Bits of Life :: Annie & Sam




Sam's best friend is our neighbor, Annie, and if arranged marriages were in style I know for sure these two would be a match made in heaven. Their conversations are hilarious and together they are just a joy for me and Annie's mom, Denise, to have around. Although these two play wonderfully together, neither Denise or I ever seem to get anything done because we hide around the corner listening to their chatter and call each other in fits and giggles to share what's going on.

Today Sam, Annie & I celebrated the first day of spring with a trip to the Bounce-U and Chocolate World. Our tradition at CW is to hit the tour ride and then take a cookie break, and that's exactly what we did. So enjoy a few pics of our yummy day and have a Happy Spring yourself!

p.s. Normally, other than my kids, I do not post children's names on the blog, but in this case I was given permission~ really, how can I write this blog post without saying "Annie & Sam"?? Just too cute!

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography

In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of the death of their newborn or infant. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. I am an active NILMDTS volunteer photographer for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Lancaster Women & Babies Hospital.
