Nayana Gadde is used to caring for others, but outside of CHOP, she uses a different kind of healing touch – from behind a camera lens. Seven years ago, Gadde began photographing pets as a hobby. Today, her passion has transformed into something much deeper: capturing end-of-life portraits for pets and their families.
