Tanner- 2010 TCHS Senior | West Virginia Senior Photographer
We finally had a beautiful snowy day to take Tanners senior pictures. It has been such a nasty winter here this year, and we’ve had to reschedule it a few times. While it was still cold and we had to wade in snow up to our thighs in some places, it was worth it.
Here’s a few of Mr. Tanner.
{heavy heart}
Today I’m posting with a very heavy heart. Little Miss Kameron passed away this morning around 2 a.m. She is now pain-free, and most importantly HOME!
She was a true blessing to be around and I am so blessed to have been in her life even though it was not long enough.
Thank you to all that was praying for her- I know her family appreciates it. Please continue to pray for them to give them strength in this time of need.
Here is a slideshow of this wonderful family. KAMERON
And another picture of the beautiful, strong Fortney Family

{please pray} West Virginia Photographer
A few weeks ago I photographed an extraordinary young girl and family. I’m sure all teachers can say that they’ve had one student that changes them. A student that is just a joy to be around and teach. A student that is eager to learn, kind to all her friends, and respectful to adults. A student that in their mind is their “favorite”. Well Kameron was mine!! I probably shouldn’t admit that publicly- but it’s the truth. This little girl has so much to offer it’s crazy. From the moment she walked in the classroom, to the moment she left, she always had a smile on her face. I don’t think I ever heard her complain about anyone, or anything I asked her to do.
Anyway, before Christmas, Kameron was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. She has been at the Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Oh, where she had a bone marrow transplant. Her younger sister Jillian was a perfect match.
She has been doing great and recovering from the procedures. But today wasn’t a good day. She’s had some complications and is retaining fluid in her mid-section. She has just been moved back to the PICU.
I’m hoping all who read my blog will add Kameron to their prayer list!! Say an extra prayer for her today. God is great, and he will heal her, we all just need to have faith!
Thanks
February 21, 2010 - 2:50 am - I'm sorry to hear and will pray for her and her family I have been wondering how they are doing.
February 20, 2010 - 11:26 pm - prayers for a beautiful girl. may God heal her quickly.
February 20, 2010 - 6:52 pm - More prayers headed this families way. God is good and she will recover.
February 20, 2010 - 4:25 pm - My heart goes out to this family...prayers for a quick recovery!
February 20, 2010 - 2:38 pm - Prayers said for sure! What a gorgeous girl, I hope she is on the mend very quickly!!!
Alyssa- 2010 TCHS Senior | West Virginia Senior Photographer
Alyssa wanted to try some modeling type of shots and I wanted to practice my high key, so we made a perfect pair. I love working with her- she’s very natural in front of the camera even though she is shy.
Here’s a few from our mini session.

Fortney Family- 2010 | West Virginia Family Photographer
This was such a special session for me. Kameron is one of my 4th grade students. Before Christmas, she was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. Her younger sister Jillian is a 100% match for a bone marrow transplant. God is Good!
Kameron is so full of life, caring and smart and loving. She is an absolute blessing to be around. Her smile and laugh is contagious!
She is leaving on Monday to go have her procedures done, and I was SO happy to be able to capture some pictures of her and her family before they left.
Scott, Rita, Kameron and Jillian- thank you so much for coming down. I am so glad I got to see you guys before you left.
Kameron- you are a beautiful young girl. Stay strong- you have alot of people praying for you! God isn’t finished with you yet! He has big plans for both you and Jillian. I expect you back in school next year young lady.LOL

I agree, God is good - it was 2.5 years ago that I was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia - so I know how important it is for a perfect match donor to be available.

Newborn Casting Call
It’s no secret that I love photographing newborns. Spending a few hours with a new baby and capturing the beauty and innocence of a new life is simple amazing. Lately I’ve been
itching to take that even further and focus more on the relationships and connections in the new family. To give myself the opportunity to experiment a little and give some new ideas a try, I’m officially announcing a casting call for models!!
HERE’S THE SCOOP:
- These sessions will be geared toward capturing 2-3 specific setups/poses. If time permits and baby is cooperative others may be attempted.
-The session will be free of charge and take place at my studio- savings of $100 right off the bat.
-Participants will receive a complimentary 8×10 print. Additional prints and products will be available for purchase at regular prices.
-A model release will be required allowing the use of images on my website, marketing materials, etc.
-Standard studio policies apply.
SO WHAT TYPE OF MODELS AM I LOOKING FOR?
-A FIT dad and mom-to-be whose baby is due in February or March for family portraits with their newborn (UNDER 10 days of age).
-A fit mom-to-be due in February or March willing to be photographed with her newborn (UNDER 10 days of age).
-A fit dad-to-be whose baby is due in February or March willing to be photographed with his newborn. (UNDER 10 days of age)
-Twins or triplets due in February, March or April to be photographed within 7 days of release from the hospital.
Please contact me for more information or if you or someone you know may be interested.
NOTE: Sessions must be scheduled before baby’s arrival- the sooner the better!
