Celebration of Life Session 🐾
Last week, I had the honor of doing a Celebration of Life photoshoot for a very special girl named Nyssa. Her dad, Steven, reached out with urgency as her health had started to decline and she had lost mobility in her back legs.
What really got me was when I arrived—the outside of their home was decorated for Halloween, but the inside was decorated for Christmas. They wanted to celebrate one last Christmas with her, with presents and all.
I’ll be honest, I cried while taking and editing these photos. Moments like this remind me how powerful photography can be—freezing time for families who are saying goodbye to their best friend. I’m so incredibly honored that they chose me to capture Nyssa’s story and their love for her. ❤️🐾
