Capturing Love: A Family Photography Session with Tilly the Rescue Dog

In the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to let time slip away without capturing the moments that matter most. For Erin and Jon, this realization hit home—they hadn’t taken any family photos since their wedding, and they had never had professional portraits with their beloved rescue dog, Tilly. Wanting to preserve these special moments, they decided it was time to book a Chicago pet and family photography session to celebrate their love and the bond they share with Tilly.

Why Family Photography Matters

Every family has a unique story, and professional photography is a way to freeze these cherished moments in time. Erin and Jon’s session wasn’t just about taking pictures—it was about capturing the laughter, connection, and pure joy that comes with having a four-legged family member.

During their family portrait session, Tilly brought endless personality to every shot—wagging her tail, stealing the spotlight, and filling the room with love. The result? A stunning collection of heartfelt images that perfectly captured their journey together—not just as a couple but as a complete family, dog included.

A Timeless Investment in Family Memories

The best time to capture your family’s story is now—before the years pass too quickly. Whether it’s been a decade since your last family portrait or you’ve never had professional photos with your pet, a Chicago pet and family photography session ensures that your memories are beautifully preserved for years to come.

📸 Don’t wait to celebrate your family’s love! Whether you’re marking a milestone or simply want to capture the everyday moments that make life so special, now is the perfect time to book your custom family portrait session.

    Chicago Pet Photographer

    Get ready with me—Chicago pet photographer & animal communicator edition.

    My mornings start with movement, intention—and coffee.Because every day, I show up for animals.The ones waiting for a home.And the ones already part of your family.

    This is how I begin.With purpose. With heart.And a whole lot of love for the animals who trust me to tell their story.

    Giving animals a voice—through connection and story.

    “Did she wait for me before she passed?”
    It’s one of the most heart-wrenching questions I receive.
    And often, the answer brings unexpected peace.
    As an animal communicator in Chicago, I help grieving pet parents reconnect—because love doesn’t disappear. It evolves.

    It’s not bad behavior. It’s communication.
    Hiding, biting, avoiding affection—your cat might be trying to tell you something.
    In a session, I translate the “why” behind their actions so you can respond with confidence and compassion.
