Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Almost 11 Months ago…
I met Brianna for the first and last time. Some may remember, she had a disease by the name of Neimann-Pick Disease, Type C. I wrote about our day at Disneyland in this post.
It’s with a heavy heart that I inform you that Brianna passed away tonight. She will be incredibly missed by her loving parents and many family members and friends.
I just made a donation in her honor at this website.
Below are my two favorite photos of Brianna and her dad Jeremy on our trip to Disneyland in January.
XOXO, M
