This beautiful family came to me to get updated family portraits with their old man dog, Rueger. He was recently diagnosed with mouth cancer and didn’t have long to live. He was their first baby and a huge part of their family. They wanted time to stand still during this time of their lives, forever. So that is what we did. What a perfect evening we had. All great moods, great weather, beautiful backdrop. It really was a great night to capture and celebrate with Rueger.

Rueger has held on the last time I asked. I pray his last days are wonderful with his family. I know his family is just showering him with extra loves. BIG thank you to the Steenkolk family for allowing me to capture their memories and relationships! I loved our time together. I can’t wait to hang your portraits on your walls!
