At this point, it’s almost funny how behind I always am at blogging. I don’t do it on purpose, I swear! I’ve just got lots to do and puppies to pet, and high fives to give!
But back to business. This shoot will forever be a very special one to me and a reminder of how quickly life can change. In 2015 I photographed a wedding for a lovely couple, Myra and Alex. Since their amazing day, I’ve photographed both of their families several times and kept in touch with them over social media. In February Joan, Alex’s mother contacted me to tell me the scary news that she had breast cancer, but that it was ok, she wanted to take some empowering photos to show that you can be strong, and happy even while going through something terrible. I was immediately touched and knew I would absolutely do this shoot and I wouldn’t take a penny for it. It was a while after that that we got to taking the pictures, cancer treatments zapped her energy and life got in the way. But the timing ended up being just right, we were able to meet up on her birthday just days after her last cancer treatment. What an amazing day to celebrate and to remember forever!
