WHAT WE DO

Offering free photo shoots to cancer survivors and beloved cancer pets, capturing their resilience and beauty. 

“The magic hour” is a term photographers use to describe the warm yellow light that highlights the morning and evening of each day. Photos taken during the magic hour are particularly beautiful. We bring that same spirit of warmth, joy, and beauty to our photo shoots, sharing magical moments together.
