Yesterday was my turn to be the Smiling Eyes photographer at the Ronald McDonald house in Toronto and I was excited to give these families and their children a few minutes of photo-fun! First up? Zachary, big sister Alyssa and super nice parents Paul and Anita. I feel so privileged to have taken your photos and send healing wishes your way… Enjoy this sneak peek of our few moments together.
Before I got there, the family was in the Craft Room so Zachary could have a snack and Alyssa could channel some of her creativity. Boy, that girl sure loves to paint! I love how the RMH has a unique approach to art. Syringe painting anyone? No worries… I kept my camera out of the line of paint-fire, although I can’t say the same for my face! Melissa (in the photo with Alyssa) is a Certified Child Life Specialist at the Ronald McDonald House and I know the families there completely appreciate her services.
Any photographer out there knows how curious children are. Heck, EVERYBODY out there should know this. Alyssa really wanted to take a picture with my camera so I let her. She did a pretty good job, huh?!
I’ll leave you with one last photo of little Zachary. He has the most edible cheeks and beautiful long eyelashes. Hugs to you little guy!
Holly..these are great shots and this is a wonderful family. Our whole town is hoping for a speedy recovery for Zach.
