Welcome Little One!!
A new life enters the world and it is a reminder to us that we are witnesses to miracles!
This little miracle came to visit me in my studio, when he was 7 days old.
Do you see his little smile...... so precious! :)
They happen to be Georgia Fans.....go Bulldogs!!
His room has a jungle theme and so they brought this monkey to
use in some portraits.......hard to balance, but we got a few shots!
Thank you Ashmita and Manish for sharing your new little
one with me! Welcome to the world Ronak!

Sharing Your Gifts.....
Life is about sharing the gifts and talents we possess with others. Using the gift I have been given to record life's moments with those around me is something I get pure enjoyment from! The feelings inside me that come from giving of myself and the families I have met, makes it all too clear why I have been called to be in this profession. It is a calling you know...what you are meant to do. It is that inner voice that quietly speaks. It may take time to listen to that voice or hear what God is calling you to do......but once you surrender yourself to what you are truly meant to do with your life, it is the most liberating feeling!
I am a part of the "Littlest Heroes" program that gives free sessions and portraits to families with children who have an illness or special need. These children are truly "Little Heroes" and their families are going through things I cannot even imagine having to deal with on a daily basis. I recently had the opportunity to spend some time with the McBride Family and their "Little Hero" - Andrew!
Andrew was diagnosed with Leigh's Disease around the time he turned 2. He was a normal little boy up until that point. Leigh's Disease is a rare neurometabolic disorder that damages the central nervous system. There currently is no cure for this disease, so each day is a gift!
He and his family have never had a family portrait done, because he cannot get out much. They have to be very careful about germs with Andrew. It was such a pleasure to meet them and little Andrew! What made it even more perfect, was that Lisa ( his mom) had her mother and two sisters in town to share in the portrait experience too!Andrew and his family have made an imprint on my heart and I feel so blessed to have been able to record a special moment for this family. Here are some shots from my visit! If you know of a family that has a "Little Hero", feel free to contact me!
