My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer several weeks ago and went straight into chemotherapy. Her prognosis is good, which is awesome and lucky. When I told her that I was doing a summer portrait project, she said she'd pose for me. We got a lot of great images, but this one sticks out as one of my favorites.
My sister is a scientist and can tell me what the chemo is doing to her body in great detail. She likes to understand the science behind her treatment. My sister is also religious and her faith is helping her get through the hard parts of treatment. I'm impressed and amazed by her strength. I think that's why I like this photo so much. I feel like it embodies her determination to fight and win.

I always have fun taking photos – I'd stop running my own business if it wasn't fun. But there's a difference between having fun during sessions and shooting for yourself. With my Kdog shoots, I'm always concerned with what my clients want. With personal work, I can be selfish and try things even if they don't give me what I'm looking for.
Personal work also takes time – and that's usually in short supply. But this summer I decided to do a series of personal shoots. Kennedy kicks off this project. She is always a willing subject, and a great model. We shot one evening a couple of weeks ago, and came away with some great stuff.
*I'm always looking for people willing to let me photograph them. If you're between 18 & 58, and you think you might want to help me with the project, email me at [email protected], or message me on Facebook or Instagram. You don't need to be a model - just a willing subject.*
I thought I'd show some finished product samples this time -- these are framing options I mocked up in our popular Kdog frame.

I'm cheating a bit with this preview of Haley's images. I want to get final images to her as soon as possible, but I still have a lot of work to do on them. I'll post a real blog when everything is done, to show my most favorite images. But for now, here they are in Lightroom, ready to be exported into Photoshop.

It was COLD, but Andie was a trooper. We got some great photos — it was hard to pick just a few.
