“D” is seven years old. He is the twin brother of my daughter’s best friend. ”D” is a joy and a miracle. He celebrated his birthday this past weekend (with his sister, of course) and rather than ask for gifts, he (and his sister) asked for donations to the Make a Wish Foundation. I have been wanting to photograph “D” and his sister for a while now so I offered a portrait session for their birthday gift. I’m so glad I had the chance. I usually only see “D” in passing during pick up or drop off at school. I’ve always thought he was a sweet boy but never knew how silly he is until our portrait session.
You see, “D” has a very serious disease called Mitochondrial Disease. He is a fighter who is facing the odds of this disease and has been winning for the past seven years. Last year, his parents were able to get him a dog of his own. You can read this article about “D” and Dory at “A Boy’s Best Friend”.
For our portrait session, we made sure to include some shots with “D” and Dory. She is such a calm and loving dog. A perfect match for such a sweet and silly boy. As you’ll see in the this sneak peek, “D” is full of smiles and loves his dog so very much.
