Daily Photo: That Memorable Glow
Sometimes, photography can seem like a hobby of just collecting images. Other times, it can have a real sense of purpose and duty. This image was one of the latter...
I was fortunate enough to catch this glowing image of my friend's dog shortly before the dog passed away. It was a very old dog and almost didn't make it to the family shoot as she had trouble standing a few weeks prior. Luckily, a couple weeks later the dog sprang back into life and was amazingly peppy on this photosession with my friend and his family of four-and-a-half. You almost couldn't tell the dog was a senior. Looking back, it was quite the emotional shoot as I know my friend (and maybe the dog) knew it was their last together. Oh man, did someone just cut onions near me?!?
Doing shoots like this remind me that I've found the right calling as a photographer.

cute dog...what is the name of your dog??
I think the dog's name was Brandy
It was a very beautiful dog. I imagine that your friend was very hurt by his loss. Greetings.
Yes, he was devastated as he got her when she was just a puppy. But at the very least, he knew the time was coming and he had a chance to prepare for her passing. I'm very proud to have been able to help him capture these memories. Thanks for your comment @pantera81

People don't realize that dogs are family members too! Glad you were able to capture this awesome shot! I'm sure your friend cherishes this image. :D
He does indeed. Thanks for your comment @mikeycolon
