even more personal.
Capturing Memories at Home
We began the family and pet photography session in their cozy home. Sebastian, who had always been the king of the household, basked in his family's love and attention.
I captured heartfelt pet and family portraits, including individual images of Sebastian, moments with Thurstian, and tender pictures with Madeline. The family's bond was unmistakable in every frame.
Dog Portrait Photography at Sebastian’s Favourite Park
After the in-home session, we moved to Sebastian’s favourite park. This place was filled with joyful memories, and it was heartwarming to see Sebastian perk up in the familiar surroundings.
I captured beautiful pet and family portraits as they walked, played, and enjoyed being together.
Despite the circumstances, there was beauty in the love they shared.
Taking Time for Meaningful Moments
I always take my time during rainbow bridge sessions and go at the pet’s pace. It’s essential to allow for breaks and rest, ensuring the experience is as comfortable as possible.
For Sebastian, this approach allowed us to capture authentic and joyful moments without feeling rushed.
Tangible Memories to Treasure
Thurstian and Madeline chose the "Love Bug Package" to celebrate Sebastian’s life.
This package includes a sleek floatmount, beautifully matted prints, and 20 high and low-resolution images.
These tangible memories will serve as a lasting tribute to their cherished companion.
Why End-of-Life Pet Photography Matters
As an end-of-life pet photographer, I believe celebrating your pet’s life, even during difficult times, is incredibly meaningful.
These sessions honour your deep connection and create memories you can hold onto forever.
Crossing The Rainbow Bridge
I received the news that Sebastian crossed the rainbow bridge a week after our photoshoot. My heart goes to Sebastian's family and all those who loved him.
