A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Noah and his family. Stacy applied to participate in The Littlest Heroes Project, and they selected me as their photographer. Noah was so sweet and as you can tell from the images, he’s quite the little looker!

“To My Sweet Noah,
I hold your ocean blue eyes and warmth of your smile so close to my heart. When I learned of a foundation called the Littlest Heroes Project I was so excited to have the opportunity to have you professionally photographed so that I could forever capture all the beautiful things that make you so very special. I look past all your physical challenges and see just this incredible little boy that is filled with love and laughter. You could not be more precious than you are.
We couldn’t quite decide on the perfect outfit for your special photo shoot, so we chose three. Your second year Easter outfit, a yellow shirt to go with your pale and tender skin, and a shirt that says “God makes the impossible possible because here I am.” We were so very fortunate that the sweet photographer that was chosen for us came with such love, care and patience.
From the moment our photographer, Tonee, walked in the house, she felt like a familiar friend. There were no expectations or ideas on how you would pose for the camera, no demanding props to help you appear like a child meeting all milestones on schedule. She allowed you the freedom to be who you are. Which in turn captured you in some of your most candid, honest, beautiful moments.
Each picture is a piece of your story. Your journey as this little boy they deemed had no chances of survival. You are so full of life in all your pictures, your eyes light up and that tender smile is simply irresistible. For years to come we’ll be able to look back in that moment in time, forever a piece of your little history in these photographs. You will be forever and always our little hero. You have such determination and stregnth. Your life is destined for great things, and we’re so proud we’re able to share your story with others. You are a miracle in every way.
We have been so blessed to have met so many people along the way who genuinely care about you – people who give of their time, talents, hope and love for you. We are so thankful to the Littlest Heroes Project and Tonee Lawrence Photography for providing us with such beautiful keepsakes that we’ll be able to treasure always.
“The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.â€

Love,
