Some sessions carry a deep emotional weight, and Baxter's was one of those. Sweet Baxter, the Reichenbach family’s first dog together, has been battling kidney failure. When the family learned they had only a few days left with him, they reached out to me to capture the love and memories they’ve shared over the years. We scheduled the session in under 24 hours to ensure they could hold onto lasting memories of Baxter forever.


Baxter has been a special part of Emily and her husband’s lives from the very beginning. He was there when her husband proposed, by their side for their biggest life milestones, and always their loyal companion. This session was more than just a photoshoot—it was a celebration of a life filled with love and devotion.


During the session, I captured tender moments of the Reichenbach family with Baxter at their side. The bond they share was evident in every shot—the gentle touches, warm smiles, and bittersweet emotions told the story of their unwavering love for him. While saying goodbye is never easy, I’m so grateful they will have these photos as a keepsake, preserving the joy he brought into their lives.


Baxter is truly a special pup, and it was an honor to document his final moments surrounded by the family that loves him so much. These images will serve as a lasting reminder of their cherished bond and the incredible joy Baxter brought into their lives.
