New collections I'll be adding to the Etsy.com shop in a few days. :)

Turned out better than I thought and I'm pretty excited. Working on more themes this year.

So, I have to share this because everytime I work on her pictures I start crying.

When she was 8 weeks old she was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. She stopped breathing while Mom was driving and as Mom describes, "a good samaritan (her guardian angels we call them) stopped and "helped me to revive her and took us to the hospital from the side of the road. From there we took Teddy Bear air to Cooks. She stopped breathing again when we landed and was sent straight to ICU where she was diagnosed. She had major surgery the next day where they collapsed her lung and a tumor the size of a golf ball was removed from her airway. One month later, at her first post op scans, 3 more tumors had grown. Chemo started a few days later. She had 4 rounds and was given a clean bill of health right before Christmas. We had another round of scans in March and again they were clear."

Right after this photo shoot (she is now 18 months old) she had a regular scan and the tumor has returned. Here's the latest from Mom:

"(Baby Girl) had surgery to remove the tumor the day after Christmas and we got home last week from the hospital. They were able to remove the whole thing but unfortunately un-like the biopsy the rest of the tumor is not benign. We should find out Monday what the treatment plan will entail. We are very upset about the news because we had really got our hopes up that it was going to be benign.

"(Baby Girl) is getting better every day but it is going to take a while. The surgery she had broke her sternum so she is in a fair amount of pain. She is also emotionally scared from the hospital experience-she is so much older this time around. We have had some family around to help us and they will continue to be here through January."

Would you all please keep them in your prayers.

More couture sessions with my Senior girls. :) LOVED this restaurant. This is the bathroom.
