MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS, Ohio — A 14-year-old girl in Ohio got the princess photo shoot she has always wanted in a place that really hits home.

Kayla Hoover-Radicella was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer called Anaplastic Ependymoma in 2012.

All the tumors were removed. Unfortunately, the cancer returned, according to WOIO-TV.

When the owner of Double J Photography heard about Kayla, she wanted to do something.

Not only did Ashley Sotomayor donate her time, she arranged to have a dress, make-up artist, and a limo donated.

The photo shoot started next to a lake, but the next location was a big surprise that hit close to home.

The shoot took place in the Prayers from Maria Sunflower Field which was planted by a family who lost a daughter to brain cancer.

Kayla is raising money through her Etsy shop and a GiveForward account.
