I'm a pediatric cancer nurse, so I deal with it every day of my life. I don't believe that I've become numb to it, but once something is so routine, your feelings about it are just different. This past week, I had a friend of mine call me and say that her dad has just been diagnosed with cancer for a second time. He beat it once but now it's back. While they're hopefull he'll do it again, they are being realistic that their family structure may change in the next few years.
My friend asked me if I would take their family photos as they've never had professional photos done before and would like the chance to capture the happy times before the chemo starts to make him sick again. So last night we stepped out into the desert sun and had a good time capturing genuine moments of happiness between her, her parents, and her wife. It makes me so sad that this lovely gentleman has to start fighting for his life again, and his family has to watch it happen :-( Even though I deal with cancer every day, this session was new for me and hard to think about the "what may come".
My goal for family sessions this year has been to stray away from the traditional posed sessions and incorporate much more storytelling into the sets. I think I accomplished that here although I still have more to do. I got to get more creative with different angles and points of view, but I'm happy with this set. And these are just the tip of the iceberg for this session!
This set contains 5 different locations and lighting conditions as we moved around through out the golden hour to highlight all the different kinds of light it has to offer. CC is very much welcome. I had a hard time processing so many different lighting conditions in 1 set...
