Everyone should know by now what a huge advocate for charity I am. I have my own, Operation: Love ReUnited, and I also volunteer for The Heart Gallery and The Littlest Heroes.
Yesterday morning I had a Heart Gallery session, but I cannot share those images. The Heart Gallery Photographer Volunteers photograph children who are up for adoption thru Social Services. Statistics show that a child has a better chance at being adopted if the pictures of them reflect their personalities and spirit.
The Littlest Heroes is available for children who are truly leading the spirit of life everyday, as they are faced with health conditions, sometimes terminal conditions. These little folks are AMAZING spirited children, who just want to be kids, and be treated like kids. A week or so ago, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Emma and her family.
Emma is a beaming, beautiful, outgoing 5 year old red-head, and we all know my deep rooted love for a red head (having one of my own <3.) Angie, Emma’s mother, and I have been coordinating this session for Emma for many months. As they are from Wyoming it was a matter of scheduling around doctors appointments here in Denver at The Children’s Hospital. Finally on a beautiful morning, we meet. The first thing Emma said to me was, “How you doing?”
Right after our first set, her little brother took a spill off a tree stump cutting his nose a little. But regardless of the rough start, as you can see we made some beautiful memories for Emma and her lovely family.
It was a pleasure, Foley Family. I’ll be sending your disk out soon
