Some photo sessions go far beyond photography. This one wasn’t about perfect lighting or poses — it was about love, loss, and the power of memory. When a couple drove two hours so I could photograph their beloved dog, Brie, I knew it would be a session I’d never forget. What followed was one of the most emotional shoots I’ve ever done — filled with tears, quiet moments, and a bond that words could never fully describe.

This is a story about a dog — but not just any dog. This is the story of Storm. He was an English Springer Spaniel born on the Isle of Skye, bred for the field, built like a tank, and gifted to me through an act of extraordinary kindness. From the day he entered my life, Storm became more than just a gundog or companion. He became part of the rhythm of my days, part of the stillness of my evenings, and part of the story that has shaped who I am.
