I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news about a very special pup I’ve had the pleasure of photographing—Onyx.
In June of last year, I adopted Nala, who is Onyx's sister. During our playdates with both of them, we noticed that Onyx was struggling to breathe and would tire out quickly. Shortly after, Onyx was diagnosed with a serious heart condition that required emergency surgery for her to survive. The news was devastating, as we had already pictured Nala and Onyx growing old together (see videos below).
A New Chapter for Onyx
On February 8, she bravely underwent that surgery, and I’m happy to report that it was a complete success! Onyx is now well on her way to a full recovery, and I couldn’t be happier for her and her family.
Capturing Onyx’s puppy stage through my lens has been such a rewarding experience. Since the surgery, Onyx has regained her energy and zest for life. She’s running around, playing, and enjoying every moment—just as she deserves.
Gratitude for a Caring Community
Onyx’s recovery wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support she received from her loving family and the broader community. I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to her journey. Whether it was through donations, sharing her story, or simply keeping her in your thoughts, your support has made all the difference. The love and care that surrounded Onyx is a beautiful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together.
Looking Forward
As Onyx continues to heal and thrive, I’m looking forward to capturing even more moments of her happy, healthy life. Her story is one of resilience, hope, and the power of love—and I’m honored to have played a small part in telling it through my photography.
Thank you again to everyone who supported Onyx and her family during this journey. It’s been a heartwarming experience to witness and share.
As a San Diego photographer, having the ability to photograph your pet's journey from puppy to adulthood is a privilege.
