The
venture all began when Scout's grandmother, her Nonnie, was determined to have
bosom disease. We were searching for an approach to keep our brains caught up
with amid a truly hard time.
At
the point when Nonnie's hair begun to drop out, Scout got extremely concerned
and I needed to comfort both of our brains. I expected to show her and advise
myself that ladies are warriors! We picked renowned and wild ladies to show her
about the quality that ladies have.
We
had assembled a rundown of individuals to shoot and I showed Scout a tiny bit
about every individual. We then picked the photograph we needed to repeat
together. We took a shot at the venture for a little under a year - all through
the finding, treatment, and mastectomy surgery.
Nonnie
was diagnosed with breast cancer in April of 2016 and she had 6 rounds of
intense chemo from June to September that year. After she had finally regained
some strength, there was another bump in the road… a double mastectomy.
Scout
was learning first hand just how amazing and strong women can be. So we just
kept shooting. We planned that at the end of it all, we’d make a picture book
for both Scout and Nonnie. We made sure to pick a few of Nonnie’s favorites as
well, like Ellen. And Scout has a list of her Disney heroes we’re shooting as
well!
The
entire project was such a godsend for Scout and myself. And showing my mom the
end result- priceless. Every single minute I spent planning, styling, shooting,
and editing was 100% worth it.
This
project has probably taught me just as much or more than it taught my daughter.
I truly want Scout to be able to look back at this and know that women are just
as strong as any man. And to be quite honest, my fingers are crossed that by
the time she’s old enough to understand the strength she’s portraying- women
won’t be seen as delicate and dainty anymore, anyway. And I hope that when
Scout looks back on this, she is proud of who she is and who she will become.
Although
Scout has emulated so many amazing people, I fiercely encourage her to become
exactly the person she wants to be. No matter what, I think she’s amazing.
Oh
and Nonnie? She is cancer free! So of course.. she had to get in on the photos,
too! She is such an inspiration and we are so lucky to have her in our lives!
You’re our hero!
