"the pictures you have captured, mean so much to me."
Joan and Gary,
I am so glad the two of you are in our lives. Joan, your work is so meaningful to me, and you are so talented. If you had told me that we would work together many, many times at that first photo shoot with Eisenheim and Sansa, I probably wouldn't have believed it. But the pictures you have captured, mean so much to me.

IN MEMORIAM
...I find comfort knowing I have such amazing photos that I will have forever.
Dear Joan and Gary,
A few months ago, I called to ask if you could take some portraits of me and my dog, Steamer. At the time, I didn't know how much time he had left. The next day, I find myself at your studio, taking photos of Steamer and me. Your compassion for the urgency of my situation was amazing. I remember leaving the studio after many photos were taken and thinking, "Oh, that didn't go very well." On the drive home, I said to myself that she wouldn't have stopped taking photos if she didn't think she had gotten some good ones.
A week later, I went back to view all the photos, not knowing what to expect. The emotions that came out in me the moment I saw them were deep, raw emotions of the love that I had for Steamer. These emotions, I can't deny, caught me off guard. Never did I think it would stir the tears. I thought, "I'm viewing photos." It went much deeper than that. Joan, the way you captured Steamer and I made me speechless. Your empathy at the time of viewing my photos is to be commended. You have an AMAZING talent, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've had photos done in the past of Olan Mills and places like that, but never by someone with so much talent. I only wish I knew you when my kids were babies.
Well, back to the viewing. So I picked out my favorites with your excellent help and left. When I got to my car, I called my husband and couldn't stop talking about how amazing the photos turned out. I couldn't wait until I could go back and pick them up. You would have thought I was 5 again, waiting for Santa to come. When I picked up the photos again, I was just in awe over the quality and joy they would bring me. The next few days I showed everyone, I mean people I hardly even knew (I know people think I'm crazy for spending that kind of money on photos of my dog and me), but those people don’t love their dog like I do. I then repeated this whole process with "The Boys," which I look back on and laugh at (what a nightmare that was), but I was again pleasantly surprised when I viewed those photos. I again showed everyone.
Then things died down for awhile, and the books sat left unopened UNTIL I no longer had Steamer, and thats when it truly hit me how much these photos mean to me. Right now, they are very hard to look at. The pain I have is so intense, but I find comfort knowing I have such amazing photos that I will have forever. That sums up the 13 years with my four-legged little boy. Thanks, Joan and Gary, for providing that for me. Please keep in touch.
Love, Tammy
