While her puppies rest close together in soft light, Ciri stays quietly alert, still adjusting to life as a new mother. There’s a soft tension in her expression, calm, but watchful, as if already learning the balance between protection and patience. This image was captured in September 2024 using my portable studio setup in the comfort of her home. I aimed to document not just a litter of newborns, but the beginning of a bond, before the world meets her pups.
