Hole in the Wall Camp-August

I was so incredibly blessed this summer to spend one day a month with these very special kids at Hole in the Wall Camp, in Ashford, shooting for Flashes of Hope which is a non profit organization, providing photographs of kids battling serious illnesses.

Every child is special, but these kids make a smile, or shy little grin so poignant that it almost breaks my heart that they have to face such challenges at such a very young age.

The 5 minutes we had with each of them grew my heart 100x over.

Pete and I are richer for knowing them.

Family Portraits – 4 Generations!

Posted in Family portraits

When Diane came into the office to talk about having a 4 generation session done, it reminded me of one of my most treasured photographs- my great grandmother, grandmother, mother and little me, at the age of about 1 week old. Very formal as was the norm back then and indicative of my elders lifestyle. I was so glad to hear that Diane wanted some informal ‘fun’ photographs that showed her families humor and spirit. We had lots of laughs and a few tears from baby L, but a sippy was all that was needed
