Part II Levi Family {Littlest Heroes Project}

LHP

I had a lot of fun at my Littlest Heroes with the Levi Family at Hazelwild Farms in Fredericksburg, Va last weekend! I have so many favorites from this session so I figured why not share more?!? Enjoy the slideshow below!

Oh and how fun is this--- we framed a horse *LOL*

Meet the Levi Family! -Littlest Heroes Project

The Levi Family!


I was contacted a couple months ago by the Littlest Heroes Project to photograph beautiful Mackenzie; a sweet little 5 almost 6 year old (oops sorry mom!) with a tremendous story. In 2006 Mackenzie was diagnosed with Medullablastoma. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy and 3 stem cell transplants Mackenzie has no sign of a tumor! I was VERY blessed to spend a couple VERY HOT but, fun hours with Mackenzie and her family!

Brian, the kids and I headed out early Saturday morning to meet and photograph this little angel and her family at Hazelwild Farm in Fredericksburg, Va. Hazelwild is where both girls, Mackenzie and Grace attend school. I was REALLY hopeful to beat the heat... ha, not so much! I don't remember the last time I sweat so much! *LOL* Gross! I hate sweating except maybe when I'm working out! :) Anyways, we had a lot of fun! I got to not only SEE but TOUCH a pony! You could only imagine my excitement/nerves when one of the ladies from the farm introduced me to Chloe an 1800lb HORSE! Holy Horse she was GINORMOUS- soo cool! Thank you Levi Family for this experience with me!!!

I cant say enough about the family either! They were incredibly sweet! I'm always a little... hmm, nervous? meeting a family for the first time. Right from the git-go I felt comfortable with the family. Mackenzie and Grace are 2 little girls with such personality! Hehe, I felt looking back at the photos that I got a lot of pictures of the back of the girls/families heads... but, I love these shots! And I LOVE the ones of the girls actually looking at me even more! :) Thanks so much for the experience! And thank you so much for taking my family and I out for lunch! You all are so sweet! I hope that you enjoy your sneak peek!

I'm pretty sure that this IS the good life!


I am just terrible about blogging on here!!! I'm sorry! Brian, the kids and I just got back from a great 4th of July weekend visiting with family and friends in New York! We had the absolute worse trip back... Well, I suppose it could have been worse for instance if our car died and didn't restart after sitting in standstill traffic for nearly 2 hrs... Yah, that would have been worse. Needless to say pretty much as soon as we got back we went to the dealership and traded in our 2004 Chevy Trailblazer for a brand new 2010 Dodge Journey! :) Ohhh its so nice! AND the best part of it is, I don't have to worry about the car dying! It's really nice! I LOVE blasting the music and singing my heart out! Ohh and the best part is my kids love to sing their little hearts out too! :) :) I am blessed!!!

On another note! I have my 2nd Littlest Hero session this weekend! The hubby kids and I are thinking about heading to Virginia tomorrow night and making a fun weekend of it! This session is going to be awesome on so many levels! We get to celebrate a beautiful little hero and her family AND I get to be the closest I've ever been to a horse! :) It's going to be great! I'm praying for good weather... Oh boy, I just checked my weather bug and it shows thunder and lightning on Saturday... yikes I better watch that closely!  


Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Stay tuned to a sneak peek from this session! :) :)
