Lindia and her Family, Pollock Pines, CA

by Lisa Richmond

Lindia is a friend and neighbor. We have gotten to know each other while sharing a walking group on Mondays and our daughters play together. Up here in our close-knit community of Pollock Pines, when someone is struggling, we all feel it and gather to do whatever it is we can do to help. So, when I learned that Lindia had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I immediately knew it was time to schedule a shoot – some time to capture her fighting spirit and the love and support of her family as she begins treatment.

I originally had in mind a glamour shoot with Lindia, to photograph her beauty that shines through in her natural warmth and easy smile. I then thought we could add-in David and Elizabeth to capture their love for each other. But, the day before, Lindia decided to include her in-laws and father and so it became a fantastic opportunity to really document three generations of family love, connection and support.

Our session was scheduled for a Sunday after Lindia returned from a getaway cruise with girlfriends(+1:). The day after our shoot, Lindia donated her hair to Locks of Love. Such a beautiful act recognizing the journey that is ahead of her.

Lindia has such a strong spirit and, along with the loving support of her family and friends, I know she will be kicking this cancer to the curb as hard as she can, the same way I saw my own mother do many years ago.
