I love my shoots with this family.  This year it was the usual time to do our shoot but it was also I think a bit of a therapy for this family to have some fun time together and document some things that were happening. I’ll explain in a few images.

First, adorable CC.  She is such an adorable, fun and loving little girl.  Just what her mama has needed these past few months.


AJ has been having a tough go of things the past year.  AJ was diagnosed with Nephrotic Syndrome/Minimal Change Disease in October of last year.
It is a chronic kidney disease where things don’t get processed correctly and the body leaks protein through urine that should be in the blood.  That’s the short of it, the very very short of it.

Such a hard thing for a little three year old to be going through.  Its a very rare disease that is not hereditary and it continues to have the doctors stumped. Needless to say its been a hard year for these guys.  AJ has to have his urine tested every morning. Frequent weekly/daily visits to CHOP for ouchies and tests.  He has gotten used to taking his many medications daily, that used to be like torture to give him.  He now takes them one by one by himself.
The little guy is still a fun loving little boy.  He wants to dress like Dad, be like dad as often as possible.
We decided to go out to the park for some fun.
Breaks my heart, a little meltdown being comforted by mom.
With his super hero’s he is back to happy.

Dad and the kiddos.
The misters were turned on at the park.  So stipped down to diapers and batman undies the kids went in to play.
Love this.
AJ was nice to share batman with his little sister.
Wet misty children.
adorable.
Love the one of Dad and AJ.
Run super hero run! 🙂
Favorite. Cuddly, lovey CC.
AJ played a while in his batmans.  It was really funny when he wanted to play with another little girl at the play ground, him still in the batmans, but she was not impressed with his sense of fashion.  I believe she said “ooooh gross, get away from me!” And AJ proceeded to chase her around the play ground like any young boy should. It was fantastic.
Love love love. Sweet little AJ.
After the park we went over to their favorite fountain to splash and make wishes.
Such a good big brother.
Little AJ I hope you feel better soon!
Be sure to check out the slideshow for more images. It was great to see you guys! I hope they figure this thing out for you very soon. Much love.
