  3. Less than an hour before 13-year-old Abby passed, I met up with her and her mom, Katie to memorialize their great love. We had just about 15 mins to capture these memories before Dr. Jason of @lapofloveveterinaryhospice arrived- this was the quickest shoot I had ever done. Due to her condition and decline, things happened very last minute and fast. I was worried about the quality of photos I’d be able to get in that short of a period of time. The intention behind sharing the short duration of the session goes to show how pure their love is. And how effortless is way to capture SO much in such a small time. But let me tell you: even 30 seconds with these two and magic could have been captured. Within those 15 short minutes time it felt (to me) as if truly stood still while watching them. The only two beings in the world in that time were Abby and Katie. They soaked up each others love, snuggled on the side walk, and sat amongst the tulips in their yard while the set sun cast a golden light upon them. With the greatest love, comes the greatest grief. A culmination of years of friendship captured in a handful of vulnerable, raw moments. I leave you with a few words Abby’s mom shared about her: “She turned 13 the day before passing. Her favorite activities included the beach, following her nose wherever it took her, digging in the garden, treats, and belly rubs. She was kind-hearted and gentle, forgiving and just an all-around happy girl. She came to me when I was 19, and she 1.5, and stayed by my side through every up and down since. She has been my best friend and companion for the last 12 years. She fought bravely and courageously throughout a difficult battle with lar-par/golpp, in addition to renal and arthritis. But even on her last of days, she spent it running on the beach. Her body may have been failing her, but her spirits never did. “ Thank you for sharing this time with me, Abby and Katie. 🧡 #endoflifepetphotography #thetillyproject
