Chevy... the very cherished cat. | Cherish Sessions

New from Tanya Villano Photography... Cherish Sessions... special, reduced-rate photo sessions for terminally ill or elderly pets. Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is so difficult. The beautiful images captured at this session will celebrate your special bond and the love you share, as well as highlight all those details you love about your pet... those long whiskers, velvet ears, wrinkly noses, gangly legs and perky tails. 

The following video is from the first "official" Cherish Session. 

Once upon a time, "T" surprised "R" with a special college graduation gift... Chevy the Cat. Sixteen years have passed... the little family of three has grown... a beautiful home, beautiful children... lots of love and memories. Now the family is preparing to say goodbye to Chevy. On the outside, he seems comfortable and even a little playful... but on the inside, his kidneys aren't keeping up anymore. As sad as this is, I am honored that this family asked me to come and share such personal time with them. When I sent "R" this video preview, she responded "Your e-mail couldn't have come at a better time...Chevy has been really sick this weekend and I think he will be gone in the next few days. I am so grateful to have these photos, you captured so many of his facial expressions as well as one of my favorite things about him - his whiskers!"
