Cheyenne & Butterball joined me at a local park this spring to celebrate the 13 years that they have spent together. Butterball was full of life and loved his evening out in the sunshine sniffing around and soaking up one of our first “summery” days of the year.

While we usually recommend reaching out about your session a few months in advance, we always reserve at least one session spot per month for more unexpected end of life celebration sessions.

End of life sessions can be challenging for everyone involved. This goodbye is never easy and we are committed to providing a comfortable experience for both you and your pet at this difficult stage in life.

Every pet has varying degrees of mobility near the end, so these sessions can look very different for each family. We will always meet them where they’re at: sometimes we work in your own backyard so that there is no travel, or really any mobility at all, required. Other times, our dogs are up for that one last grand adventure and we can make the trip to the beach, snowy mountains, or even just the local park.

For Butterball’s session, we were able to meet at a local park near Lebanon, Oregon that I had scouted, and we took a short walk through a few sun dappled meadows.

However we plan the session, we work to make sure your pets unique personality shines through and they’re having the most fun out of us all.
