  2. Take nothing Forgranted

    Cherish the day. Tomorrow isn’t promised, next week isn’t promised, but you have this very moment. This minute. This hour. Life is fleeting. It is precious. It is sacred. It is ours. I am going to embrace it. I am going to love myself and my family with every bit of my being. I am going to go forward with no regrets, no reservations. I am going to pursue what I love. I am going to strive to be better with every breath and every blink. I am going to cry hard and laugh harder. I am going to submit to humanity and God and appreciate all the blessings that have been bestowed on me. And this little girl is my inspiration.

    Jocelyn was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. We had actually planned her session well before she was diagnosed. I am so incredibly humbled and amazed at her energy and light and beautiful spirit. I came away from this session with a new appreciation of not only the gift of being able to photograph others with the unique perspective and approach I seem to have but the desire to go further and be better. To be not only a better photographer but a better person. I want to give more. I want to do more. Jocelyn and her mother have no idea what  gift they bestowed upon me this day. I am incredibly honored and rocked to my core. I will never be the same.

    A photo my husband snapped of me giving Jocelyn a piggy back ride. I love her expression. I hadn’t met her until this day but she took to me and I just absolutely adore her. She is so precious.

    Jocelyn’s mama keeps a blog for her. If you would like to follow her progress or would like to donate anything at all big or small you can find all that information right here.

    This is by no means her official blog post but I had a great response on my fan page to this session and wanted to give people the means to read a bit more and possibly help if they were interested.

    Thank you Valerie. Thank you for letting me in even for a couple hours. I owe you much more then I could ever repay you. If you ever need anything please do not hesitate. I have a feeling we are going to be fast friends. Stay strong. I am in awe of you.

    And on another note if you know of any child or have a child that is fighting cancer and would like photos I am willing to do them completely free of charge. It’s on me. Please contact me at Sarah@Myfourhensphotography.com

    Off to hug my babies.
