Warrior Princess | Breast Cancer Fighter | Boulder City Photographer

"....heavy is the crown, 

and yet she wears it as if it were a feather:

there is strength in her heart, 

determination in her eyes

and the will to survive resides in her soul.

she is you

she is a WARRIOR

a champion

a fighter

a queen..." -rh sin

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so it is only fitting that we had this amazing opportunity to create these "before" portraits for Miss Brooke just two days before her double mastectomy. There are no words to express what an honor it is to be a part of her journey... and we can't wait for her "after" session...
