This weekend I revamped the blog (as you can see) and the main site. During this week I plan on working on and updating the wedding site. I’ve been busy busy busy doing a lot of custom work and trying to get orders in for Christmas. Since my last post I have worked with two amazing families through Littlest Heroes Project sessions.

In October I met with a gorgeous little boy named Luca and his family. Luca suffers from Ependymoblastoma which is a brain tumor usually seen in the very young children. His cancer relapsed before his first round of treatment was completed, but he is a strong boy and last I heard he was doing quite well. We held Luca’s session in Ocean City, New Jersey, one of his favorite places to be.

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet Gianna and her family in center city Philadelphia. Gianna is a gorgeous and adorable girl with Williams Syndrome. From what I understand, people of all ages can be affected by Williams Syndrome. These individuals are overly social and very trusting, even of strangers. I would write more about this, but I don’t want to spread any incorrect information. To learn more you can follow the link above.

I have more photos from recent sessions to share, but I will add those in a later post. I hope that you all enjoy the rest of your weekend. Be careful in the snow!

Meet Anna - my first hero :}

This past friday I had the pleasure of traveling to meet a sweet girl named Anna and her family. Lori and Jonathan- you guys were great! Thank you for being so friendly and fun! Your kids are so well behaved and such sweethearts! This was my first time doing a session for the Littlest Heroes Project, and I am so happy to be a part of this organization! I was very lucky to be there when she clapped her hands for the first time! There is a photo included below. Here are a few of my favorites:
