“Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all […]
Amanda, I think I found you on FB nearly a year ago and I’ve been following Chance’s story since then. I cried when I read this. Happy tears. :} Happy birthday to your son! I know that he’ll walk someday because he has an entire family behind him encouraging him. <3 Keep your posts coming. I love hearing about how he's doing and how strong he's becoming. 
You have a Beautiful Family! Chance is a precious little guy! Glad his first Birthday was Great! And your photos are great too! So happy for all of you!
Super cute! Super Chance is one awesome little guy. I’m glad he could enjoy a Yum Yum Cupcake for his 1st Birthday! You need to share it with them on Twitter for sure!

Happy 1st Birthday Chance

Beautiful!!!
Please keep your positive outlook for Chance. His future is wide open and filled with many possibilities. I know because 27 years ago my son, Ryan, was born with Spina Bifida. He is currently a PhD student at Loyola University in Chicago. His goal is to be a college professor. When he was born they told us he would have learning disabilities – wwll he has proven many people wrong over the years. His best attribute is his positive attitude, he lets nothing keep him down!
I have clung to Jerimiah 29:ll throughout Ryan’s life – “for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord . . . plans to give you hope and a future”
“When you learn, teach, when you get, give.” ~Maya Angelou It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly four years since I began this little journey of photographing newborns. What began as just a personal interest and hobby has certainly come a long way and I’ve learned so much about photography and newborns over the […]

I sure do adore my Valencia family and I have to admit I’ve come to lose track of how many I’ve done photos for that have some sort of connection to the college. The Bosley’s and Shephard’s are certainly two of the most memorable families I’ve had the opportunity to spend time with over the […]
