Originally uploaded by Cahill Creations

I had my very first Oplove session today! I met a wonderful mom and 4 month old baby named Riley. Dad is currently deployed in Kuwait. They photographed beautifully and I of course could not stop taking pictures. It was cloudy but a good day to shoot. It was a little cold here and there but the baby didn't seem to mind to much. I have more pictures that I will post soon!
For more information on the Littlest Heroes Project please visit thier website at www.oplove.org
See ya later!

New blog for benefit.

I put together a blog to last us through the benefit. I thought it was an easy way to keep everyone involved informed on what is going on and also a great place for people to find out about the benefit. You can find it here

Hosting a benefit for 2 local Children

I have been deeply touched by two extraordinary children that are in my area both battling the same childhood cancer. As part of The Littlest Heroes Project I have been in contact with two amazing families that have incredible but very sad stories of their two young children. Olivia is a three year old princess and Drew he is a 5 year old little super hero. I have already taken Olivia's pictures as part of the Littlest Heroes Project. I will be taking Drew's very soon; in fact if all went well he was being released from the local children's hospital today. Both children were diagnosed back in November with medulloblastoma. Scott and I are happy to announce that we will be hosting a benefit for both children on July 11th to help with the astronomical medical bills both families have been faced with. You can read Olivia's story in my last post. As soon as I am able to take Drew's pictures I will also be posting his story. Both these families have been through so much. Something I could never imagine. I do not know how I could be as strong as these parents are. They deserve so much. It makes me so sad that these innocent beautiful children have been struck with such an ugly disease. They are fighting so hard and are genuine little heroes. Keep July 11th on your calendars. More details will follow!
Thanks!

What a beautiful girl!

Yesterday I had the fantastic priveledge of meeting a beautiful 3 year old fun little girl named Olivia. It was in part of The Littlest Heroes Project that I am a part of. Olivia was diagnosed on black friday this past year with Medulloblastoma. She has been through so much in this short time since she was diagnosed with the cancer. She was so amazing her smile melted my heart and I teared up when she laughed because she was so beautiful. She was a bit shy at first but after a round of peek a boo and some bubble blowing she was all smiles. Her little "purple puppy" (her stuffed toy friend) wanted to sit on my head and hang from the tree like a monkey and Olivia laughed hysterically each time. I made her a tutu which she sported proudly and wore home to show daddy. She was treated like a celebrity getting so many snapshots I couldn't stop. I sent them to her mom last night and I couldn't decide which ones to send because they were all so cute I sent them all! I feel so blessed meeting this amazing family. Olivia's mom Lulu is due any day with another little baby. This family is going through so much I can not believe how strong they all are, smiling the entire time! Please visit their caring bridge site to learn more on Olivia and if you can send in a donation to help the ongoing medical bills this family has faced. Here is a link to her site :
