HAPPY BIRTHDAY OZZIE! 🥳🐾
While editing some older photographs, I came across this one of Ozzie and noticed something I hadn’t seen before. Among the bokeh surrounding him is a tiny heart shape. I didn’t create it, add it or enhance it in editing. It simply appeared when I pressed the shutter, unbeknownst to me at the time.
As I worked on bringing this image to life through my editing, that little heart became so meaningful to me. It just seemed so symbolic and perfectly fitting, as Ozzie has been one of the great loves of my life. He’s been my constant companion, my inspiration, my little shadow, and the heart behind so much of what eventually became Sunnie Days Pet Photography. So it’s not surprising to me that a heart-shaped bokeh found its way into his portrait. 💛
It also reminds me of the message that keeps me passionate about my work and has always been at the heart of Sunnie Days Pet Photography: Celebrate the love that lights up your life. The ones who love us unconditionally and leave paw prints on our hearts forever. The ones who faithfully wait for us each day and greet us at the door. The ones who make ordinary days brighter simply by being in them. For me, Ozzie is one of those loves. And seeing that little heart reminds me just how lucky I am to have shared so many years, adventures, and memories with him.
Happy Birthday to my sweet boy. You are the light of my life. ❤️🐾
