Hollywood Beach, FL + June 2011

I’m crazy about these two! There is so much animation, love and playfulness between Lainie and JJ. We had a great time at our engagement session, although we were all sweaty (well me more so). Is it really not even summer yet? I am so honor to be documenting this special time in Lainie and Joseph’s life. During my initial meeting with Lainie and her mom, I was overcome with emotion when Lainie told me her story about being a 5-time cancer survivor. She has Li–Fraumeni syndrome, a rare disorder that greatly increases the risk of developing several types of cancer, particularly in children and young adults. She documents her amazing journey on her blog www.lifraumenilainie.com. She is truly a remarkable woman, and JJ ain’t too shabby himself . Both of them are great!! We are so excited for their big day next March!
