Beauty shines inside and out with this mom and 3 girls. Not only is Kristina a long-time client, but she has become a good friend as well. Now she has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer – a disease I know too well in my family. Please give her (as well as these sisters) your prayers as she makes her recovery.

I also want to take a minute to say that it really is never too early for a mammogram. K is only 31 and I am sure she will want me to use this opportunity to remind others to do self exams. Doctors are wonderful, but you have to do your part.

K – love you and your courage and strength through this. I hope these images are some good-medicine for today.

Breast cancer is also an unfortunate familiarity in my family as well. As heartwrenching as the diagnosis is, I have seen some amazing women have some amazing recoveries, and K is no exception I’m sure! Blessings to her and her sweet family, and lots of prayers from Texas.

I will keep Kristina and her family in my prayers and pass on her story to keep other women aware. I am 31, and after reading this, I’m taking my own health into my control. Thank you for sharing this!

These are beautiful! My own journey has included a walk through the land of breast cancer at 40 and it’s not easy but every time she looks in the faces of those beautiful daughters it will give her the courage and strength to face what lies ahead. Many prayers!!
