A Pet is Never Truly Forgotten Until it is no Longer Remembered
— LACIE PETITTO
Looking For Lasting Memories Before They Cross The Rainbow Bridge?
From the moment they come bounding into our lives, filling it with slobbery kisses and fur, to that moment of final good-byes, pets change our lives in ways we can never even imagine and that we'll never forget. The bonds we share with them are deeper than any other and last for our entire lives, diminished not by time nor other relationships, for each is as unique as the stars.
Celebration of Life sessions (also known as End of Life Photography or Rainbow Sessions) are for families preparing to say goodbye to their beloved furry companions when time may be short. These sessions are designed to create final, beautiful memories that you can cherish forever. If you need a session urgently, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I am available to schedule same-day sessions and can meet you in your home, at a clinic, or wherever feels right for you and your pet.
As a certified Grief Coach for Pet Loss, I approach every session with the utmost respect, love, and kindness. I am here to support you not only during the session but also before and after, offering emotional support as you navigate the journey of saying goodbye. Your companion’s legacy deserves to be honored with care, and I am deeply committed to being there for you every step of the way.
Saying goodbye to a beloved companion is one of the most difficult moments we face as pet parents. It’s a time filled with love, grief, and deep reflection.

Whether you're seeking emotional support, end-of-life care, or just reassurance that you're not alone—these resources are here for you.
Because love doesn’t end with goodbye.
