Arkansas Children's Hospital
Thursday I am going with my Photographer friend Kelly Haynes to Arkansas Children's Hospital with my camera in tow. She has volunteered through the Ronald McDonald house, and they will be hooking us up with families/children to photograph. I am so excited and thankful that she has included me to help with this. I think the plan right now is that she and I will alternate weeks that we will go up there one day. Also, they may call at other times if there is a sick baby that they need to get photos of in case it is the last chance that family has for photos of them. That is heartbreaking to think about. I am humbled to have the opportunity to provide these children and their family with pictures, or whatever else the organization needs us to take pictures of. THIS.....is the reason I love photography. Not b/c of the business, or the elaborate weddings people throw, but to give families lasting memories of their children, that they may not have otherwise.

I think that this is something that is going to touch you more than you realize.... This is really a wonderful thing that you are doing.
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what parents need, Maury! After having two of my children in the hospital/ICU for 'non-terminal' issues- I can appreciate what a picture would do in preserving memories... good or bad. It took me years to be able to look at Jayden's hospital photos- I still have them tucked away and only take them out once a year on her 'diagnosis anniversary.' While unpleasant to look at, I thank God for where he's brought us and her! You go, sister!
