This was a very tough session emotionally…and I feel honored that Brandy (my sister’s best friend) contacted me to take pictures of her family with their 5 year old dog, Marley…a few short days before he went off to heaven. They found out on Wednesday that Marley has cancer & it is aggressive and terminal. Marley is a member of their family…their first baby…he will be so dearly missed…
You & Marley are in my prayers & will continue to be…

Great images! We had a bernese mountain dog when I was younger and she was an amazing dog! Marley was a beautiful dog — I’m sure the family is going to love these images.
Great pictures! Brandy’s my daughter and we love Marley–these shots will be great to have forever. Marley’s really kind of a gentle giant with the kids and the pictures capture that.
You did a fantastic job! I am Brandy’s older sister am so saddened to hear the news of their beloved dog. My two daughter’s adore Marley as well. I am sure that Brandy and Cameron will treasure these pictures for many more years to come. You are very talented!
That made me tear up, great pics and I’m so glad you were able to get the photo shoot in time
I’m Brandys grandmother. It breaks my heart that all of them have to go thru something so sad. Marley is a great dog and this will leave a big void in their life.
Brandy, So sorry to hear of Marley’s cancer. I know only too well what you’re going through. These loving creatures are truly members of our families – our babies, not matter how big they are, always giving with such unconditional love. I know you will miss him but treasure your pictures and smile with your memories.
These are beautiful Jess. What a beautiful keepsake for them. Breaks my heart though, I am such an animal lover.
Wow…..tears of joy and tears of extreme sadness….what a beautiful family I have. I love the pictures. Brandy’s Mom
These are beautiful, I am sure they will treasure these!!!
These pictures brought tears to my eyes. With a heavy heart I feel so bad for Cam and Brandy and the kids. I know what its like to have to put a pet down. Marley was such a cute dog and so friendly.Their not just pets, their family members. God Bless Marley in doggie heaven and much love to Cam Brandy and kids.
Jess, these touched my heart!! My prayers are with this family and Marley!
These are so beautiful, Jess. What a gift you have given Marley’s family. They will be in my thoughts.
You are really a gifted photographer, these pictures are absolutely beautiful. How wonderful for Presley and Dane to be able to remember through these their big “brother”
