An intimate portrait session capturimg the essence of a dear friend’s terminally ill cat. It was a lovely and quiet day to capture Kiekie living out his days in the wild nature of an urban homestead.

Kiekie passed away within the following weeks of this session. KieKie’s best friend wrote, “Rest in peace, Kiekie my lovely friend. Aww, to hell with that… May you go on many wild adventures.”
