Everyone in life at one point in time has a bump in the road, and when that time comes we all have a tendency to get caught up in the emotions that that life situation has brought us and put off the things that we really want to do.  Last November Beth contacted me to do her family holiday photos again.  The previous year was so much fun with the themed holiday setup that I was excited to do them again this year for her family.  When she didn't get back to me on scheduling I was a little bummed since it's always fun doing sessions for return clients and watching the kids grow.

Since we are friends on facebook I went peaked to check in on how she was doing and only to see a post that brought tears to my eyes. Beth was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 5th.  I felt so heart broken for Beth and her family and instantly reached out to her to do a session for her and her family.  I'm was so excited that she was up for doing them.  

We didn't want to waist too much time since she was starting her chemotherapy right away.  The day for weather didn't look good.  It called for stormy rain all day.  The morning I woke up I thought please GOD, give the weather a break so we can do this session.  Beth was prepared for the rain and brought umbrellas, but just as I was getting ready to head out the door we had a break in the weather.  Thank you, for answered prayers.  The wind and cold was a little much for the kids, but it was nice not to have the rain with the mixture of the wind and cold.  Lots of hugs, snuggles, runs to the truck to get warm, Maddies favorite blanket to make the session a little more comfortable for the kids and comfort of Grandma to help out.

Beth, I will be saying lots of prayers for you along this bump in the road.  Stay strong!  You are a beautiful mom, wife, friend & daughter & sister and have a ton of support behind you.
