I love going to client’s homes for photographs. Although a little more challenging (light wise), there’s nothing better than capturing kids playing with their toys and just being in “their space”.

Deacon, as you can see, is completely in love with the movie Cars and was also very excited to show me the trains in his playroom. Beckem is incredibly sweet, and a trooper.  Joanne showed me photos of when he was born (he was born with a cleft lip & palate), and you would not believe the difference! It’s remarkable what he has been through already. Thank you, Trevor and Joanne, for calling me to do your photos again; I loved every minute of it! 

 
Elliott (also known as ‘Bacon’) is one of the sweetest boys around. We met up at Colin’s aunt & uncle’s gorgeous house in White Rock, and Elliott immediately grabbed my hand for the grand tour. After that, he was always reaching out for my hand, or glancing over his shoulder to make sure I was coming – I loved it! (usually my boys are running away from me?!)

Almost nine years ago I was in Haiti. Needless to say, Haiti has never left my heart.

One of my closest friends, Rebecca, currently lives in Haiti and has a blog which you can check out here.  Sometimes having a connection to someone makes it that much more real for us, so I encourage you to browse through some of her latest posts.  She is working for Heart to Heart in Grande Goave, just outside of Port au Prince, and was severly impacted by the earthquake. Heart to Heart is based out of Abbotsford, BC, and you can visit their site by clicking here.

Many of us have been deeply affected by the events of the last 11 days, and have already given to various charities. If you are still looking for a way to help out, consider Heart to Heart. If you would like to somehow get your workplace, school, or church involved, there are a couple churches in the Lower Mainland collecting rice and buckets of supplies to ship in containers to Haiti, via Heart to Heart. 

There are three ways to help:

Donate rice

Donate a bucket of supplies

Choose from a list of materials to donate

If you can get involved, any help is appreciated. All donations can be dropped off at Pacific Community Church (5337 180th St, Surrey) Saturdays from 9am – 1pm. If you have trouble getting donations transported, send me an email!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
