Haircuts

I love my hair. Its a big part of my appearance, always has been, always will be. When the doctors told me that there was a 100% chance it will fall out after chemotherapy I was bummed. I have only shaved my head a handful of times in my life. Ever since my teenage years I always preferred it longer and bragged of getting a haircut/trim only once a year. My boys were only 3 and 1 at the time and I didn’t know how I was going to tell them daddy was going to lose his hair. We decided that we would all cut our hair together the day before I left for the hospital knowing that I would be gone for over a month. I figured it was something we could do together rather than me returning home bald after being gone for so long. These images are still very emotional for me now when I look back at them. When its all said and done, its just hair and it will grow back.

Stephanie Crouch is the Owner and Creative Genius behind Rustic Moon Photography. She is also a very close friend of mine who I approached when I was first told by my doctor that I was going to need a Bone Marrow Transplant. I asked Stephanie if she would follow me along this journey and help document the major aspects of the transplant in hopes that one day someone in need of a transplant can use this story as a positive affirmation that everything is going to get better. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be in my life and support me and my family in this journey.
