I had the honor of photographing Noelle over the past year and a half.


I photographed her before her diagnosis,

before she lost her hair to chemo,

at one of her fundraisers,

before her leg amputation,

and after her lung removal...


And each and every time, without fail,

her joy radiated and her smile lit up the room.


She loved her family fiercely, and had the absolute best silly face she snuck into every session...the bull-dog, as she called it.


She was one-of-a-kind and had an impact on so many in her 7 (too short) years.

The Franklins have established a Pediatric Oncology Fund

in Noelle’s name at the UNC Health Foundation. 


Please join me in supporting them in Noelle's honor:

50% of all mini-sessions booked in the month of June will be donated directly to Noelle's Fund.
