Description
All of us come face-to-face with mortality sooner or later. Model Rachelle Ruby is one of those who has had to face it sooner. In November 2012, just one day before her husband deployed to Afghanistan, this 28-year-old mother of two was diagnosed with cancer. But that has hardly slowed her modeling career, and she sat for this photographer while undergoing chemotherapy in Jan 2013. Proceeds from the sale of this photo, if any, will be used to benefit Rachelle and her family.
SEPT 2013 UPDATE - Rachelle completed her chemo in the spring, her hair is returning, her husband has returned safely from Afghanistation and she remains cancer-free.
OCT. 2017 UPDATE - Rachelle remains cancer-free.

Sean, you have managed to find some extraordinarily beautiful women and express that beauty wonderfully. This is the shining jewel so far I think. Rachelle has that piercing stare and that wry smile that tells you she knows something you wish she didn't know. Beautiful work Sean ... with all the girls. Voted, Faved and tweetered!
Sean Griffin replied:
Thank you so much, Seth. I'll be uploading a few more images of her soon, with her lovely head adorned with wigs.
