Meet Abigail - The Littlest Heroes Project

I met Abigail and her family through The Littlest Heroes Project. The Littlest Heroes Project is non-profit based organization founded in January 2008 , made up of professional photographers nationwide that provide free photo sessions to our nations Littlest Heroes. Through the power of photography we are 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.

Abigail is 8 months old - she is a beautiful little girl - big blue eyes, long lashes and curls to swoon over.



This is Abigail's Story:

When I was born I could not breathe - I was immediately incubated and whisked away. I spent a month and a half in the NICU until I had a Tracheotomy and a Nissen Fundoplication followed with a GT placement.I was placed up in the PICU where I was closely monitored. I spent a half a month there before I could go home. Since being home I have been in and out of the hospital due to surgical procedures and respiratory infections and many more hospital visits to come that are out of my control. At home I am on a ventilator to help me breathe and a oximeter to tell my parents and nurses what my oxygen level is and what my heart rate is. My parents recently found out my heart has been stopping for short periods of time but to the point the doctors worry about me going into cardiac arrest so in the possible near future if it doesn't get better I could possibly have a pacemaker put in but for now I am living everyday to the fullest with my family. I am a resilient 8 month old who has faith I will overcome all my obstacles and to one day being a "normal" healthy little girl.

Here is Abigail with her Family. You can view more photos over on the Studio Facebook page.

FRESH FACES Contest {BABY}

What a last few weeks it was! We got so many adorable entries it was so hard to choose! We decided to make it two contests - one for Babies 12 months and younger, and one for kids 1-10. This is the {Baby} finalist and voting post.

Each Finalist is numbered (1-12) and you will vote from the corresponding poll below.
Voting Ends on April 1st and the Winners will be announced April 2nd.

Please see below the poll for more information








READ THIS:

• You may vote ONCE PER COMPUTER. PERIOD. Additonal votes from the same IP address or any duplicate votes could cause you to be disqualified. Please play fair!
  
• We thought ALL of the babies were cute, however we could only choose 12 for finalists. We are sorry if we couldn't pick you. Images that were too blurry, far away or we found out that you entered a pic of them when they were 8 months old, but now they are 15 months old (reason why I said we were "boy heavy" before) were not used.

Sneak Peek - Birthday Portraits in Boise

I love this Sweet Little Miss! I've taken her photos so many times..(maternity,newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and now 1 year!) and she just gets cuter and sweeter every single time.







Many thanks to the family for allowing me to photograph their baby's first year!

Luckiest Photographer in the WORLD!

Last Monday, I was sitting at the studio (working!) and noticed a basket I had purchased recently. I had used it in a newborn session a few weeks prior and now it was just sitting there, all lonely like, holding some extra blankets...at the same time I was writing an email to client asking them what color balloons they wanted for their birthday session....Balloons?

I grabbed my phone, called one of my favorite clients, and begged her to stop in the next day for a quick session...and this is what we got...



One of my favorite images EVER! Thanks So Much N. and Baby G!
