Gizmo is her small Papillon and her inspiration. After being diagnosed with a kidney disease and going through difficult treatments he continued each day full of happiness and joy. Gizmo crossed the rainbow bridge in August, but still continues to be the inspiration and the face of Cristina's Pawfect Photography.
