2018

My daughter had open heart surgery at 8 months old. For much of her childhood she was sick. As I captured this candid shot of her scar, she unconsciously put her hand up to it. I believe she is still aware of it, but uses it as a daily reminder of how far she has come and how strong she is. I realized after taking time to reflect on this image, this is an event in her past that she does not let define her present or future. I feel it makes her more determined to live life to it's fullest.
