As you can tell, I’ve had lots of family sessions lately. This one is of the Moore Family and I met up with them at their son’s farm in Justin, Tx. It was freezing that day but we didn’t let that stop us. I was contacted by Amanda, who works with the amazing Shari Johns at As You Wish. This session really has a special meaning, not only for me, but for the Moore family.
Amanda let me know the reason she wanted to have family pictures taken is because her dad was just diagnosed with throat cancer and she wanted some pictures before he started his radiation and chemo treatments. My heart truly goes out to this family and I keep them in my prayers everyday. I know the struggle ahead for them is going to be hard but this is such a close knit family and there relationship with God will see them through.
I really feel blessed and honored that Amanda asked me to photograph her family. Amanda has created a blog about her dad’s diagnosis and treatments. You can follow that blog if you like, http://www.papavern.blogspot.com/. I ask that you please pray for the Moore family and for Papa Vern to have a quick recovery.

Really beautiful shots. I certainly hope his treatment goes well so that they can have another shoot after he’s in the clear

That boy just lights up the camera-love it! And okay, I must tell you, I got teary eyed at the black and white hand holding shots-beautiful.

[...] Back in January, I photographed the Moore Family because Papa Vern had been diagnosed with throat cancer and they wanted a family picture before the chemo started. (Click here to see that blog post) [...]
