The grass was waist high, the sun was just coming over the mountain and the mosquitos were swarming. “Be careful about the mosquitos.” I warned.
“Oh, I am not worried about the mosquitos, they never touch Daphne. I think they can smell the chemo,” replied her mom. “Look Daphne, here’s a lady bug. When Daphne is around we always find ladybugs.”
And that is just how Daphne is, she repels the bad and summons the beautiful. Fifteen months ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia. She has been through a lot for a little girl, but you would never know it. She is vibrant and silly and full of personality. Thanks Daphne for summoning the beauty and letting me capture it.
Thank you so much, Michelle. These pictures are beautiful. Just perfect. You were so good with Daph. And your kind words had the whole house a little choked up. Thank you.
These are beautiful images, and what a strong little girl. Praying for her and her family.
I captured a similar moment of my daughter with an umbrella like that a few weeks ago. She held it up and created a little silhouette. :0)
