Inspiration Through Art

I got a wonderful email yesterday that my application to be a participating photographer 
with Inspiration Through Art had been approved and accepted.
I cried. Happy wonderful tears.
This is what I felt like I was meant to do with my camera.
In a nutshell, this organization lets families with critical ill or special needs children
connect with a photographer who provides them with a photo session to celebrate
the small heroes in their life.
Amazing.
Really. Really. Amazing.
 It is basically a waiting game, I wait until chosen by a family...
I can hardly stand it.

it may not start with smiles...

 When I met Noah, he was not impressed with my camera.
Or me.
Or my bubbles.
Or feeding the ducks.


Poor guy. It was a hot day. And I kept following him around.
He wasn't unhappy, or scared, or crying.

So, I let him be a toddler in the park.
Let him wander for a bit.

 Then, we busted out the cookies.
Progress.

 Then, we busted out the finger puppets.
And the tickling...

 And then, we were best buddies!
(he's got my lion puppet on his teeny finger!)
 While I had him happy,
mom and dad jumped in...



I always carry bubbles, & finger puppets.
They usually do the trick.
I love working so hard :)
It's hardly working!

sweet Bella- 7 months

 Taking pictures for new friends is amazing.
And taking pictures for family is equally rewarding...
I love watching babies grow up before my eyes!
