A couple of years ago I spent some time with an amazing family who live on the outskirts of Seattle. The parents have a two-ear-old daughter named Camille. Camille was born with several neurological problems.
She cannot sit up straight. She cannot roll over. She can barely swallow. She has severe problems with her larynx which collapses every time she opens her mouth.
She can barely breathe. Its hard on a little girl. It is also really hard on her family.
What's wrong with Camille? Well, no one really knows. Her parents have never been given a full diagnosis. This fact alone causes all kinds of problems and just adds to the burden that Jim and Karin face each and every day.
Photographing this family on a typical day was exhausting. Their days are filled with love, heartache and stress. Their patience is inspiring.
