A brave boy and his baby sister...





Here are just a few shots (lots more to come) of a very brave boy named Giovanni! G is fighting Leukemia; Cancer and at the young age of just five years old- he is handling it with amazing courage and strength and so far he is winning but not without some tough times for this sweet boy and his equally strong parents; Bret & Suzanna as well as his angelic Baby Sister Isabella just three months old. Needless to say, this family is going through a very rough patch. Right now, neither parent is employed and as you can imagine...this family needs our help. I am blessed to know them through a close friend of mine, Lisa...the sister to Giovanni's Dad and Aunt to the children. Last weekend, I got to take some beautiful photos of the kids and here are just a few for now. I want to also include the link to G's website where you can also donate to his family for his care- they are in need and those of us that are fortunate and have the resources to help them out just should...period! So, please enjoy the photos and then click the link to his website where you can offer to donate any amount of money you can to help this special family in need out, please!?

Melinda, To simply say thank you for your generosity is not enough, but I'll start there. Reading what you wrote here brought tears to my eyes, that you just met us and that you have taken such care and time for us means more than I can say. Thank you for capturing a few precious moments of my babies, Giovanni and Isabella.
