A CHICAGO WEDDING BLOG - NAKAI Photography

Ava + The Lee Family

Chicago Family Photos

Things have been so busy these last couple years, I have not really blogged my family portrait sessions. I wanted to share this session I had with the Lee family last week! Ava, the girl on the right has been battling Leukemia for the past two years. I photographed this family back in 2014 after Ava had started chemotherapy. You can see those photos at the Lee Family Session 2014 blog post. It has not been easy journey by any means, but they are still fighting and persevering. I’m sure Ava is happy to see these photos with her beautiful natural hair!

For those that would like to know more about Ava’s journey and fight, you can head over to her blog (written by her Mom, Esther)  http://fortheloveofavalee.blogspot.com/ – if you wanted to support them, you can donate there or purchase any Rodan + Field’s skin care products via Esther. Also, if you are not a registered bone marrow donor, please consider signing up at Be The Match! You might be able to save a child’s life!

But for now…please enjoy these beautiful photos of the Lee family. And please lift up a prayer for them as you scroll down!
