Client and Rescue Testimonials (updated 11/9/24)

I try to keep this page updated with some of the kind words and extended reviews I've received from clients and shelters/rescues. If you are considering a session, I am also happy to offer client references that you may contact. Just ask!

_____

Received from South Magazine: "We are so thrilled to have you and what you so beautifully and artfully photograph represented in this issue! It was our honor and thank you for all you do for those with paws (and hooves) and everything in between!"

"Thank you again for the photo shoot, and for being so patient with our crazy grumble. I did dry out & have time to get changed before my meeting that day, & everybody was snoozing in the car before I got to the interstate :) I can’t wait to see what you captured, as I know they will be magnificent!!!"

"Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your patience! We love our pups so much and we are glad that we took these pictures of them and us together. It must be rewarding for you to know how much you make people so happy. And… you are also supporting these “rescue” dogs- you make a difference!"

"They turned out soooo great!! I'm in love! Thank you, thank you!!!"

"It's going to be tough to make my selections because they are all so amazing."

"Once again, I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for us. It's been a pleasure to meet you, and I wish you all the best. Bless you for everything you do for the animals and families.'

"I am absolutely in awe over these photos! I can’t stop scrolling through them, they are truly amazing! There are SO many good ones, it’s going to be a challenge to choose what to do with them all. I am thinking I may need to do an album/coffee table book to capture a good number of them, then decide what I want to print, & how to arrange them. I didn’t think it could get any better after Lola’s photo session, but you proved me wrong! I know they are a LOT of work, but I am so happy to have so many good pics with everyone in them.  Thank you!!! These are all so stunning, you are absolutely amazing at what you do, and you truly deserve all the rewards & recognition that you’ve been receiving! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you made my day!!!!"

“You are such a gem!” Thanks again for all your help!  I never would have gotten it done without all your helpful direction.” 

"I'm going to have a really hard time narrowing it down bc there are so many PERFECT images. Seriously, I'm amazed!!!!"

"Thank you SO much for the beautiful photos! You really captured my Beethoven's essence. I'll be able to look at these images and smile with fond memories of my best friend. Thank you, thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done. I'll always be grateful for your extraordinary talent, your patience with us, and for fitting us into your schedule the day before he passed."

"We had such a good time with you and love the pics!! Too many good ones to choose from :). I can’t wait to share them!"

"It's unanimous—the photos are fabulous! Katie was absolutely thrilled with them. I took them to her at work the day I picked them up from you, and she showed them off to everyone at the coffee shop. She can't wait to get them framed and hung up. Thanks so much for everything."

"I'm so impressed with your dedication and contributions to helping animals. You are an inspiration!"

"I’ve seen what you’ve been doing and that is critical work (I work with Humane Rescue Alliance in DC and St Hubert’s in NJ with their fundraising programs). I know how important those photos and outreach are to shelters!!! You are amazing!"

"We had a great time yesterday! Winston and I both love the beach! Thank you so much for an amazing day."

"We had a very hard time narrowing down what to get - they were all so beautiful! Thank you so much!"

"Omg we love all of these!!!!!!!! We both are getting over Covid and Sharon has to go to Virginia for family stuff, but next week we will look through these and make some tough decisions lol!  They all came out great! We had so much fun with you! Hopefully we can do it again the spring, maybe bring one or two dogs to the beach lol Thank you so much and happy holidays!!!

"Our darling Bella passed to heaven on July 3 last year at 18 1/2. She is in our garden she loved so well and will always be there among the flowers. Thank you for capturing the special photos with her that I cherish now more than ever.  Much love!"

"Oh my goodness, Jeanne, they are all so beautiful! I'm going to have a hard time choosing LOL"

"We LOVE them!!! Thank you so much!!!"

"Wow I love them!! ❤ Is there a limit on how many? Looking at them again makes it really hard to choose - I'm so happy with them!"

"These pictures are absolutely wonderful ❤️❤️ Clyde is beautiful, but you brought out his handsome personality as well. We couldn't be more thrilled with what you've done for us!!"

“Thanks Jeanne!  Everyone LOVED our Christmas cards and we recommended you to a bunch of people.  They couldn't believe how well the photos of the dogs turned out and how a professional dog photographer could actually make a difference!  We appreciate all your help with these! Thanks again and Merry Christmas!”

“Seeing your newsletter, reminded me to email you. I LOVE my pictures. You did a marvelous job of capturing images of all my guys in good spirits. In your picture, they are all playfully smiling - even the pups.  Just what I was hoping for. ☺️ You’re the best.”

"I just wanted to let you know that your pictures of my Fess and Grady were a BIG hit with their mother. She loved them (cried) and was especially pleased to have pictures of the two of them as adults smiling . . . which speaks to your skill as a photographer. As we know, it was a challenge to get Fess to drop his tough guy image and smile.  Nice going!! Good fun, Great picture . . . what more could we ask for!?! Thanks for bringing your special talents over here." 

"I LOVE the pictures! Of course, I cry a little each time I look at them . I would like to get an appointment for a portrait of Dot when you have time. Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I need to get everyone done, but I'll start with the oldest."

"Thank you again for being so flexible and accommodating my schedule when we had so little time left. And what's more, coming out on a rainy holiday weekend to do so. It truly means the world to me. Gizi and I spent all day together on Monday getting snacks, going for a walk, and just hanging around, which was always her favorite thing. The vet came Monday late afternoon, and it was beautiful despite being so sad. There is a huge hole everywhere I go in the house where she used to be. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful gift of memories of her and I together."

"Hi Jeanne, first I want to tell you how incredible your work is. I LOVE the treat toss pictures and am in awe of your ability to get a great photo of my boys (Winston and Rookie) for the holiday session. Somehow, with Rookie trying to eat the Christmas balls, and Winston trying to eat your treats, you were able to take an amazing shot!" (from a holiday event guest)

 "OMG, we had a grand time. Thanks for making it happen."

"Wow!! You're ahead of schedule!!   All of us can't wait to see the photos. FYI: both boys [adult sons] told me they had a great time at the photo session. Normally these things are chores, but you made it a memorable experience. Everyone especially enjoyed the sounds you generated to get the dogs' attention."

"Oh my gosh, these are so good! Thank you!!! You work so hard and I appreciate all you do for the community! Thanks so much!"

"We all enjoyed our session with you..can't wait see the photos of us. You are a very nice and kind photographer .I'm happy we picked you to do our photos."

On receiving a quick preview: "I can see all I need to capture just how awesome these are. I know she will be absolutely thrilled and I cannot begin to express how grateful we are. You made it so incredibly easy and fun and Ziva was so calm!"

"Received and downloaded all the pictures.  And, the bonus picture that your expert eye saw...would hated to have missed out on it.  We love them SO much!! They are already on my FB page...subtle shout out to Greg's hot-ness. Overt shoutout to your greatness. Thank you so, so...so much!"

"These are fabulous as usual. The Blake collar pics made us ��. Thanks again for everything and capturing these memories for us and Clay."

"So adorable! Noelle is a goofball and you captured her perfectly! Thank you for all the work you do!!"

"Thank you! The toss panel is awesome! We love it! Thank you so much! :) "

"Thank you so very much for this! And for talking me into getting in a few pics myself. It's been quite a while since I have been in front of a camera. I loved ALL of the pictures and struggled to pick my favorites. And I cannot wait to send out the Grinch cards.

"I do not know how I will ever thank you for again capturing the true essence of Riley. I have looked at the gallery several times since you sent it over and it leaves me speechless, which is unusual for me:) I greatly appreciate the gift of your time and creativity to commemorate Riley's 15th birthday, now just 38 days away. I am making sure that he lives his best life, and as a result I am also living mine and making every minute of the time I have with him. Thank you again for being such an important part of Riley's senior years. Being able to see Riley through your lens has left an indelible impression and I will treasure it always."

"We are overwhelmed with the results. The gallery is FULL of amazing shots. I can't thank you enough."

"Thank you again for coming out in the heat and being patient with Kaw-Liga! You will definitely be my go-to for photographing my dogs and I from now on.

I’m so glad we have these photos to remember her by. We miss her so much. It was so thoughtful of you to include an extra [print] in her package. I absolutely agree that photo has so much more meaning to it now that she is gone. Thank you so much for sending us that photo. It was such a special surprise! I absolutely love how the portrait turned out. I cannot wait to have it matted and framed. Thank you so much for all of the effort and time you put into the photos of Penny. You are talented in so many ways. We are so glad we met you!"

[From a prominent local businessperson] "George loved the way you worked your camera and had everything scoped out beforehand. He's not a very patient man when it comes to taking photographs. You did a great job. I can't wait to see the photos, I know they are going to be great."

"Words cannot express how much these photos mean to me. They are truly works of art! Big hug."

• "OBSESSED!!! I love it!!!"

"I can not thank you enough for the beautiful images and memories you gave me of my dear Eloise! During such a sad and dark time, you and your camera were a ray of light, giving me images to cherish. These photos will be a constant reminder of Eloise's love and loyalty. She was a loyal and loving companion for eight short years. Thanks again."

"I love them!! Thank you again. These are images I will cherish forever."

"We really had fun and it was so great meeting you. Ripley had a blast and it felt really good to laugh. We’ve been a bit sad since learning of her condition. Also, you were SO right: she was exhausted once we got her home. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. You were so great with her. Animals are such amazing little creatures and we like them more than most people on the planet in this house."

"...You are great, I appreciate everything you have done for me. You contributed to the brand and it means a lot. The real MVP!"

"We received Dunkin’s pictures and they are beautiful! You’ve done a fabulous job. We are so happy with all of them and can’t wait to frame them, especially the portrait. Now we can display his with our other two “kids”! Thank you so much for your time and patience with us and especially Dunkin! Again, thank you so much!! We will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs a great photographer!!"

"Just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful photoshoot that you did of our little family. We had so much fun that day and were thrilled with the way the pictures came out.

"The pictures look absolutely fantastic! Your pictures are always so fabulous it makes it very hard to choose."

"I am loving the photos I have in my office since I spend more time in here than anywhere else in my home ~ whenever I'm on hold with a customer or one of my manufacturers, it's so sweet to turn my chair and look at my sweet Neville."

"Thank you for working with our super slow reaction times with these photos, we couldn't be happier with the results."

"These photographs are just wonderful!  Thank you!  The pictures of both dogs are beautiful, but it especially amazes me how you totally capture Huck (and all his moods) when he has to be the least cooperative subject you photograph!  The pictures of the two of them together are priceless..."

"Thank you so much for all that you have done for us and for Willow. It's hard to express to you how important and special the photo shoot with Willow was to us. The photos so perfectly capture Willow's personality and character. He was a one-of-a-kind dog, and you have an amazing gift that captured that in photos. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. You went out of your way to help us, and even just your kind words throughout Willow's illness, and your support after he passed was so appreciated. You have deeply impacted our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!"

"They are so beautiful.  I don't even know what to say.  They are so, so beautiful."  (from a wedding client)

"I am on a plane and it took every ounce of self control not to cry when I read your article and looked at the amazing photos you selected. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! It was such a fun experience and we will treasure the magazine and photos (I am almost done completing my list... so hard not to choose them all) forever."

"Thank you for the photos! They look beautiful and are already framed and on display :) The puzzle looks great too. I'm going to break it up and surprise the kids with it, see if they can guess the photo."

"It will be challenging for me to type anything without sounding like a rambling fool because WE LOVE THESE PICTURES SO MUCH!!!!! They are absolutely amazing and they capture Hannah and Finley's personality as well as the love we have for them."

From the Editor/Producer of a pet magazine: "Thank you as always for lending your photographic talents to the magazine. It really elevates our look to have your work in our pages."

"Well we’re just recovering from our 13” snow storm - we should’ve stayed [in Isle of Palms] another month. We just received our pictures and LOVE them. We could cover our walls with them. You take beautiful pictures. We’re looking forward to the canvases."

"We had the pleasure of meeting Jeanne through our friend, Danielle, who was thrilled with Jeanne's shots of their Frenchie, Stewart. We asked Jeanne to take pictures of our (older) Auntie and our four year old Frenchie, Artoo as a Christmas present. Jeanne is truly an outstanding photographer and kind person with an uncanny ability to grab your pet's attention and hold it for the perfect shot. The day of the shoot, Artoo was a handful and easily distracted. However, Jeanne remained calm and used an arsenal of sounds and barks to grab and hold Artoo's attention. Needless to say, Jeanne was able to CREATE, then capture Artoo's personality as well as some very tender moments with her and Auntie; we were BEYOND pleased with the proofs. Our overall experience working with Jeanne was professional, comfortable, and fun. We strongly recommend Jeanne (and already have) to anyone who has a pet they'd like to perfectly capture. Thank you for being there to preserve our memories, Jeanne. As each year goes by, we'll treasure your captures more and more."

"Ohhh Jeanne, the canvases arrived today and I love them sooooo much. They look awesome and I am blown away! You are the best! Thank you, thank you!!!"

"I love, love LOVE the prints! I've been taking my time figuring out where to hang things. It's funny - I have a bigger house, but also more windows. LOL! Thank you sooooo much!"

"The photos are AMAZING!! We LOVE them!! Thank you so much!! We have picked/marked favorites but each have over 40 so need to go through them again and compare and pick the ones we really want to do something with (no easy task because all the pictures are so good!!!). Thank you again for everything!! :)"

"OH MY GOODNESS!!!!! These are amazing!!!! We are completely in love! Brady looks like such a regal elderly man and Chris is absolutely thrilled, which was the whole point, and thank you for nailing his birthday present!"

"These are gorgeous and you captured little Reilly beautifully. Thank you! We're so excited to go through them and will get our order together this weekend."

"Sasha sends her love, you are the only person she has loved taking pictures with to this day :)." 

"I couldn't wait and checked out pictures on my phone. There are so many great ones you captured - thank you for sharing your gifts with me and my girls."

"We received the photo package in the mail the other day and we wanted to thank you for the beautiful photos! We are so happy with how they turned out and we can't wait to put them on display in our house."

"I just wanted you to know that I sit here with tears rolling down my face as I look at your Facebook pictures of those loved and lost. I am brutally aware of what's to come, the unknown is what scares me the most. When? Most of all, why? However I am eternally grateful to you for capturing those memories of my girls that can never be taken away. Always in my heart, but now a piece of art for everyone to share. Thank you Jeanne. You are a gift."

"Received both packages of our pictures late this afternoon. We love both of them. You did such a great job in capturing their little personalities and it all comes out in the pictures.We are so pleased and greatly appreciate all your hard work. Thank you so much, it was a pleasure working with you."

"These are so great!!! It's going to be difficult to choose which to get! Johnny and I have gone through then about 5 times today separately and now together. Thank you so much, Jeanne. We will get back to you soon with our order."

"I just wanted to let you know that the pictures are FABULOUS!!! They were delivered in such a nice package and they look AMAZING! I am so pleased and look forward to getting them on my wall. Thank you again!!!!"

"Oh my gosh, Jeanne!! I just love them all. You are so amazing the way you capture these moments:) I can't wait to show David and Emma. We have our work cut out for us picking what we want!!!!!Thank you so very much!"

"OMG!! I love them ALL!! Including the silly one of Jaz lol! You are so wonderful - this just made my whole week! It's gonna be SO hard to choose! Thank you for this priceless gift!"

"I used one of your photos to announce her adoption. The photos you took are so beautiful and show her in her best light!"

From a well-placed Director in the rescue community: "I've seen a lot of pet photography, more than I ever want to. And you do something special. You truly have a gift, Jeanne. Your portraits bring such magic and depth to every animal you photograph. I am always waiting for your next photos to appear."

"The book arrived!! It is my new favorite read!"

"Got the book and it looks great! I can't wait to show my Nana! She's in her 80s and misses having a dog so much. She loves when we bring our four-leggeds for a visit!"

"We LOVE them Jeanne! Thank you so much! I have no idea HOW I'm going to DECIDE!!!!"

"Just want to let you know I received Alli's prints yesterday. They all look fantastic. I can't wait to buy some nice frames and get them up. I only wish I had more wall space :-) Also, I loved the packaging with the nice gift box and ribbon. Such a nice touch. It was like Christmas all over again. Thank you again for the excellent work and personal attention!"

"These are all so AMAZING! Are you expecting us to actually choose??? OY!"

"I wanted to write and tell you how much your photos of Stella have meant to us and have helped in the last few days. The [one] is an anchor in our home. The color one of her smile keeps us balanced in times of sorrow.... Thank you again for doing this work and doing it so masterfully."

"Wow, these are unbelievable. I love love love all of the pictures of Logan's sweet face and beautiful big brown eyes, and of course, Annabelle doing her own thing! These pictures definitely represent their different personalities :) Thanks so much for everything!

"Thank you again for these beautiful photos! We can't stop looking at them!"

"I LOVE these! I am so happy with the lot. One of my biggest regrets was not having photos done with my last dog, and am so happy to have them of Lady G. She is really special to me, and I had so much fun with you. Thanks for sending these along so quickly - I couldn't believe I got them already and am so excited. I know you spent a great deal of extra time with us, which I really appreciate, and you were incredibly understanding of her (albeit well behaved) high strung personality. She is certainly an intense girl but I do love it. You were amazing to work with."

"I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!!! I don't know how on earth we are going to choose ... they are just fabulous!"

"Your photography is so much more than just the photos. The emotion you capture in your work is truly amazing. Some of the photos of older dogs brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing your gift - what a joy."

"Oh my gosh - these are AH Mazing!!! Thank you!"

"How do you capture that "something" that "essence ... that "soul"?! Your work ... well, I can't stop looking ... the eyes, the moment, the heart and just the beauty is amazing. I would like to think I am more articulate than this, but words fail me at the moment - gorgeous. Wow. A gifting - yes. Gifted is the only description I can give to your talent!"

"OH MY GOD!! I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!! I totally cried! Thank you. You captured exactly what I wanted with Mason. I also love the pictures of Cody and Ben too. I have a zillion favorites. How am I ever going to pick? You have such a gift. Thank you!"

"The photos are just absolutely great! I really appreciate all of your help. These are the best photos I've seen of all the dogs we've owned over the years. They have so much personality!"

"OMG!!! How am I going to pare this down? I tried writing down the ones that I just love and I got 55!! Thank you SOOO much! You really captured my beautiful Mandy!"

"Thank you so much for the beautiful work! Seriously, every good thing in the world should come your way."

"I LOVE these!!! If I had a ton of money, I'd order them all!"

"Hi Jeanne, I gave my husband the portrait of Elway and I yesterday and he loved it!!! He was amazed by all the photos."

"They came out so awesome. I actually teared up on several of them. You captured the beauty of everything most important to us ... our son and fur babies. Thank you so much."

"WE LOVE THE PICS!!! My goodness! I can almost make out a conversation with the ones with Tammy & Rover together! Soooo cute! I had a rough day at work and was really exhausted today. But seeing the kids and these pics made my day! Thanks so much Jeanne! Love, love, love them very much!"

Very sweet note from Tank & Diva's grandma: "I was fortunate enough to watch Jeanne work with my son's dogs. She is magical with dogs and made it fun for them for the entire two hour session. Even when they were not cooperating, she was able to just laugh and make the best of what they were doing. And did I say, she did all this pro bono? A true angel."

"Thanks, these are awesome. Phil and I love this. Madi said "I could be a model."

"James picked up the book today. It's more beautiful than I ever even could have imagined. Thank you. She was so beautiful and you captured all of her. And it really does tell a story. The spreads with her and Josie and of the three or four of us are wonderful. Thank you for encouraging us to do that."

"I got the prints and calendars today--everything looks AWESOME!!!! Thanks so much for the extra prints, now my mom won't feel left out!! Thanks again and we'll definitely stay in touch!"

"You had some amazing pictures of Buster! Thanks for such a great day."

"The pictures of my father and Molly are just too precious for words. I will treasure them always. And it's lovely to have pictures of Miss Daisy as well - you captured her softness beautifully. I cannot wait to show our pictures off!"

"My dad absolutely loved the pictures! He was so proud of his Molly. I really cannot thank you enough for the photos. You really helped me give my dad the best present he’s ever gotten – I’ve never seen him smile so proudly! You were so patient – we really do appreciate it. Thank you!"

"I love the album! Will be hard to decide how many shots to keep!"

"I love ALL of the pictures! You certainly have an amazing talent to capture a person’s spirit and personality in each shot! THANKS!"

"Thanks for a great experience and some really wonderful pictures!"

"They’re just beyond amazing. Still clicking through them repeatedly - I just can’t get over how well you captured everyone in these! Everyone I have shown these to is just gobsmacked by how awesome they are."

“I can't begin to tell you how much we love all of the pictures and how much we have enjoyed working with you. In a word...beautiful...no make that incredible...er unbelievable! The resolution of the images is fantastic and what you did with the mixture of b/w, sepia, and color was great. And your design work and layout for our book was wonderful. Lastly, thank you so much for the 16 X 20. This was so sweet of you. I went to 3 stores this weekend until I found just the right frames for the 5 X 7s. They each now reside in just the right place within our home. Every time we pass them we will remember the wonderful experience of working with you. You have an incredible talent and love for both photography and animals. We look forward to working with you again...perhaps in the spring since Julie says that you are not a winter person. Take care and thank you so much for capturing the beauty and essence of our four-legged loved ones.”

"We can’t even put into words how much we love the pictures and the book. We know we have told you this before but your pictures capture the true soul of the animals that you photograph. Even though we had seen the photos on your website we were once more blown away by the beauty of our sweet girl and the perfect setting you chose for her shots. Thank you again for making her birthday extra special this year."

"Between the tears, I thank you for the precious gift and for seeing such beauty in my best friend."

"Thank you so much for the beautiful portraits – you brought tears to my eyes."

"I just received the proofs yesterday and I LOVE them!! You do a wonderful job of capturing animals in the natural environment. Thank you again!"

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming and spending so much time with my kids, Angie and Toby. Your patience and exceptional skill are truly appreciated. They instantly warmed up and took more than a liking to you, they were in love with you. I am ever too grateful and appreciative of the spectacular photographs that you have taken. Their personality and demeanor has been captured perfectly, the pictures brought me to tears with a joy and gratitude. I will treasure these photos forever, even when they are no more, as they portray Angie and Toby's true being and personalities."

"Thank you so much. I took a peek and I am so touched by what an incredible job you did."

"I just returned this morning and was so happy to see the pictures!!! I just LOVE all of them."

"I love these pictures. I started crying when I saw Emma’s because you really captured “Emma” and her sweetness. Then I saw Huck and Merlin’s and couldn’t believe it. These pictures are a perfect presentation of each of their characteristics that I love so much about them – Emma’s sweetness, Huck’s soulful eyes and Merlin’s stoicism ... I can’t wait to see the rest."

"I took a quick look and love them all! Thank you so much. You really captured her "personality". I'll take a more serious look later today with the family, but just wanted to tell you thanks. They are gorgeous, just like my super model dog."

"The photos arrived yesterday and they are beautiful! You went above and beyond with all of the extras in the box. Bear is already enjoying his new toy. Thank you for your generosity and I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer!"

"Thanks Jeanne! I think everyone had a great time and you are so easy to work with. Obviously the dogs all were very comfortable with you!"

"Wow! Perhaps I should restate that...WOW! The pictures of Abby and Rooney are fantastic. We can't begin to tell you how pleased we are with the results. There are so many beautiful images and you did such a great job with the artwork. You have a wonderful talent and your love of photography and dogs is a joy to see. You have truly captured the essence of our two babies. There is much more that I want to say but wanted to send a quick note out to you tonight. Thank you so very much!"

"When I opened the book I immediately began crying! I LOVE IT! Every single picture and page is absolutely perfect!!! I cried the entire time I looked through it! I can't stop looking at it! It truly is awesome!"

"The shots are all so good, it was hard to pick! Can't wait to see [the book]. I thought your work was stellar!"

"Thank you for donating your time today. I really enjoyed meeting you - your love for animals is very obvious as was reflected in how my dogs reacted to you."

"We love the calendar. ... the paper is of excellent quality and the pictures, of course, are beautiful. We could not be more pleased. It is a wonderful gift that I was very pleased to present."

"Thank you for the beautiful pictures - who knew that just two short months later, one of my pups would not be here anymore. It makes these all the more special to me."

"Here, to the best of my ability, is a description of how they were received.

1. Shock: How did you do this? When did you do this? How did you manage to keep this a secret?

2. Amazement: Look at my boy! That is EXACTLY how I always picture him. Doesn't he look regal? Angus and Malcolm together! I think I'm going to die. Look at that silly grin! Look at this one! Now look at this one! But then there's this one! Malcolm, you're so handsome? Did you see these pictures of you? Did you know that you are this handsome? How did she get him to sit/pose/smile? These are just beautiful.

3. Tears: This is the best present anyone could give me. I love them all so much. The pictures are JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. Malcolm, now I can have you forever.

4. Acceptance: The next morning (like, 7AM morning,) pictures were being taken off the walls and The Malcolms were being hung.

It was THE BEST gift giving experience that I've ever had. Thank you so much."
