I'm going to share with you something personal - and hopefully, you'll get something out of it too.

In April of 2009, my daughter Casey got very sick. She was finally diagnosed with Type I or Juvenile Diabetes. Learning about this incurable autoimmune disease and helping Casey adjust to the lifestyle habits she'll need to stay healthy has been a long journey this past year. I'm thankful she's doing well and her doctors diagnosed and treated her condition early. Although there's no cure for Juvenile Diabetes, with good care and careful monitoring Casey's diabetes is under control.
Strangely enough, not long after Casey was diagnosed, my assistant photographer Jenifer learned that her 15 year old son, Tony too had an illness and was diagnosed with epilepsy - another incurable disease.
Insulin is NOT a cure for diabetes and pills are NOT a cure for epilepsy.
Both of our children are managing quite nicely. But that got me to thinking about the many other children out there and their parents also dealing with life-threatening illnesses. And I wanted to do something special for them.
We'll donate a FREE portrait sitting fee and FREE 8x10 portraits to any family with a special needs child. You are not obligated to purchase anything further!

As moms of kids with incurable illnesses, we know how disheartening it can be. We'd love to give you something special to help you celebrate the beauty of your child. I believe GOD has given me a gift as a photographer and I work each and every day to improve that gift. If I can give back, give just one family a portrait of their sick child and in the process help bring awareness to whatever illness that child may have then that is what I'll do! That's what Project CIP is all about!
Also, as a way to bring awareness to Juvenile Diabetes and Epilepsy as well as other childhood illness we will be sharing with you some images we have captured of our children in recent months and tell you more about both illnesses.
