Meet the beautiful Miller Family. I met them through
and they are an AMAZING family.
Margie Miller, aka mama, was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2010 and when it spread to her spine, she was told there was little they could do. She is still very hopeful
and full of faith. Her husband is a pastor at their church and the spirit of the Lord literally radiates off of this family.
When we had our family session, ABC 15 news was there to capture the moment and put together a piece about
The F.I.L.M. Project.
Margie talked about her faith and how that has gotten them through these rough times. Her faith is inspiring and her courage amazing!
It was truly an honor and a blessing to meet and work with this beautiful family and I am blessed to call them FRIEND!
Enjoy the sneak peek of their session!
Here is the link to the news webcast from this session!
Thanks Angela Holdsworth at ABC 15!
Make sure to watch it and forward it on to anyone that could use our services.

This beautiful family is the Pena family. I had the blessing
of meeting them at London's Run in January, where I also
met their angel Breanna. Breanna lost her battle to Leukemia shortly after London's Run and she was an
amazing girl. I wish I had been able to get to know her, but just being around her you could feel her spirit.
Getting to know her family a bit more now, I see why Breanna was such a light. Rick and Richelle are amazing, their strength inspires and it was my priviledge to take their pictures at Breanna's favorite place, the Mesa temple.
I am so grateful for the Gospel that gives us the testimony that we will not only be with our family again, but will be with them forever!
President Thomas S. Monson said
"Each of our temples is an expression of our testimony that life beyond the grave is as real and as certain as is our life here on earth. I so testify."

She was definitely with us that day and the laughter and smiles were proof!
Thank you so much Pena family, I LOVE you guys!!
Enjoy your sneak peek!

I LOVE this family!
They have been getting family pictures with me for the past 4 years now and it's so awesome to watch them grow into the young adults they are becoming.
The kids have gotten used to me, and I think I can finally make them laugh. I think they just finally figured out what a dork I am! ;) hee hee
Thanks Stevens family for allowing me to be a part of your family every year! Here is your sneak peek....can't wait to show you more!
This next picture on the right is hysterical. Cole requested it, and I hope I did it justice! Total kickback to the 80s! LOVE it! ;)
This gorgeous girl is my High School Senior 2012 Rep! We had so much fun during her shoot, and she even brought along her very own "prop"...her boyfriend!
It was blistering hot outside, but she put up with my driving all around and changing three different times!
Here is a sneak peek from her session! Can't WAIT to share more!

This little girl is Renee. She is one of the first kids I met when I was diagnosed. She was in the Los Angeles Children's hospital battling ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia). Her mom and my mom because instant friends and we quickly grew to love Renee and her family.
Renee had a long, hard battle but was always still giggly and happy. She always had a smile that could light up any room and a laugh that warmed your heart.

Renee unfortunately lost her battle to Leukemia at her home in her mother's loving arms. Renee's mother is one of the strongest women I know! She had two more children after Renee died and their house is full of angels and sweet memories of their precious, little girl. She was the sweetest, happiest little girl I have ever been blessed to know, and I told her mother that one day if I was blessed to have a little girl, she would be named after Renee. So, my Nikki Renee will always have an angel on her side.
Love you Nae-Nae!!!

For those of you who don't know, I am a survivor of Acute Myelocetic Leukemia. I was diagnosed when I was 10 years old with the rarest form on Leukemia in children and was given 6 weeks to live.

I was first introduced to the Light The Night walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in Las Vegas in 2003 and raised $2,500 for my team. This year, my wish is to surpass that number!!!
