Isn't She Lovely?

Tonight, a local photographer donated her time to take pictures of Celia. When BDSRA asked if they could refer Celia to the American Child Photographers Charity Guild, we thought that sounded like a nice idea, but when Amy Parrish accepted the referral, we were thrilled. Her name was familiar to us, because she has photographed friends' children. And her work speaks for itself -- you know, the whole "a picture is worth a thousand words"... It's true. Amy's are certainly remarkable. And because Celia can't speak for herself any more, Amy's pictures are such a gift.
Amy is obviously talented. But she's kind and patient, too. She didn't seem to mind at all when Celia needed to rest, or take a pacifier time-out. She didn't seem to mind wiping drool from Cel's lips. She didn't seem to mind rolling in the mulch or crouching in wet grass in an effort to capture good images. And talent aside, Amy really is just a lovely person.
So was her little red-headed subject this evening:
To see more of Amy's portrait session with Celia, please visit Amy Parrish Photography and check out her recent blog entry. And we'd be remiss not to mention that Celia's precious purple gingham dress came from Aunt Vicky, who made it for Celia using an apron that had belonged to Andy's Grandma Barb.
