ESME, JOSH & BUDDY

For Esme and Josh, the decision to have a photographic experience came from a deep sense of gratitude for the little dog who changed their lives. Buddy, their rescue pug, hadn’t had the easiest start—moving through several homes before finding his place with them. From the moment he arrived, they knew they wanted to give him the love and stability he deserved. The experience became a way to celebrate that journey and to capture just how much he now means to them.

Like many people, it’s easy to assume there will always be time. But with Buddy, there’s an awareness that these moments are precious. The photoshoot helped them move beyond the everyday routine and recognise the importance of preserving what they have now—not just for themselves, but as something they can always look back on. It was about overcoming that feeling of “we’ll do it later” and instead choosing to celebrate the present.

Their story is one of connection and transformation. Buddy isn’t just their dog—he’s their family. He’s brought them closer together, given them purpose, and filled their lives with laughter and affection. Whether it’s being their shadow at home, encouraging them out into the world, or simply offering comfort on a difficult day, Buddy has a way of making everything feel better. He’s also had a ripple effect beyond their home, bringing joy to friends and family and reminding others of the power of companionship.

Their artwork now sits at the end of the hall near the kitchen—a place they pass through every day. It’s not tucked away; it’s part of their daily life. Every time they see it, it brings a sense of pride, love, and happiness. It’s a reminder of how far Buddy has come and the life they’ve built together.

Having this displayed has changed how their home feels. It’s no longer just a space they live in—it’s a reflection of their family. It brings warmth and personality into the house, and on busy or stressful days, it offers a moment to pause and smile.

More than anything, it’s helped them see life with a greater sense of appreciation. To notice the small moments, to feel proud of the life they’ve created together, and to recognise that sometimes the most meaningful things come from giving something—or someone—a second chance.
