She has a plaque on her wall that says, “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” That says it ALL. In February, Kaitlin was diagnosed with stage four Leukemia. And if you know Kaitlin, you know that she is not only dancing in the proverbial rainstorm, but she is jumping in the puddles & wearing the cutest rain boots you’ve ever seen. Kaitlin is by far the most amazing, beautiful & bravest 15 year old you will ever meet. I feel so lucky to have been able to photograph her during her journey. Kaitlin blogged about her experience & it brought me to tears. I am so lucky to have been able to do this photo shoot!
Kaitlin-you are such a beautiful person inside & out. I feel so lucky to have been able to capture your stunning beauty-thank you for being on of my favorite people I’ve ever photographed! I’m praying for you each & every night, girl. XOXO, marielle.
This is by far one of my favorite photographs I’ve ever taken…
Never underestimate how beautiful a field filled with mosquitoes can be!
Kaitlin wanted me to photograph her scarves because they’ve become a big part of her wardrobe…
