Desiree & Robert. Lifestyle. Orange County Lifestyle Photographer.

Life and love are the purest form of God’s gift to us, no doubt. I believe love can heal and love can work miracles. When we get sick, when we grow old, or when we hurt; Love will mend our souls with a touch or a kiss and conquer over all the heartache and pain. Robert’s love for Desiree is the epitamy of this kind of powerful and unconditional heart-pounding, in sickness and in health, butterfly in your stomach kind of love. I’m pretty sure neither you nor I would have ever guessed Desiree was diagnosed with cancer unless she said mentioned it because she’s one of the most optimistic people I know. She’s gorgeous and her heart and personality seem to shine even brighter as if she has a halo around her entire body that exudes positivity. Robert and Desiree wanted this session to tell the world that they are ready to go to battle. With his hand in hers, their sweet embrace and touch will become her cancer’s kryptonite. During their session I could see why Robert adores Dez. She was there in the present, enjoying their time with one another and just being themselves. She reminded me to embrace this beautiful life no matter what the circumstances are.

I am still in awe of how strong Desiree is and how I feel so weak because I’m afraid. It seems as though every month my son and I pray for yet another person that is fighting cancer. I want to do something. I want to kick and scream. I want to yell at Cancer and punch it’s face in. I want it to tell it to got to the moon and never come back. But I can’t, so all I can do is pray and help spread some love your way so that you too will persevere and kick Cancer’s butt.

Desiree and Robert thank you for sharing your story and your love. God bless your journey!
