~Celebrate Love~ The H family.

~Celebrate Love~

What’s it all about??

I have often come across people in my community who are going through something in their lives be it sickness, recovery, a birth that has overcome great odds, an adoption; and my automatic response to those stories is that I want to reach out to them and offer them a photography session (free of charge of course).

Something that would document this time in their lives, to create memories with those they love or to commemorate a happy and joyful time.
To me the images that we take mean so much more than just a time and a place- they are a celebration of our lives
So I challenge you blog readers and friends on facebook to nominate your friends, family, neighbours, co-workers or those you have heard of who are deserving of such a celebration.

Take an active roll in those lives around you- notice the beauty in one another.

Sometimes we just need to reach out to one another and show our love, even to someone who is a stranger friend
I will choose one application per month (for now) that truly merits a session.
Applications:
Your application of nomination must include your information (name, email address and phone number as well as a detailed description as to why you feel this person or people deserve a session)
Also you must include their name, address, email address and phone number.

For now I will only be doing celebrate love session in the Burlington/Waterdown area.   If you know of someone who deserves a session who is out of the area, but who will travel here, that is fine too. 

Please send them to me at patti@pattimillerphotography.com

In honour of announcing the celebrate love sessions I would like to start by sharing some photos from my first celebrate love family photo shoot.

My parents live down the street from the H family and I knew immediately I wanted to offer them a photo session.  I can not imagine what they are going through helping one of their beautiful daughters who is fighting Leukemia.   I have enjoyed reading their family blog as they share so graciously with the world the ups and downs of the battle they are facing.   Not only did I want the chance to spend some time with them as a family, I wanted to bless them with some photos that I pray will remind them of the strength they have together as a family unit, to fight this, and win!!

I was so happy to hear that we had grandparents coming too who are an integral part of the family.   All six of you have touched my heart deeply, and have to admit, I have fallen in love your family in the short time we were together.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!!

Here is a video I made up with some of my favourite images from the day!

and some more that I just love
