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 […]

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 […]

Meet Timmy.

Timmy is bright.

And curious.

He has a big smile and an even bigger heart.

Timmy is about the sweetest thing I’ve ever met. He immediately stole my heart with his beautiful eyes and inquisitive nature.

Several years ago, Timmy was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscluar Dystrophy (DMD). What’s that? Yeah, I didn’t know either. So I started researching, and reading, and crying. As a mother of two boys, how could I have NOT known about DMD? 1 in 3,500 boys has it. Over 20,000 babies per year are born with it. And there is no cure. No cure. How can that be? The number one genetic killer of little boys. And there is no […]

A dream locations and one of the easiest 2 year olds I have ever photographed. Ever. A bit shy at first but I always love those shots too….

It didn’t take her very long though to decide I was ok….

tee-hee….I’m pretty sure Mom sees this little pout quite a bit! It was like a little present while I was downloading 😉

Once again, one of my all time favorite mommy/daughter photos…haven’t we all felt this way loving […]
