Each one of us has a deep appreciation for the companion animals who have come into our lives and left behind not just lessons learned, but sometimes profound transformations.
Incredible life changes.
Shifts in personality.
They've altered the way we see the world, the way we walk among our fellow humans.
Animals, dogs in particular, have been our loyal companions for thousands of years, and over time, humans have come to a...2023-04-2232 minThe Companions CollectiveThe Art of Talking to Animals with Nancy MelloOur guest today talks to animals.
And they talk back to her.
Nancy Mello learned early in her life that she was able to hear what animals are trying to tell us all. Their likes, their dislikes, their wants, their needs … and when they feel it's time to go.
Nancy reached out to be a guest on the podcast and share her abilities as an animal communicator and evidential medium. I told her in full disclosure that I'm a skeptic, that I may not fully believe what she does is real.

Izzie was the perfect mix of sweet and sass and resolved Victoria's fear of big dogs. They found love at first smooch.
When Izzie was diagnosed, Victoria and her husband did everything they could. They spared no expense to ensure Izzie fought her terrible diagnoses and that she was comfortable and happy.
After Izzie left Victoria's physical world, Victoria was left with the feeling she had to do something, anything.

Nicole is the lead educator at Hair of the Dog Academy, a platform that teaches pet photographers, like me, how to master our craft and launch then build our businesses.

The Companions CollectiveThe Art of Becoming a Couch PotatoThere are dogs -- Belgian Malinois, German shepherds, pointers, retrievers -- who are shipped overseas to work in several different capacities.
Many of them are bite trained.
They live in kennels, their social interactions limited to what they gain from their handlers.
Then they lose their drive to work. They don’t get to punch the clock at 65 and say, "Yo, bro, I'm out. I'm going home to get my Social Security check."
They just have to lose their will to do the job.
Then they often get discarded. Mu...2023-03-2530 minThe Companions CollectiveThe Art of Adding to the FamilyYou were my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye.
Every time I see that meme shared on Facebook, it pinches a corner of my heart.
The day we bring our puppies home is the day we start preparing to say goodbye. No, we don't live our lives like that. That would suck, wouldn't it? Constantly
thinking about the day we have to say goodbye.
Instead, we revel in the in-between. The glorious time filled with adventure and snuggles and scritches and laughs and smooches.
And then comes the silence. The time...2023-03-181h 01The Companions CollectiveThe Art of the Adventurous LifeIf there's one topic that sets my heart soaring, it's adventure.
Both of my dogs, Shep and Bella, have helped me realize the art of the adventurous life and my work at Big White Dog Photography is a tribute to every step I've taken with them.
To see dogs exploring the great outdoors is to see their most core instincts at play, to see them sniff and watch and claim their territory with their pee is to see thousands of years of coded behavior at work.

If you've had a family member fade in front of your eyes with cancer or another debilitating disease, you've experienced anticipatory grief. If you've watched your cat or pet slow down, struggle to rise to his feet and take his last walks toward the proverbial rainbow bridge, you've experienced anticipatory grief.
I didn't have a name for it until I started studying grief, so it's OK if you're unfamiliar with the term.

Freedom Focus PhotographyServing through Grief with Angela Schneider176 - I promise today's episode about end-of-life pet photography isn't as depressing as it might sound. So many of us dive into pet photography with the vision of rolling around on the ground and having some serious snuggles and giggles with happy, healthy dogs and horses and all the animals. That's what Angela Schneider thought, too, even though she had been through the agonizing loss of her beloved boy, Shep. When she noticed that one-third of her clients at Big White Dog Photography were coming to her for...2023-01-2454 minThe Companions CollectiveThe Art of Training Reactive DogsLast week, Angela interviewed professional pet photographer Kylee Doyle of Kylee Doyle Photography in Sacramento, California.
Kylee's journey in pet photography has shifted in the last several years. Since adopting an emotional Dutch shepherd named Omega, she has realized pet parents with reactive dogs may not feel confident in exposing their best fur friends to a portrait session.
She wants to change that and ensure pet parents in Northern California not only have the opportunity but also the resources to learn how to manage their little basket cases.

At the heart of those services is professional pet photography. All of the individuals who bring you this content are professional pet photographers.
Some have niched down into what is known as end of life pet photography but none of us really like that term, since it's so clinical and cold. We prefer Rainbow Sessions or Legacy Sessions or Memory Sessions.

That means it isn't always accepted by general society, and it can lead people to say inappropriate things to people in grief, be unsupportive or be entirely absent.
These are people who don't understand the depth of love we have for our pets, the profundity of our connection to our best fur friends, and the pain we experience when we lose them.
