I mentioned a few days ago that I was really looking forward to a VERY meaningful photo shoot. Really my 1st ever, REAL shoot. One w/ actual people who aren't Jax. Unfortunately it didn't pan out, at least not yet. I'll try to make this as short as I can...
Our WONDERFUL next door neighbor & close friend has terminal Leukemia. By terminal the Dr.'s gave him maybe a week... that was 5 days ago. His name is Chuck(aka Chuckles), & is LOVED by all. You can't not adore him. He is a husband, father, grandfather, friend, Vietnam Vet, neighborhood hero/flirt. His sweet family asked me if I could take their final family pictures together, & even his portrait for the newspaper. I was/am beyond honored. We had to cancel do to him, well... basically not having the strength to even get out of bed. That was Monday, Memorial Day, of all days. We thought he might not make it through the night, the next day he was up & out of bed! I'm really hoping we will be able to take the photos soon. I do know that no matter where my photography journey will hopefully take me... there will never be photographs that will mean as much as these would. I just want so badly to give his beautiful family something to remember their AMAZING Chuck.
Sooo... this leads me here, to these photos. These were taken behind our houses, where I hope to take Chuck's family pictures. I walked up there a while back to scope it out for the session, & met the gorgeous little girl you will see below. Her name is Raegan, & she also lives down the street from us. This was her very 1st day riding her bike w/out training wheels & her dad asked if I could take a few photos for them. Uhmmm... yes please! Then a million more shots followed... as you will also see, I think Jax was just a little smitten w/ Miss Raegan! Btw, she has the prettiest darn eyes, & was the perfect subject. Hope you'll see her again soon!
Meet Raegan. (& you know Jax)
