Description

Lynn Sehnert has two senior dogs, both with their own share of health and reactivity issues.
Her boy Lance has been struggling with a physical mobility problem in his shoulders and Lynn has been sleeping in the downstairs section of her house to keep him company while he stays comfortable.
She has indeed turned her life over to managing Lance's and Lili's special needs, all while she keeps her focus on the photography business inspired by her two babies, Lance and Lili Pet Photography, based in Loudon County, Virginia.
Lynn is one of the very few pet photographers I know who dedicates her business to senior dogs and end of life sessions.
She is one of those gals who is like an M&M, hard outer shell but soft on the inside. She bares her soul for us around the challenges she has faced with her dogs' care and why her heart lies in photographing senior and ill pets … even as she exists in a swirl of her own anticipatory grief, caring for Lance and Lili in their senior years.
What to listen for
2:39 Lynn's life on the road
8:11 Why she's more of a homebody now
18:21 The choice to focus on senior dogs in pet photography
25:04 How Lynn makes sessions lighter for her clients in anticipatory grief
34:09 How Lynn is managing her own anticipatory grief
Stay at the end tuned for Angela's thoughts on anticipatory grief. We would love to hear from you if you're in the anticipatory grief stage and whether you're making plans for that inevitable day. Comment on this post or drop me a note at angela@onelastnetwork.com.
