This family is very dear to me. On Sept. 6th, I received an email from Kayla that their little guy, Kort, was diagnosed with Pre-B Acute Lympocytic Leukemia. As I read her email, I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach. I can't imagine how as parents they felt when they heard this news.He has been going through chemo and other treatments for this horrible disease and I'm happy to say he is in remission. His struggle is far from over and he is still receiving chemo. When Kayla and Kent found out, they were told this would be about a 3 year process, so there is still a long road ahead.
I knew I wanted to do something, so I offered to take some photos of Mr. Kort before he lost his hair. So I spent some time with him and his family just capturing some candid moments. The following day, they decided to have his head shaved to forego the pain that is caused by the clumping and falling out.
I will continue to photograph little superman Kort throughout his battle. I just know he is going to thrive and get stronger and beat it! He is truly a trooper as are his wonderful mom and dad! Below is a pic of Kort on his new bed surrounded by all of his furry friends and holding his chemo duck. What a sweet face! Please keep this family in your prayers even if you don't know them! Thanks :)
