Celebration of Life Pet Portraits
You may have just received your pet's diagnosis, or the time to say goodbye is quickly approaching. I recognize the urgency that may come with your Rainbow Bridge Session, and I'll do everything I can to accommodate you. Please text or call 206-706-5731 and mention your interest in a Rainbow Bridge Session, and I'll promptly reach out to schedule a consult call.
The consult is a gentle space to talk about honoring your pet at the end of their life. You'll share what makes your pet special—their personality, expressions, and the moments you want to hold onto. My goal is to customize your shoot and create portraits that feel deeply personal, loving, and comforting.
With gentle guidance, compassion and patience, I'll capture the unique bond only you and your pet share. Your session can take place in your home or at a favorite location, and takes approximately two hours.
More than a gallery of images, this is a timeless tribute to honor the love that will remain a part of your family's story forever.
The session fee of $690 + tax includes 25 edited hi-res digital files. Basic retouching is included. You'll receive your edited hi-res digital files in a private, password protected gallery where you can view and download images. Tribute videos like Spridle's, as well as albums and framed wall art are available for an additional fee.
is a professional photographer and lifelong pet parent who understands this bond deeply, both personally and professionally. Her work is rooted in empathy, and honoring the love you share with your pet. Rainbow Bridge Portraits were created in memory of Bagel who died from cancer at only 18-months old.
There is a specific kind of silence that follows the loss of a pet. It’s the sound of a house that’s suddenly too big, and a daily routine that has nowhere to go.
I started Rainbow Bridge Sessions in honor of my Golden Retriever Bagel, who was only 18 months old when he died from cancer. He was still a puppy, and deserved to have at least ten more years of muddy paws and birthdays.
As a photographer, I realized that while we all have a thousand blurry photos of our pets on our phones, we rarely have a portrait that actually captures who they were.
I do this work because I know what it feels like to look at an empty spot on the floor and wish I had one real, beautiful image that brought Bagel back into the room. These portraits aren't just about a 'good' photo; they're about capturing the soul of the pet that you love with all your heart, but didn't get enough time with.
