🙏🏻Please share Talen’s story if you can.🙏🏻

We desperately need to reach as many people as possible and raise the funds needed for his next chance at treatment.

Right now, we are stuck in a terrifying limbo stage.

With talen just having received the new drug, but he cannot have another dose for another two weeks. With how aggressive his cancer is, every day matters, and we are simply praying the drug holds it back long enough.

Our next urgent step is to harvest Talen’s T cells and send them away to be manufactured for CAR-T therapy. This process can take around four weeks, and we need to fund it as quickly as possible.

We are already living on borrowed time, taking things day by day and praying the cancer does not take over again before his treatment is ready.

Please donate if you are able, but most importantly, please share. Every share could help us reach someone who can help give Talen the chance he desperately deserves. 🤍🙏🏻

Dear Cancer,

I hate you.

You arrive uninvited and you never leave cleanly. You dig in, you linger, and you change everything.

You steal time first… then sleep, peace, and stability.

You take normal life and replace it with hospital rooms, blood results, waiting games, and words families never wanted to learn.

And just when scans improve and hope quietly creeps back in — you let us breathe.
You let us believe.
Then you come back and kill the dream instead.

You don’t just attack bodies.
You attack futures.
You force strength onto children who never volunteered for a fight.

Talen is seven.

Seven.

He should be worried about school and footy, not chemo drugs and procedures. Yet he keeps fighting battles most adults would crumble under.

He wears courage like it’s normal. Like this is just another day.

It’s not.

And it’s not only the child in treatment whose world shifts.

Siblings feel it too.
They didn’t get cancer, but their childhood still changes.

They fall asleep without routines.
They adjust.
They shrink themselves so someone else can survive.

Not because they’re loved less.
But because survival comes first.

Cancer, you vandalise lives. You hollow out families. You take until there’s nothing left to give.

Moments in Motion will remain closed while I focus on Talen and our family. The road ahead is now extremely uncertain, long and we don't know what we are in for. I thank you all for being so understanding, patient and the messages checking in 🤍

I’ve been staring at this page for a long time trying to find words… and honestly, I still don’t know if I have the right ones.

I’m posting this wedding from last year because it’s one of the most breathtaking, emotional, faith-filled weddings I’ve ever witnessed. The prayer, the worship, the surrender, the love… it shook something inside me.

It reminded me why I fell in love with capturing moments in the first place. Real moments. Honest moments. The ones that don’t care if your makeup is perfect or if your voice shakes when you speak… the ones that just are.

Truth is… it’s been really hard for me to even open this page lately.

Life feels heavy. It feels uncertain. It feels unfair some days.

In a week, my son has his next PET scan. I am absolutely terrified of hearing bad news again. There’s no other way to say it.

The waiting, the unknown, the pretending to be strong when inside you feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact… it’s exhausting.

Photography has always been therapy for me. It’s always been where I pour my heart, where I process life, where I find beauty when things feel broken.

Not being able to work as much right now so I can be fully present for my little boy hurts in ways I didn’t expect… but it has also stripped everything back and reminded me just how fragile and important these moments we capture truly are.

The cuddles. The prayers. The quiet glances. The messy, imperfect, deeply human parts of life.
I’m still here… just very quiet right now. My nerves are everywhere. My heart feels stretched in a million directions.

To everyone who has messaged, checked in, waited patiently, sent prayers, or simply given me grace… thank you.

You have no idea how much that has held me together on the hard days.

Right now I’m just holding onto faith with everything I have… and praying with my whole heart that we get the news we so desperately need 🤍

This year was supposed to be different.💔

2025 was meant to be the year I found myself again – the year I grew, healed, and finally felt some calm after everything we’ve been through.

And for a moment, it felt like it might be. There was hope, plans, excitement… and it felt like maybe life was finally giving us a chance to breathe.

But life had other plans.

Somewhere along the way everything changed. I’ve felt myself slipping, losing little pieces of who I am while trying to stay strong for everyone around me.
I’ve been shaken to the core, questioning everything and struggling just to find my feet again.
This year pushed my biggest fears right in front of me.

Watching Talen face something no child ever should, hearing words no parent should ever hear… it has shattered me in ways I can’t even put into words.
People call it strength, but it hasn’t felt like strength. It’s been survival. One day at a time. One moment at a time.

As we step into 2026, we’re doing it with heavy hearts and news we prayed we would never receive.
We’re walking into the unknown – scared, exhausted, heartbroken – but we are still holding on, because our little boy deserves every bit of fight we have left.

You’ve already been so brave, little man. We’ve got you 💛💛
Whatever 2026 brings, we face it together 🤍🤍
For now, Moments in Motion will continue to be on hold until we know what the future looks like for our family and for Talen’s journey.

We’ve never been ones to ask for help, but we do have a GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden while we are both self-employed so we can focus on our family and on Talen.
If you’re able to share it, it truly means the world to us:
