Kerrianne Crane was shortlisted in Caremark’s What is Care? photography competition, which marks 20 years of the company supporting home care in communities across the UK.
Her entry, capturing her daughter Morgan cuddling their family dog Roxy, was selected from hundreds of submissions and is now representing the East of England in the national final.
Ms Crane said: “Morgan was a little girl in this photo and she’s 18 now, so this captured moment feels even more special to look back on – it shows such a loving moment between her and our dog, Roxy, who sadly isn’t with us anymore.
“I chose this photo because it’s just so warming – you can really see the love in it.
“When I think about care, the first word that comes to mind is love, and that’s what this image shows.”
The public can vote for their favourite photo now (Image: Supplied) She said she was “really happy” to be named a finalist.
The photo now forms part of a public vote to decide the overall UK winner, who will receive a £1,000 luxury getaway.
Ms Crane said: “If I win, I’d love to take my partner and our two children to Cornwall.
“We’ve never been – we’d love to see the beaches and make some memories together.”
Voting is open on Caremark’s Facebook page until 9am on September 29, 2025, with the winner announced shortly after.
Emma Scholes, director of marketing at Caremark, said: “We’ve been genuinely moved by the creativity and thoughtfulness behind so many of the entries.
“We felt that Kerrianne’s photograph stood out as a powerful reflection of what care can mean.
“It’s been inspiring to see care interpreted so personally through their lens.”
