How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard - A.A Milne
July 2020 I had the worst experience I’ve had to endure happen, I had to lay my best friend to rest. It brought unexplainable pain and emptiness. I was blessed with a chance to say good bye, which not everyone gets and I was gifted a final photoshoot with my darling boy. This was the absolute last thing I wanted to do , but I was encouraged and I’m so thankful for that. I got a farewell captured and now I have photos to cherish and remember him by. Especially in the end, having beautiful photos to look on instead of it being full of hurt, it’s full of appreciation for all he was.
Forest, of Forestland Photography, was my beacon of light for 7 years. He continues the guild me, I wouldn’t be where I am without him. All that being said, I want to offer what I was offered to me forward, as I know first hand how impactful those photos were for me.
These sessions are charged by "pay what you can" with no minimum for the session and images. You will receive a full gallery of you and your beloved one along with a personalized gift in honour of their memory. I have done horses, dogs, even a human. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I’d love to help preserve their memory.

'When I got the news about my dogs lymphoma, my first reaction was to cry. My second reaction was to connect with Kaitlin. We had been meaning to get together for a photoshoot and it just hadn't happened, and I knew all the reasons it hadn't worked before was because she was meant to do photos of me and my girl. Kaitlin is patient and kind, and she knows how important these photos are, so she goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot. She is also gentle with your heart - knowing the right things to say, knowing when to give you space, and just truly cherishing the love you and your pet share. We giggled, we cried, and we shared some lovely moments that she caught on film. I cannot tell you how many tears I have shed looking at these beautiful photos, or how many more will be shed, but I can tell you that my walls are filled with love because of her.'

‘When Kaitlin asked if I would do an end of life session with her I was on the fence, but looking back it was the best decision I made. Kaitlin’s gentle demeanour and caring heart made a hard day a little bit easier. I am incredibly thankful to have those photos to look back on forever and she captured them with perfect elegance ‘
