A few weeks ago I donated a session to an auction benefitting The Ruby Jane Foundation. If you have not yet heard the story of sweet Ruby, I encourage you to visit the link and learn more about her. That sweet baby girl passed away while waiting for an organ donation to save her life. The mission of the foundation created in her name is to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation, and to encourage people to sign up to become donors. I can't imagine the pain a family would feel to lose a baby... I am sure there aren't words for the intensity of it. But I know that her family is passionate about helping to save other families from the pain they have endured. This is the season of giving and sharing... I can't think of a better, or simpler, way to serve than to sign up to be a donor! Please visit the the foundations website to learn more about what you can do to help this cause!
I was thrilled to get an email from Stephanie on Friday saying she had won the package, and had a 4 day old she wanted to get some pictures of. I was so happy to get to meet her, and to shoot this beautiful newborn. As much as I love shooting families, by the end of Christmas picture season, I am itching to shoot something else, and we all know how much I love shooting newborns! I jumped at the chance to get him so small, and scheduled an appointment for the next morning. He was such a wonderful baby... so sleepy, and content. He let us move him all around, change his outfits, backdrops, etc., and never made a peep. I loved getting to know his parents, and adorable older brother, Bennett. It is safe to say that there is no shortage of love for this little man!
