NJ Dog Mom preserves time with portraits of her beloved dogs

Precious and Honey, both sisters from the same litter, came into my life in 2015. Precious, with her thick curly fur, took after their Shih Tzu mother.  Honey, with her thin straight fur, took after their Yorkie father. Their affection and never-ending energy fill my days with love and joy. I know Precious and Honey will not be in my life forever, which is why I made the decision to have professional portraits of them. When I was online researching for a dog photographer, I came across Sonya’s website showing the “dog clients” she had photographed. I was captivated by Sonya’s ability to bring out the personality of the dog in the photo and how she was able to get the dog’s attention right on the camera. I called Sonya to discuss with her what I was looking for in a portrait, and her laid-back easy-going personality was rather evident. I made the decision to schedule the photo shoot with Sonya and I am so glad I did. Sonya did a phenomenal job getting Precious and Honey to look at the camera during the photo shoot.  She knew exactly how to bring out their personalities. The cuddle pictures with Precious and Honey wrapped in a warm blanket are priceless. The profile pictures, with the pups taken from a side view with the light shining from above onto their adorable faces, are stunning. With their perked-up ears and their cocked heads, the photos came out wonderfully. When the day comes for Precious and Honey to cross over the Rainbow Bridge, I will have these gorgeous portraits over the mantle to look at every day. The portraits of Precious and Honey are more than just a photo, they are a true masterpiece, a work of art capturing the best of my fur babies. Thank you, Sonya, for sharing your skill and talent with those of us who see our fur babies as more than just a dog, but as a member of the family. -Alison, Rockaway, New Jersey
