I have been looking forward to this session for quite some time! Ray and his family were the winners of my “Giving is Awesome” giveaway I did back in December. We’ve had to reschedule a few times due to difficult scheduling between Ray’s chemo/radiation and illnesses. Luckily we were able to schedule the session to this past weekend…which ended up being a perfect time for this family as they are in a very good place right now…and the pictures were able to show that! Ray is still undergoing chemo, but his last MRI in April came back CLEAN! God has answered many prayers!! I felt so fortunate to be able to meet them & capture their amazing spirit! You can read more about Ray’s story on his Caring Bridge page.
Ray & Michelle – It was SO wonderful meeting you & your family…I had such a fun time with you all. I hope you enjoy this little peek into your session!
