15 Years | Love for All

Love is Watching Someone Die {by Marc James}

February 14, 2012 in Personal

I know with a title like that you may be wondering what this post is even going to be about and why am I posting it on Valentines Day. Well a week ago I had the pleasure of shooting a Celebration of Life party for Marylou Kenrick. Marylou was 68 years old and for the past 2 years she had been courageously battling cancer. I was lucky enough to be with her friends and family as they gathered in Stillwater, MN to celebrate the wonderful life she had lead. The day was filled with tears of joy and pain alike, and though it was clear the Mary Lou only had so much time left, it was apparent the impact that she made on everyone's life. 4 Days ago around midnight Marylou took her final breathe with her family by her side, so this is for you Marylou, we all love you

It's those little moments on the big day. For @rivetsandroses photographer @tksloane, photography allows her to give people the gift of being seen, of being met where they're at in a moment.
