Courageous!

Courageous is defined as possessing or characterized by courage, being brave! Truthfully there are so many courageous people out there, but none are as courageous as those who face cancer or terminal illnesses or the loss of a child. 

Those of you who know myself and my husband know that we work with youth at our church. One of our youth's brother, Landon was diagnosed with  Leukemia. This hit all of us like a ton of bricks. I have never seen anyone as brave, courageous, and so full of life, never giving up! Sadly Leukemia took Landon's life. Landon was only 12!

At one of the benefits for Landon, I was introduced to Heather and Bryson, from Bryson's Fuel! Please click the link and visit their website and see what wonderful things they are doing to help families who suffer from childhood cancer. AMAZING!!!!

Now I know I need to stop rambling and explain what exactly the COURAGEOUS program is. I've always felt so blessed with this gift called Photography, that I know only God could have given me the ability to do. With that being said, I want to pay it forward, give back, so my love and support through my business. Having cancer, or other illnesses is costly and often the family cannot afford to have family portraits! We want every family to have memories that will last a life time.
