Rebecca was a favorite client of mine. I photographed her a couple of times along with her beautiful husky DD and her son Matt. Photographs were important to Rebecca. She had a strong passion for photographs and the memories they hold.

Last fall, Rebecca called me for a session with herself, DD, Matt and the new man in her life…Frank. Rebecca simply glowed during the session, and I remember telling her many times, just how beautiful she looked. She was surrounded by those she loved most and, hopefully, I was able to capture that in the photographs.

On December 31 – just two days ago, Rebecca passed away from pancreatic cancer. She had been battling it for a while. I still cannot believe she is gone, and when I look at the photographs below, I can only remember her smile, her laugh and her love for Matt, DD and Frank. She was a strong, successful woman and my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends in this time of unbelievable sorrow.

My absolute, hands down, most favorite photograph of all that I created of Rebecca. This was her.
