Let me introduce you to Stephanie Parrish. She is a 12 year open heart surgery survivor with a strong passion for life. Not supposed to live past the age of 9, I feel a greater appreciation for the chance to meet her and create her senior portraits. The roles were reversed in our session as her and her mom, Kathleen, were the ones that entertained me the whole time. When Kathleen asked if I would make a portrait of Stephanie with her scar, I jumped at the opportunity. We need people like Stephanie, wearing her scar proudly, reminding us just how precious life is. If you get a chance, listen to her story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTnJEdFifvY
