Our Aim
To provide complimentary photography sessions for families with children who are suffering a life-altering illness or disability. The project features photographers from across Canada united in a single purpose; we believe in sharing the gift of photography and providing precious captured moments for them.
Helping Hearts
Why we do it
As parents, there is nothing harder than seeing your child suffer from a disease or serious illness. When we can't help the child ourselves, aside from comforting them, there is an utter sense of helplessness, and at times, it can be be overwhelming. Given the opportunity, many parents would perhaps wish to swap places with their child.
Throughout a child's life, most families probably wouldn't expect their child to become ill, and possibly be hospitalized, or confined to the home. This journey can cause a roller coaster of emotions for families – confusion, sadness, hope, celebration, and grief. During these times of transition, families may not have considered how important it may be to preserve the precious changes in their children. As parents and photographers, our team knows families will cherish these captured moments.
From their complimentary photo session with their photographer, families normally receive a disk with approximately 20-30 print ready images and a complimentary 8×10 print of their choice. Images will be posted to a private online gallery that you are welcome to share with family and friends who are unable to visit. Sessions are entirely accommodated to the needs of the individual family. Sessions will include individual images of the child (including any attached wires/monitors, nothing will need to be disconnected), as well as relationship type images with mom, dad and siblings (if possible).
I am extremely pleased and proud to be counted as part of the photography team for this worthwhile team effort.
