Shelby. B. | Senior 2012 Green City HS

You can't help but love Shelby! She's such a quite, humble, and timid soul that has no idea just how drop dead gorgeous she is!

Shelby W. | KHS Senior 2011

Shelby was a little shy for the first part of her session...but once I started dancing like a baboon, she realized she could relax and just have fun!

Here are some of my favorite shots from her senior session.

Shelby Willis | Fighter

She has so many reasons to be bitter at the world, but instead Shelby Willis of Kirksville puts on her sunny glasses and smiles for any and every reason.

Sixteen-year-old Shelby was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (peritoneal mesothelioma) a few months ago. She lost her mother almost two years ago, and three weeks before that, she lost her best friend in a car wreck.

Despite the tragedy, Shelby has been resilient. She has such a jovial disposition for life that is truly contagious.

To help pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses, Shelby's church family at Faith United Methodist Church in Kirksville is planning a special benefit in April. These photos are for a flyer I'm designing to post all over town to promote the event.

Here is a link to her slideshow
