I feel like the best way to remember someone is to celebrate them.
I lost my Mom in December of 2020 to a very rare and quickly debilitating diagnosis of Glioblastoma brain cancer. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this awful disease. So every year for her birthday, I plan to honor her memory by bringing awareness and raising donations for research and clinical trials in the fight against GBM.
Any donation above $100, you will be able to book a mini-session for you and your Mom. Yes, this includes grandmas, great grandmas, and dog-moms! Donations can be made directly to the charity - proof of donation is all that is required to book your session.
Mom, Me, and My Baby Sister on our back patio - you can see by my forced smile how happy I was to have a sister.
Me and my mom in Yosemite - photo compliments of my Dad.
My mom and my Oma (Dutch for grandma) - according to her Aunt there are always 13 drops left in the bottle of wine after the last glass.
My mom and myself - watching something very compelling on the television. If my mom's glasses don't give it away - I'm an 80s baby.
My Dad and Mom on their wedding day - my Oma made my Mom's dress by hand and my Opa (Dutch for grandpa) did all the floral arrangements.
