A Heartfelt Session Celebrating An Unbreakable Bond

The love between Vidhi and Layla is the kind that sticks with you long after the session is over. Layla, a sweet senior pup adopted by Vidhi, greeted me in their backyard with a cautious heart that quickly turned warm. It was beautiful to watch Layla ease into the session, leaning onto Vidhi with so much love and trust.

Layla’s gentle eyes and soft fur made every frame a joy. Vidhi shared how adopting Layla changed both of their lives. Now they spend their days exploring trails, scaling mountains, and chasing new adventures side by side. Layla might be older, but she’s still up for every trek and I could see how proud Vidhi is of her best friend!

The second part of our session took us just a block away, where Vidhi changed outfits and pulled out an heirloom necklace and earrings passed down through her family. The necklace found its perfect place around Layla’s fluffy neck, while Vidhi wore the earrings. Photographing this moment—knowing how much it meant to Vidhi—felt like a privilege. The jewelry truly felt as if it were a symbol of the love and legacy Vidhi wanted to celebrate with Layla.

Capturing these two in their element reminded me why I love what I do.. telling stories that are tender and real.

I still light up every time I see Vidhi’s updates of her and Layla adventuring together—hiking new trails, conquering new heights, and just soaking up life. Watching them continue their journey makes my heart so full!!
