p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Matthew & Katia (and their 600K crowdfunded cancer cure) | |
I agree completely that it's all about their love and the expressions of that love. Which, as you say, is clearly apparent on Katia's face. That's why I offered them this session for free.
Matthew is practically my age. He lives 5 minutes away from me. We went to the same high school. His wife is the cousin of one of my best friends. I could have been him. It could have been my brother.
Erika and I have been close since high school so Matthew's story really hit close to home. Nobody is prepared to hear at 25, a month after their honeymoon, that the thing standing between now and death is a $600,000 cure.
It's nothing short of miraculous that it all went so well, from the campaign going viral to the treatment eradicating the cancer. And if you read about it, you'll realize it is very cutting edge stuff (even sounds sci-fi ish to some).
I had Erika over for dinner a month ago and she told me then Mat was cancer free. I was so happy for him, I asked her if she thought her cousin might be interested in a photo session. It's fall and my wedding season is over so I had the time. I got in touch with Kat on Facebook spontaneously. Introduced myself, she said yes immediately.
We hadn't met before today, but it clicked from the start. They weren't nervous at all. Katia especially was really excited, so that motivated me.
