Giving Back


copyright of Littlest Heroes website
The Littlest Heroes Project is a non-profit based organization founded in January 2008, made up of professional photographers nationwide that provide free photo sessions to our nations Littlest Heroes. This is my way of giving back and taking a stand for these children who sometimes feel forgotten because of their illnesses. We are here to let them know that they are heroes to many, and to share their inspirational stories and photos with the world.

Our mission at The Littlest Heroes Project is to help provide and capture memories for families who are dealing with hectic schedules due to having a child who is suffering from a serious illness or life altering disability. We understand that in the midst of being thrown a diagnosis and having to switch from a “normal” life to a life that is totally different, and often scary, things like getting photos taken is sometimes a huge challenge and is one of the last things families are thinking about. But when everything is done, and either the child has reached the end of their battle, or has proven the odds against it many wish they had more time to stop, and capture the journey that they lived through for so long. Through Littlest Heroes our photographers understand each and every case, and cater it to fit and honor each child and family. Our photographers are on hand to travel to homes, hospitals, clinics, fundraisers, and benefits to help capture your child’s journey in a “Day in the life” sort of style and work personally one on one with your child and entire family to get those special family photos and moments that you can cherish for years to come.
I am so proud to be a part of this amazing organization. Look for some of my work on my website under: GIVING BACK.

my last FL session

was with a few of my favorite clients! Meet the "D" Brothers. Friends/Neighbors/Playmates. I had the opportunity to watch these boys grow. They are delightful and we miss you guys. Here are a few of my favorites from their session. I can smell the Florida air, touch the thick hard grass and see mommy dancing around in the gloss of her children's eyes! Ohhh....I miss Florida. We hope you enjoyed these pictures. I'm so glad I have been able to stop time for you our dear friends. Here they are:

We miss you guys and talk about you often. Big hugs from up here!

they are so special

to my little family. Meet the "G" family. They took us in as we were in Jacksonville and welcomed us as we were family. This was our session from the weekend before we left. It does bring tears to my eyes as this was one of the last times we were at my favorite Alpine Groves Park. I hope you all enjoyed the session as much as I did. My family and I all miss you and your 3 dogs! Thanks for the session. Enjoy some of my favorites.

Seven fun family friends! There is something about big families that intrigues me. How fun it would be to have sisters and brothers! A little peek at my session of seven:
