1. Dealing for Duchenne in Austin. Amazing. Very cool night. I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. At one point, Jase I were surrounded by Texas royalty, he turned and looked at me and said “how did weeee get heeeere?!” HA! Yes, a little surreal to say the least considering we’ve only been open here in Austin for under 2 years. A lot of money was raised for a very good cause. I will say, and this is difficult for me to admit, that I felt very proud when Timmy’s slideshow played for the crowd on the big screen. I get very nervous in big crowds in general, but when it comes to people viewing my […]

I want to live.

Laura and Tim are in the fight of their lives. Every day. They are fighting to save their son. Working, looking, praying for a cure for Duchenne. Sadly, there are thousands of other families, just like them, who have a son with Duchenne, fighting the same battle. They are fighting time. And my heart aches for them.

Duchenne is fatal.

There is no cure.

But there is hope.

I knew from the moment I was asked to photograph this family that they would change me. I knew I’d learn a lot about Duchenne, something I knew very little about. I knew I’d come home and hug my children tighter, appreciate the smaller moments a little more. I knew I’d cry proofing their photos. More […]

When I went to UT a few weeks ago to photograph Timmy and his family we had a ton of fun out on the field. At one point as we were moving about, Timmy grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said “Where’s the BAND?!” Totally made me smile.

And this photo, I’m pretty sure it is the only one Timmy cared about that day. As we were taking shots on the 50 yard line, a helicopter flew over us. Like most 6 year old little boys, Timmy loves helicopters and he quickly pointed and told me to take a photo of it. I swirled around, not ready. He ran over and said “Let me see! Let me see!” […]

Timmy is back! Going to UT and photographing Timmy and his family with Mack & Sally Brown and having the run of the field was so much fun (for all of us!). But I wanted to give this family something more. I spent the afternoon today with them at their home in an effort to capture real, everyday moments of their family. Casual, fun, just being themselves, doing what they do, loving their boys, running around, exploring dirt and rocks and sticks, going for a walk, sippy cups and hugs. And I’m so glad I did, it was such a nice way to spend an afternoon. I didn’t think Timmy could steal my heart any more than he already […]
