Little neuroblastoma warrior. Amelia Island children photographer. Gold Hope project. Baby girl and family on the Omni Resort Beach Florida
Last year I was honored to be chosen as one of many Gold Hope Project photographers.
The Gold Hope Project is a registered 501(c)(3) non profit organization. This is a group of photographers aiming to gift families battling a pediatric cancer diagnoses free portrait session for their little warriors.
Many families with ill children are emotionally, physically and finanicially strapped; it is the heart of The Gold Hope Project to take at least one worry off their shoulders and gift them something magical – the smilies of their children frozen in time.
The Gold Hope Project’s goal is to make sure that these already over-burdened families have an everlasting documentation of the joy and whimsy of their children while simultaneously raising awareness of and funds for pediatric oncology research and treatment.
When this amazing family reached out to me, I knew I wanted to do anything to help them. I have two children on my own and I know too well, how it feels to be terrified for their health. I can only imagine what all pediatric cancer families are going through.
We met at Omni Resort and from the first second I lay my eyes on this beautiful girl, my heart melted. This little precious child went through so much already but she is one of the strongest humans I know!
Just listen to what her mom has to say about her daughter’s story:
Eleanor Paige is nothing but joy. She smiles and laughs all the time. Honestly, she is content when just spending time with her family. She loves going to the beach.
Eleanor was diagnosed in March 2017 when she was 3 months old. She was unusually irritable which brought us to take her to the pediatrician and her diagnosis of Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. She had 2 rounds of chemo and was put on observation. We just found out the cancer has spread to her bone.
This has been quite the journey. We began the parenthood journey, and shortly after entered the pediatric cancer world. We feel so Next week we hope to spend the week making memories and cherishing the time together before beginning this new treatment. Wth all our hearts, we hope to capture these special moments as a family.
