I'm a Mom too, I need to do this... and be proud :)

There have been far too many moments in my life where I feel that I just haven't done enough in this world to make a difference in the lives of others. Within the last 2 years I have been able to create memories for parents and families that will hopefully be seen for generations, whether it be a picture in a shoe box, an album or a portrait on the wall. These pictures not only represent a precious time or phase in life......but they also represent me, and who I am.

I recently received a phone call from the father of McKenna Modler. This sweet girl has battled a brain tumor at a very young age of life and has also succeeded in making a difference in others through McKenna's Dream. Her father mentioned how, as parents of a child like McKenna, it is so important to have such keepsakes to hold onto forever. They get so tangled up in the busy life of traveling to hospitals and keeping appointments etc, that unfortunately, they just miss the opportunity to snap a picture here & there. So, it was so nice to hear how the pictures I took of McKenna has been a memory that they can look back on and remember for years to come.

McKenna's father suggested I continue to do this for families such as theirs. How special would it be for families who can't leave the hospital to have me come to them if needed? Or just be a part of their everyday life?  I'm a mom too, I need to do this for these families and children.

So, I am now proud to say that I am now a part of the Tiny Light Foundation.

"The Tiny Light Foundation is a non profit organization that provides professional photography for children and families that have been faced with a life altering diagnoses.

We provide families with the lasting memories through the amazing art of photography. With the help of many photographers throughout Canada we are able to provide families with photos they can share and help carry the many memories.

Our mission is to provide and capture memories that will help provide a family with one less thing to worry about. In the mist of dealing with doctors appointments, specialist appointments or just the daily life of medicines, rushing here to there for weights, check ups, and the many many other things we deal with in everyday life. A lot of the time photographs seem to take a back burner and not only with time, but with funds. When we look back we want to remember and even though you may not forget what you and your child has gone through we always want more we need the memories to last "Forever".

We at The Tiny Light Foundation feel that helping families create these memories is very important. Each of us has somehow been touched by a family member or friend who has had to endure a life altering experience and looking back we know the importance of these special moments. So whether you have a child or know a child who would benefit from a professional photo session. Please know we are here to help. Each session is specially designed and catered to your child and your family. Each session is free of charge and you are provided with a high resolution disk of edited photos ready for printing and four sheets of professional quality prints. Our photographers are willing to travel to your home, hospital, school. We want to capture a moment in the day in the life of you and your child.

Each child is different and special in their own way. When dealing with a serious illness or life altering disability we know that sometimes it takes much more patience and time then a normal in house studio can provide. Each Photographer is hand picked and selected for that special reason alone."
