three lovely sisters (castle rock family photographer)
I shot Ryann’s senior photos this summer and I was so excited to do a shoot with her sisters and see her again! These ladies did such a great job not looking like they were freezing cold… because it was :)

I’ll be honest … I don’t really know how to write this one. It’s been in my drafts folder for several weeks as Sarah and I played phone tag, and it just didn’t feel quite right to post yet… so here goes the original:
Sarah and Ryan have been together for several years. They’ve known each other since high school, and when I asked them how they met, Sarah joked about following him around until he gave in and started paying attention to her :) Now they’ve fallen in love, they have an adorable puppy… and Ryan has cancer. Everywhere.
As soon as Sarah contacted me about doing a session, I just knew it was something that was absolutely essential for me to do. Ryan was in a lot of pain that day, but the images we got are sweet and real and wonderful anyway. Meeting both of these awesome people has made my life brighter. Sarah & Ryan : thank you, thank you, thank you.
As I mentioned above, I wrote this post a few weeks ago and have just been sitting on it until I got the okay from Sarah. She stopped by the studio yesterday morning to let me know, over tears and coffee, that Ryan recently passed away. We did the session at just the right time – within a few days of our shoot, he was in too much pain to leave the house. Sarah, my dear – my heart goes out to you. I know words are totally useless at a time like this, but I love you already and I can’t wait to get to know you better.
If you’d like to make a donation to Sarah & Ryan’s photography registry, please contact me directly.
If you’d like to join with me in making a donation to the American Cancer Society in Ryan’s name, just let me know.

I can’t even express how much I am moved by this – sweet Sarah, I can’t even imagine what you are going through right now! I love you for your courage and I am praying that you find comfort in your memory of Ryan and the unforgettable times you shared at this time of immeasurable loss and sadness! You are a gorgeous ray of sunshine – please keep shining in Ryan’s memory! God Bless You!
Molly, you are AMAZING and how remarkable you captured some of the last moments of this beautiful couples radiating love that even cancer couldn’t damper. You are breathtaking!

Molly, this breaks my heart. Dear Sarah, we don’t know each other, but I honor you and Ryan at this time. If I could write twenty readable paragraphs, they’d all be about you, Ryan, and the arduous road ahead. May God bless you and comfort you. And Molly, thank you for the pictures of love wrapped in beauty. What a gift.

This is such a heart wrenching blog post – very very emotional. These photos are priceless to Sarah and it’s so great that she has these photos as a wonderful memory of her and Ryan. I’m so very sorry for your loss, Sarah.

Stories like these are why I believe capturing memories through photography is an impoprtant calling. God has blessed you with that ministry. Thank you for sharing.

Ohh, wow. This one is a toughie. What a gift you were able to give her. THIS is why we’re photographers. The one of them sitting by the lake… there’s just no words. You captured it.
I just can’t imagine that loss.

I absolutely love your work! I became a fan on facebook and sort of stalk the page regularly. It’s an inspiration to me in my own photography. I’m wondering… What are your rates for senior portraits?
