Strength & Love | Washington DC Baby Photographer

Posted in Babies

Raina recently turned one and today we were blessed with a beautiful, warm day to capture her and her family.

Miss Raina is spunky, beautiful, and fun. She has a smile so infectious that you can’t help but smile right along with her.

She’s feisty, just as any redhead should be.

She is surrounded by lots and lots of friends and family that love her.

She is also battling an agressive form of brain cancer called AT/RT.

Raina is a strong little girl and I know she will fight this, she has thousands cheering for her in her corner.

Please think of and pray for Raina and her beautiful family as they embark on a journey that no parent should have to take.

Her parents keep two blogs, one with fun and adorable photos of Miss Raina here, and another about her medical treatment here. If anyone has been through this or knows someone who has, I’m sure they would love to hear from you.

Raina, I’m so honored to have met you and your loving family today, you are an awesome little girl!

I wanted to of course repeat all of what has been said before- she is just beautiful, they are just beautiful, and the story is something that unfortunately is just so ugly. You did such an amazing job capturing this little girl’s spirit…. Thank you for sharing their story with us and directing us to her blog. I am an avid follower now of not just your updates, but there’s as well!

Erin Gaeng - March 10, 2011 - 12:34 pm

I will mirror everything said prior to my comment- what a beautiful girl, what a gorgeous family, and what a sad story with what they are up against. You did such a lovely job photographing them together, and really an awesome job at capturing that little girl’s spirit. Thank you for sharing their story, I now follow not just your blog daily, but there’s as well!

Margaret - March 23, 2011 - 3:23 pm

Raina, Jason, Courtney, Sue, Jared,

We think of you often – thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs of Raina & family.

All the best with love, Margaret & Gerhard

Sharon Sheldon - March 24, 2011 - 1:39 pm

Dear Raina, Courtney and Jason,

What a joy to view these lovely family photos! I have been following Raina’s blog and your parents blog and keep you in my prayers. Stay strong and hopeful! Much love, Aunt Sharon
