Seniors: Gorgeous Amanda

April 29, 2009

Oh sweet Amanda!  This cutie was so sweet and said “sorry!” so much because she thought she wasn’t doing it right.  Obviously she was because she looks stunning!  What a beautiful girl!

Oh Saturday and Matt are so adorable together!  I couldn’t keep these two off each other :)   I had so much fun at this shoot and these two made it so easy.  I have to say, my favorite photo is of Saturday on Matt’s car.  Matt said, “There are my 2 girls,”  while Saturday said, “We are selling the car.  He is trading it in for a wife!”  I loved photographing this couple and Congratulations!

Baby: We all Love Lucy

April 9, 2009
I want to share a story that has touched my heart in so many ways.  I was contacted by a sweet woman who lives in California, who loved my work and recognized my passion for capturing the life in ones eyes.  She told me this sweet, but sad story.

Her friend had just found out that their sweet 5 month old Lucy had an autosomal terminal disease called SMA – Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and had a maximum life expectancy of 18 months.  She then told me about this little angel Lucy and her crystal blue, sapphire eyes.  She is breathtaking.  The more I learned about this sweet family, the more I yearned to do something.  The thing I love most about photography is being able to preserve memories and knowing that they can last forever.  What more could this family want than to see beautiful pictures of their daughter forever no matter what happens.

It just so happened, that this week, this sweet family came to Utah to visit family and I was able to photograph this little princess.  I was so touched when I met her.   She seemed to know so much behind those eyes, even though she couldn’t move her body the way I knew she wanted to.  She touched my soul.  Her sweet mother had strength way beyond my own, and I enjoyed meeting her so much.  Lucy’s sweet brother and sister love her so much as well, and know that their sister is special.  While editing these photos, I cried about the half the time because when I looked into her eyes, I just felt love.  I’m sure you will feel the same when you look at these photos.  She is truly an angel, sent here to bless her family, and all those around her in so many ways.  I haven’t looked at my son the same way since meeting Lucy.  I am so grateful for him and what he brings to my life.  Life is a gift.

I want to do more for this incredible family.  I want to raise money so I can get them as many prints, enlargements, canvases, and books as they want of their little sweet Lucy.  If this story has touched your heart like it has mine and you would like to make a donation, you can mail it to me at: 135 S 300 E in Pleasant Grove, Ut 84062, or if you have a paypal account, you can donate by clicking on the link below.  Just title the payment… I love you Lucy.  Please also show your support to this family by leaving your comments below.

By the way, I didn’t do ANYTHING to her eyes that I didn’t do to the rest of the photo.  These are the real color of her eyes.  Stunning Sweet Lucy!

Lindsay: I know this baby and this family personally. These pictures are so great and made me cry too! You should see her in real life. She is absolutely precious, and the photographer is right about her eyes--there's something unexplainable about them.

Shauna: Those pictures capture little Lucy perfectly. Her eyes are amazing! That is the nicest thing that you're doing for them, and how nice of Cherisse's friend to think of the idea.

Spring: Beautiful. When I saw that first pictures the tears started to come. I love how you captured so many different expressions. That last one is just precious. We love you Lucy and family!

Victoria: Your photos are absolutely stunning and this is such a wonderful gift for Lucy's family. I know because my daughter also has SMA. Another really important way to help is by signing an online petition in honor of Lucy. The petition is to urge Congress to support SMA research because even though there is currently nothing parents can do, researcher believe a cure is within a few years time IF they receive adequate funding. Please honor Lucy and sign in support at www.PetitionToCureSMA.com so no other family has to suffer.

Andreasens: Lucy is beautiful. We know this family personally they are such a blessing and touch everyone. I wish you the best and your in our prayers.

Kari Hennefer: Gorgeous, sparkling eyes! What a spirit these children have inside their little bodies. Such a beautiful family inside and out.

Kristine Kiholm: The starshine in Lucy's eyes hold a universe of wisdom and sweetness in them. Great capture Mandi! What an angel
