Praying For Beau

RIP Beau.. 25-04-2009

Rachel Richter, photographed baby Beau in October 2008 on behalf of the Australian Charity of Child Photographers.
Beau has Type 1 SMA Babies diagnosed with SMA typically do not live past 12 months of age
You can visit his Facebook page here.
Beau is 10.5 months old and really struggling, Beau lost his battle this morning

Rachel was/is organizing a gallery filled with “I’m praying for Beau” photos.

Here’s where you come in…. (from Rachel's blog)

Take a photo that includes the words “I’m praying for Beau”. The creativity is up to you.
Your photo to represent you or your family or your home etc. I want to get photos from all over Australia…the world.
You could have your child hold up the words on a sign. You could write the words in the sand. Your could draw them with chalk on the concrete.
You could sky-write in a plane….okay, maybe not, but you get the idea
Your photo does not have to be a work of art - it’s the thought that counts.
If you could PLEASE spare the time to take a photo, I would appreciate it greatly.
You can e-mail your photo to - rachelrichter@optushome.com.au or upload direct to Beau's Facebook page -here

From our family to yours,

Mel

Update on Baby James (and Miss Sara)....

To say that we have had a few requests for updates on Sara and the bubs, would be an understatement... Above is James-hasn't he grown, isn't he adorable.. Oh, Sara is doing well - busy as usual (you can catch great tips and tricks on Photography by Sara in Scrapbooking Memories) we hope to see Sara back on board teaching in June.. But before then, keep popping back, as we have a few bits n pieces to share...

Cheers
