Thankful: Tiny Light Mariah | Victoria BC Photographer

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today is a day  to give thanks for the many blessings we have.  Admittedly I have had a very unlucky 2013, and have been having difficulty appreciating every little blessing in my life.  I was going through some really difficult personal issues when I met and photographed Mariah and her family.  Mariah is a beautiful 10 year old little girl who is full of spunk.  She also has cerebral palsy and epilepsy.  She has survived more hardships in her ten years than most of us will face in a lifetime.  She may be tiny for her age, but she is definitely full of pre-teen attitude, and her spirit is huge.  Thank you so much Mariah for letting me be a part of your life.

May 13, 2015 update:  Mariah grew her angel wings toady.  She will be missed by so many.  My heart aches for her family.  Please say a little prayer for them.

There are many children and families like Mariah’s.  These Tiny Lights remind us of all that is good in life, and reminds us to count each day as a blessing.  Please visit the Tiny Light Foundation to learn more about how photographers and these special families are being paired up to create memories.  I am so honoured to be a photographer with them.
