This beautiful session really stole my heart this holiday season…
I got a call from these sweet girl’s mamma which we did this incredible shoot a couple years ago
They were ready for another session but this time she said it was a little bit different…
They had a new little cutie pie…
and also their oldest which I got to know from before…
was in the middle of treatments for her cancer…
My eyes nearly burst into tears and it so put things into perspective…
She had a rare childhood cancer and is still in the midst of being treated in New York City…
Still when I write this it’s difficult… as a mom I can only imagine the pain that their sweet sweet family must be feeling…
Teeja’s mother and father are maybe the bravest people I know…
Their strength is so beautiful to experience…
It was probably the most powerful shoot I have ever done…
Seeing them in absolute love with their daughters and just being a family being silly and happy together was their world…
They were in my thoughts so much during the holiday… I thought about them having to spend their holiday at a hospital in another city… I thought about how Teeja must be feeling… I have so much hope for this family and know that they will be ok because of the way they played the day I had them to myself…
They are so strong and amazing!
The recovery road ahead is really hard and probably every day I think of this sweet adorable little girl…
She’s amazing!
