If you’ve following my work for a while, then you know the Engels family and their story. Christi has been battling cancer for several years now. Since Kenny is one of the pastors at our church, their battle has been very public. Every Sunday, thousands of people pray for the Engels and several other families who are also battling cancer. As of right now, there is no good news. But daily…continually, we get to watch this incredible, courageous family endure everything with peace, joy, hope, laughter and love.
Along with hundreds and hundreds of other people, my family has been impacted greatly and blessed just being in close proximity to the Engels. I’m so proud of them and thankful to call them “friends”.
Please watch this slideshow to see the photos from our session!
Engels family, thank you for the honor of photographing your family. We love you and continue to stand with you in prayer!
