I met these two amazing families by joining Dance Marathon at Florida State University, which raises money for Children's Miracle Network and FSU College of Medicine's Pediatric Outreach Programs. I fell in love with this organization, its cause, and the families it supports throughout my four years in college and have continued to participate into post-grad. These two families each have a child that is impacted by pediatric illness, but what makes them special is the love they share. They have become an extension of my own family so I was thrilled when they asked me to take their photos.
The Buths
Caden and Cailani are definitely some of the cutest kids around. When we were wrapping up at this spot, Caden said "Wait! I want to do one hugging and kissing Cailani."
The Pattersons
These three kids definitely know how to have some fun whether it's playing some sports or making you their "horsey" and running around with them on your back.
Let's not forget about their awesome parents! Just like their kids, they know how to have a good time!
As you can see these families have my heart. No matter what's going on in their lives they are always there for each other and those around them. Love you guys!
