Hi Jim,

I am sorry that Rowdy is ill. I hope that the time he has left is as pain-free as possible. I completely agree with you about how hard it is to photograph your loved one when it feels like the end. There are so many dynamics attached to the photo session that make it different than when you are photographing someone else's. The irony is that I am sure that much of your business, like mine, is made up of families where the pet is at the end of their life.

I was about to share my own experience with Four Legged James when he was sick, but I don't want to take the focus from Rowdy. To make a long story short, it is a hard job that you took on...one that I also struggled with when the rubber hit the road. As another thought, have you considered asking a colleague that you trust to try a session if it is too much emotionally?

James
