Littlest Hero...

I have the privilege of meeting and working with some VERY special families through an organization called Inspiration Through Art (formerly Littlest Heroes Project). This week, I got the chance to play with (and photograph) a truly amazing little guy. This is Jake - a 2-and-a-half-year-old bundle of energy...full of life and a walking miracle! This sweet boy charmed it up big time for the camera...a pleasant surprise for ALL of us! :) When Jake's parents found out that he was deaf, his dad responded by saying, "What's the worst thing that could happen? So we have to look at our child when we talk to him." What a beautiful way to look at their situation! Though Jake has been through SO much in his short little life, he has managed to overcome it all with a BIG smile! And THAT is what makes this little guy one of our Littlest Heroes!! :) Here's a little sneak peek from our session. Just look at how sweet he is!! :)
