Baby Portrait Session :: Better late than never!

Last summer little B's mom scheduled with me to photograph him just after he was born in the fall, but as we all know the best laid plans are sometimes not of our own choosing. So here we are a few months later for a baby portrait session~ and this little cutie is just a joy and blessing to his mom, dad and big brother. His big smiles definitely came from his brother's silly antics, although really big bro only had to walk by to get the biggest, sweetest grins. I have know this little guy's mommy for a long time and she is a dear friend. It has been neat to see her transition from a single girl to a married woman with a great husband, to a wonderful mom of two boys. I love when God matches me up with just the right friends, near and far. I am so grateful to be a part of their lives and watch them and their families grow and change.

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.
