Buddies For Life Autumn 2015

Driving through to Sasolburg the other day, I suddenly noticed that the Cosmos is blooming already.  A sign of Autumn, its one of the most beautiful times of the year in Johannesburg.

It also brought back memories for me, of a shoot I did this time last year.  A beautiful family, filled with love, laughter and light.  The Roberts family really did touch me in many different ways but the biggest thing for me was the way they stuck together in a time of hardship.
Sally and her mom were both diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the same time, and while going through treatment, her dad looked after them both.  For those who know what it is like having a loved one going through Chemo, you will understand how much of a strain it put on Mr Roberts, but he loved his ladies so much he sacrificed a lot to help them.

It was also during this time that Sally met Noel, the love of her life, and he also helped these beautiful women deal with the many treatments and Doctors appointments they needed to go to.

Sadly Sally passed away late last year, but before she did she embraced life.  She traveled, did things she had always wanted to do and really loved every minute.  This post may seem sad, but to me its not.  Its a loving memory of a beautiful lady who touched my life in a big way in the short time that I knew her.  Its a celebration of her life, and her beautiful family who I admire, respect and love a lot.

Here is a peak at a few of the fun photos we did of this amazing family ...

I met Sally at the Donald Gordon Institute and at Olivedale Hospital when I was receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I was so very sad to find out she has passed away, we chatted about our mutual hatred of the Big C and even shared a few jokes! She was such an inspirational, positive, energetic lady and had such presence. You were such a fighter, Sally - rest in peace.

hello Chantal I was so thrilled to by chance find your article about my daughter Sally. We are of course still so heart sore about losing our beloved Sally but very proud also that she was so positive and full of fun and smiles and such a help to other people going through Cancer.. What a warrior she was right to the end. Thank you so your kind words and we so enjoyed that shoot nearly three years ago!

    Quirky and often described as rather eccentric, I am a lover of all things beautiful.  Capturing special moments and making my clients look and feel beautiful is what makes me happy!
