It all starts with an email or phone call to me, “My cousin had referred me over to your website. Which I’m so happy she did just that b/c your work is beautiful. I am wondering whether or not you would be able to help me out with a family portrait sometime in early April. This would be a gift for my father’s 70th birthday.”
This email or phone call starts our relationship, not just a working relationship but a caring friendship.
A few days ago I heard the news that a client of mine’s little baby was diagnosed with a rare mitochondrial disease called
Leigh’s Syndrome, a rapidly degenerative and terminal condition.Once I found out I went on line & search Leigh’s Syndrome & I can not even imagine what it would be like to hear that your 8 month old is diagnosed with a rare disease considered terminal. “What do you do, how could this happen, why my child?”
I wanted to share this with you all in hopes you can somehow help their family.
Today I found out that they started a fundraiser in honor of Nicky & also a blog of their fight to save their son.
So please take the time today to read Nicky’s store & help this family in need.

Here are some of the pictures from their session it was centered around her father & the whole family but we were able to sneak a few of Nicky in.
My thoughts & prayers are with your family.
