I have attempted so many a time to write this blog post, but with every keystroke I find myself fading further away from what I need to say. There is a time where only a photograph can convey what the hands and mouth cannot. Cheyenne’s family has given me their blessing to share with you these photographs. Please feel no obligation to comment, but if you would like to leave a message of encouragement to her and her family I am certain they would be very appreciative of the time you took to share your heart. I spent 40 minutes of Father’s Day with Cheyenne and her family. But that 40 minutes will stay with me a lifetime.
My heart breaks as I look at these images….may God give you strength to endure this most difficult time of your life. I will be praying…
Cheyanne is such a beautiful girl. I find it weird sometimes that the things we THINK make us pretty, when those distractions are gone, we find a beauty far greater, Both in physical and soul. Her jawline and cheekbones are amazing, like art! Her hands too, like in photo 6 – so expressive and elegant =)
You can tell she is a fighter and has a very strong soul! Beautiful images that she and her family will cherish. Beks, you’re ta,ent for photography and writing never ceases to amaze me. You are an old soul and young at heart!
Whew…I thought I’d leave some really deep message full of wisdom…but all I can say is what a beautiful angel. How wonderfully grateful I am to be able to “see” these images…lovely. Love and strength to you.
With tears I must agree completely with Katy G. My words exactly. Bless you sweet child. xxx
Cheyenne, you are a beautiful girl and I am so happy to have met you during this photo shoot! You are the strongest person I think I have ever met, God bless you!
Her spirit is so evident and MAGNIFICENT!!! What a beautiful girl. Cheyenne, you are an obvious blessing to your adoring family but also to every person who has had the privilege of seeing you through these images. Thank you for allowing us to share your story. Love and blessings. ~Dawn McCarthy
She is so beautiful. I pray that God continues to be with her and her family during this tough time. God bless!

Stay strong beautiful girl xo
Too often we find ourselves wrapped up in our own worlds, life gets busy, we coast – and let life slip by. As I look at your beautiful pictures, it reminds me of how precious life really is. Thank you for letting us into your world….and reminding me to stop and smell the roses
