Some sessions feel a little more sacred.
Recently I had the honor of photographing for , an organization that creates joyful outings for families facing an advanced cancer diagnosis. This family already had plans to visit Wonderfeet Museum, and I had an idea to help make it extra special. With one email, the incredibly generous team at gifted them an overnight stay and dinner, turning their outing into a little mountain getaway.
I won’t share their story here - that belongs to them. But I will say this: watching them smile, sled, and soak up time together was deeply moving.
Cancer has touched my life too. I lost both of my parents to it when I was in my early twenties, two years apart. And now as a mom of little ones, being invited into a moment like this carries a weight I can’t quite put into words.
I only photograph a couple of family sessions per year and don’t really advertise them, which somehow makes it feel even more like a divine appointment that this organization found me.
I am grateful to have been a small part of a day that was about joy, presence, and love. My heart swells and breaks at the same time. 🤍
