This weekend, I had the privilege of meeting Ronan and his parents. Ronan has just about the coolest glasses ever and appreciates naps as much as I do. His parents contacted me through an organization called Inspiration Through Art (formerly Littlest Heroes Project)….you should check them out, they are doing awesome things for kids with serious illnesses and lifelong disabilities. The extra cool thing is that the founder was only 17 when she started the whole thing. At 17, I was still ditching class and living on candy and Dr. Pepper.
Ronan is a pretty tough, little guy. He has been proving that since the day he was born. Rather than me try to explain, you should check out his video.
Ronan had gotten up early, and was pretty sleepy for our session…..and he found watching the ferris wheel waaaaay more interesting than anything I was doing (who wouldn’t?)…..but he was a trooper. After a little cat nap, he was ready to impress, blowing raspberries and sitting up all by himself.
Aaaaand……by the time a lot of you read this, it will be Ronan’s first birthday! Happy birthday, Ronan!
Betsy, thank you so much for contacting me for this session. It was a pleasure meeting your family. 🙂

This is a great photo “montage” –I love everything about it. I especially love the upbeat, positive message. thank you so much for sharing this. Also, I wonder if Ronan’s parents can be contacted? I am a Board Member for the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation, Inc and would love to be in touch with them.
thank you so much for this gorgeous piece of work.
