I had the privilege of doing my first studio shots ever with my precious little cousin Benjiman (we call him Benny). Three years ago Benny was diagnosed with 5 different brain disorders and has had to have a bowel transplant, which has failed this past week. His mom wanted me to take his portraits before he had another surgery next week. He is such a trooper. I don't know many 6 year olds who have been through 7 complex surgeries and still have the love for life that he does. I captured this shot during that session, and I thought it summed up his little life. C&C Welcome. And when you pray, please remember Benny.

    Kids amaze me; their 'zest', 'gusto', courage, resiliency, and their forgiveness.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to Benny and his family as well. The power of prayer does amazing things! Two guys I know could have died, but recovered by the power of prayer of many friends. There is a young boy in our area that has some sort of rare ailment, where his body is ageing much faster than his real age. Supposedly only 1 in several million gets it. Well back in December they discovered that the main arteries going to his brain were almost blocked completely shut. In Janurary he had a stroke, and because of many people praying for him he is now OK. Just the other week he was in our store running around like nothing ever happened to him. So I firmly beleive that Benny will come through this just fine, with everyone praying for him. Just keep the faith!
