Ever since Kelly was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer and she lost her hair due to the chemotherapy I knew that I wanted to do some photos of her without her hair.....I also knew that it wasn't going to be easy to convince her to do it....Imagine a beautiful healthy 34 year old woman who suddenly has to lose her hair, take a bunch of medicine that wages war with her body and causes it to change and be uncomfortable....and then say hey you need to smile for some photos! :-) Well she did it and I am very grateful that she did. In a lot of ways she is more beautiful than ever to me. Her smile is contagious as other people have said, her endurance, positive attitude, and willingness to continue her fight is one of the most amazing things I have been able to witness in my life. I love her with all of my heart and soul and I am proud of her for having the courage to let me create these images of her. Because, as I told her we can look back and laugh some day and she will have a record of her struggle and fight. And she will have a reminder of the beauty she possesses that shines through no matter what!
