Do you know of a family that has been impacted by cancer in a significant way and would benefit from a free photography session?
I’d love to help you!
A little as to why I feel so passionate about giving the gift of photography back to families in my community…
My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2020 and is currently fighting her battle. She is such an amazingly strong woman and I know she will get through this.
In a way it was fortunate that I happened to be visiting mum when she was diagnosed, as I was able to support her through the initial stages as she started her fight. As a result, I know first hand the impact this has on a family. As much as you are bombarded with information, it always seems like you have so many unanswered questions. All you want to do is help, but then you feel helpless. I decided the best way was to offer to capture this part of her journey in images, so we did a session where I photographed my dad shaving her beautiful hair off. It was a difficult, emotionally charged session, but I was just so inspired by the strength that mum and dad showed. Doing this session empowered Mum to take control of the situation and fight the cancer on her terms, with the love and support of Dad. I will never forget Mum’s reaction to the images when she viewed them for the first time.
This experience has inspired me to help others going through similarly difficult times. If you know of a deserving family who you think would love this gift, please complete the form below.
