{Family} Doug & Carolyn

My husband and I love this family! Carolyn and I met at college and shared the bathroom that joined our rooms. I photographed them last summer at Dundarave Beach and we were so excited that they were coming to visit again this summer. Our visits always fly by and we always wish we had more time but we are incredibly grateful for the time they take to drive out here (from Saskatchewan!) and that they make time for us.

Soon after they returned home, Carolyn texted me to say they were expecting another baby and that was so exciting to hear! She also asked how our kids were feeling because their oldest, Micah, had been getting headaches and feeling nauseous since returning home.

Ten weeks later (this past week) and we heard from Doug and Carolyn that Micah has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Today at noon (11am here in BC), Micah - 9 years old - is having surgery to remove the tumor, which shows to be attached or growing from the brain stem.

As you can see in these pictures from their session, Micah is so joyful. He has such a contagious smile and is such a great kid! This family is well-loved and supported right now, but they need as many prayers as possible.

Doug & Carolyn, we love you and your kids! Thank you for letting me do your family pictures again, and know we are praying for you. We wish we could be there to help so much more practically.
