I am so excited to present.... Victoria's Cute Kiddo Contest!!!!









So Who is Victoria?

Victoria is an amazing little girl who has overcome more obstacles in her 4 years than most us will ever have to encounter in a lifetime. Victoria was born prematurely at 35 weeks and diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) when she was just one month old. This tough little cookie made it through these challenges but when she was 3 years old she learned that her heart was damaged from the chemo treatments that had saved her life. Just two months ago she received her new heart and is doing wonderful! She is laughing and playing and starting to get to enjoy the things that we all take for granted. Although they never complain the medical burden from the past four years is enormous and has really taken its Toll on the Waters Family.
I am so thrilled to be able to contribute something to this amazing family. Craig and Cyndi are two of the strongest most amazing people I have ever met.

Happy First Birthday Baby!! - Mooresville NC Child Photography

I can't believe an entire year has past since I met the beautiful family. Some of the images from their maternity session can actually be found on my website! When I did little B's Newborn Pictures I was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop! LOL. Now our two little ones are just 2 weeks apart and they even attend gymboree together. My little Sammi could not stop looking at B's pics while I was editing these. I think she recognized her buddy. :) Sweet B was so tolerant throughout his session. I had such a blast! Thank You for letting me create these memories Megan and Alex! I can not wait to show you the rest! ;)

Waiting for Baby - Maternity Photographer Davidson, NC

I could not have had more fun with these proud parents to be! The love between them just radiated from them and came through beautifully in their maternity pics. Here are just a few of my favorites from our downtown session. Their baby girl is a very lucky girl indeed to be part of such a loving, sweet family. I can not wait to meet her in just a few weeks.
