Kinley -- The Warrior

This weekend I had the absolute honour to shoot a session with little Kinley. He is seven months old and gone through more than most of us would in a lifetime. He certainly is a brave little man and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to spend some time with this beautiful family. Kinley was diagnosed with Leukemia several days after birth and was recently in remission only to be fighting it again. Twice in seven months, he has gone through Chemo Therapy and is now waiting to ensure that it worked for a second time.

This family is stronger than I could have ever imagined. The beads in the images, Kinley has collected from each and every procedure that he has been through. I was shocked at the number of beads.... He certainly is the Warrior the beads say he is. Such a sweet precious little boy. Kinley's mother said to me that she is so thankful for the smallest things, such as when he latches on to one of their fingers. We must all remember that life is full of tiny moments that we carry with us always.

As Kinley can not leave his room at the Hospital right now, the images were all shot in there. I look forward to another session with Kinley and his family when he is healthy and enjoying life as he should be --
