In her words: “We have been waiting for 2 1/2 years for my daughter Lila to finish chemo treatments for Leukemia and of course that happened just as the Covid-19 lock down happened. BUT I DON’T CARE! WE ARE FINISHED! She is cancer free and honestly the stay at home order has given our family time to decompress and exhale. As anyone who has had cancer knows we have had many months of quarantine when Lila’s immune system was non-existent..so we’ve got this. The Downeys are celebrating during this quarantine just in a different way then what we had ever expected.”

When we started this photo session, Jennifer explained to me that for so long, Lila didn’t have many choices. Her cancer treatment and everything that went with it HAD to be done. So now that Lila is cancer free (!!), they want her to have more of a say in her life. Lila chose not to be in this photo with her mom, but she did agree to let her arm be photographed 🙂
