PHOTOGRAPHY WITH A PURPOSE

COLTON :: ALBINISM

This little dude brought a burst of wonderful to his Sweetie Session. Full of smiles, giggles and attitude- he couldn’t have been a better model! Colton was born with albinism which causes his eyes extremely sensitive to sunlight and he must be extra protected by always wearing sunscreen. Albinism is an inherited genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes. We love you sweet Colton and know you are going to do amazing things!

Arabella :: hydranencephaly, microcephaly, visually impaired

Meet Arabella! This sweet girl was abandoned at birth. When she was brought to the hospital she was only hours old with her umbilical cord still attached and suffering with hypothermia. Her MRI showed hydranencephaly with complete absence of frontal and parietal brain parenchyma, with small volume temporal parenchyma bilateral. She also has severe microcephaly and is blind. Each day sweet Arabella shows her strength by defying the odds which are stacked against her. She brings so much joy to the lives of those closest to her.

Arabella was placed in foster care and taken in by an angel on earth. In October 2016 Arabella was officially adopted and given a forever home.

Arabella’s new mommy has fostered 6 children, several with special needs. We first met this loving woman when her daughter Rosie was nominated as our Sweetie. Rosie had been diagnosed with clear cell sarcoma and fought a hard fight. Every step of the way her mom was by her side giving her love, and the best care possible. This super momma continues to be a strong advocate, a loud voice, a nurturing hand, a powerful example of love, and a hero to her children.

Join Sweet Nectar Society as we wrap our sweetness around Arabella, her mom, and siblings.

TREYSEN :: SHORT GUT

Meet Treysen. Treysen is a smiley, happy little guy. His mom stays home and cares for all of Treysen’s medical needs. She is a powerful advocate and he is her first priority in everything she does. Due to low immunity, Treysen often stays out of the public to avoid getting sick.
Treysen is extremely loved and we are happy we were able to capture these SWEET pics of this cute little guy!
Please join us in encouraging Treysen and his momma!
