Last week I had the pleasure of photographing beautiful Calen and his family as part of my angel babies program. Seven-year old Calen is a special needs child and cognitively delayed. According to his mother, Robyn, he is a "mystery man"... having never been specifically diagnosed after visits to many different doctors and hospitals since infancy.
.
Calen suffers from frequent ear infections and fevers. He was recently diagnosed with an immune deficiency disorder. His illnesses come on suddenly and hard. In fact, late in the evening following our photo session, Calen's family rushed him to the hospital emergency room where it was discovered he had pneumonia and would have to spend the night. Just like that!
What struck me most about Calen and his family were the deep love they share and the never-ending smiles! They consider themselves blessed.
.I learned today that Calen speaks only a few words such as "bubbles" and "hi". The beauty of these family photographs is that no words need be said.
The images below say it all...
Thank you Robyn, Josh, Jostin (who opened and closed gates and held my camera while I drove) and Calen for a beautiful experience.
