I have a very special photography opportunity coming up this Saturday. Although I feel like with the nature of this project I could start out every post about future photo sessions that way- these children I have the opportunity to work with are more than amazing.
This Saturday I get to create some images with FOUR sisters. Three of the sisters have Cystic Fibrosis. Three. Two of them have G-tubes and one also has additional disabilities and medical conditions. They are an amazing family.
It's been awesome to get to know them and we have some fun ideas coming together.
I want to try a few new things with this shoot- particularly with lighting and portraiture. I decided to study up on Ben Shirk because even though he is an award winner and most known for his athletic images (Targeted News Service, 2018) he has some amazing skills when it comes to portraiture and I like his style.
