The Town Family is not new to my blog. I have photographed their family many times and Jenny is one of my best friends. Her sweet baby girl, Bree, was recently diagnosed with leukemia and is at Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. I must give you a bit of a back story on all of this for you to truly understand how profound all of this is.
Jenny has two daughters…Madison is her oldest and Bree is the youngest. For over 3 years now the girls have been involved in service projects that Jenny and the girls decided on and have donated so many things to Devos Children’s Hospital. The girls put customized boxes all around Greenville a few years ago so kids could receive “poke” prizes every time they had to have blood drawn or a shot. They collected flavored chap stick, colorful band aids and match box cars to name a few. Just recently the girls took on another service project…Donating hair for Kids with Hair loss! They had a local salon( Llamage Salon) hold a day at the salon where kids can donate their hair…the date is Ocotber 6th. Can you believe that Madi and Bree just cut their hair for other kids and little Bree is now in Need of That Very Hair? The Dr’s say her hair will fall out soon and she was still excited to donate her own hair! IF that doesn’t speak to your heart, right?? I do not think anything is a coincidence. God has a plan for this family. I do not know what that plan looks like and it does not ease the pain they are facing..but, one thing is for certain…their story is truly inspiring, amazing and beyond my comprehension. I am in awe of their faith.
Jenny asked me to come to the hospital to photograph the girls donating their hair. I was honored. Jenny’s friend and stylist, Tara, came to cut their hair at the hospital
I just kept thinking…this is overwhelming…to think that they are giving at this particular time is amazing! Jenny and Chris have amazing children. Justin is the oldest and he is awesome, as well! I know if he had long enough hair…he would have donated some too!
Jenny and Chris..our family loves you. Praying and uplifting your family during this trying time. So many are on their knees for your sweet little girl. You are very loved!!!
Enjoy the slideshow…you know I had to document more than just the hair cut 😉
love and blessings,

What an awesome job you have done at taking the candid shots of the Town family!!! Totally loved the slide show. Such a wonderful attitude the girls have and have had, so giving and caring no selfish bones in their bodies! Their hair cuts are beautiful as well as their hearts. Thank you for being such a great friend to them all!
Traci Smith - kelly this is awesome it is simply amazing that you were able to get that for them. They all look great and to see Bree with a smile on her face, is great faith.
