Forevermore Foundation

Why we do... what we do

We don’t want any kids, parents or partners to question the love their unwell family member has for them.

Illness affects more than just the body; it impacts hearts, minds, and wallets. Our mission is to offer families precious photographic memories before treatment begins — capturing moments filled with joy, hope, and love - even in the darkest times.

We want to give families the chance to cherish images of their ill parent, child, or soulmate at diagnosis.
Before treatment starts, and hair is lost. Focusing on the deep connections that hold them together.

We hope every family wins their battle, and in doing so, we’ve gifted them beautiful memories to treasure forever. But if the battle is lost, we want the surviving loved ones to have those special photographs to remember their parent, partner, or child as they were before illness, and to see the love that never faded whenever they look back.

Our goal is for families to hold onto the happy, vibrant memories in the times when their loved one was strong and full of life, rather than only having difficult images from their toughest moments. While photos from the final stages of life are deeply meaningful, we want these to be part of a broader story filled with light, love, and connection.

It all started when..

When I was just five years old, my father passed away from cancer at the young age of 35. I’m grateful to have many cherished photos of us together. Some showing him well, but more often images of him with a bald head from treatment, or looking different because of his battle with cancer. This is where the idea for Forevermore was born.

When I was just five years old, my father passed away from cancer at the young age of 35. I’m grateful to have many cherished photos of us together - some showing him well, but more often the images show him with a bald head from treatment, or not looking himself (with no thanks to his battle with cancer).

Over the past 10 years or so, as I’ve built my small photography business, I’ve had the privilege of photographing many people who have fought and won their own battles with illness. I’ve also offered free sessions to those still fighting, and it was through these experiences that my vision for Forevermore truly took shape.

I’ve heard so many stories — from those who have faced illness and loss — about missed opportunities to capture early memories. “We meant to get photos done, but medical bills and treatments took priority,” or “I wanted photos, but once I started treatment and lost my hair, I didn’t want to be in front of the camera anymore.”

Looking back at my own photos with Dad, I treasure them deeply. But I grew up in a time before mobile phones and selfies were a thing, before photography was so accessible. I have many pictures of us working in the yard, exploring, and just hanging out, but few that show us simply being together — cuddling, talking, or sharing quiet moments. I would give anything for a selfie with my Dad.

Lifestyle photography has this beautiful ability to capture those intimate, unposed moments amid the joyful chaos of family life.

Maybe it’s because I love this style so much that I long for those genuine, tender images — not only of my Dad, but also of my own little family today.
