A small girl with a big heart! ~ Ottawa Child Photographer

By daniellelynnphotography | Published: March 22, 2011

A few weeks back through the amazingness of Twitter (yes, it really is amazing, someone please remind me to dedicate an entire post on Twitter some day) I heard about an 8 year old girl named Morgan. According to Morgan’s website, she was on a mission. A mission to cut off her hair and donate it for Cancer. That’s right guys. She’s 8 years old. Oh, and not only was SHE donating her hair for Cancer, so were 15+ girls that Morgan has organized via her hockey team as well as a few other girls from the Cornwall area! This was how they chose the name “Morgan’s Mile”. The ultimate goal of this mission? For these young girls is to donate a mile of hair for Cancer.

Do you have goosebumps yet?!

So I got in touch with Morgan and her Mom via Twitter (you can follow Morgan on Twitter here) and offered to follow their journey with my camera. I thought what an amazing gift this would be to Morgan for doing something this selfless, and what a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness for this cause, as well as for what Morgan is doing! I’m always looking for ways to give back within my community, especially when they are stories as awesome as this!

So I met with Morgan and her Mom this past Friday morning in Manotick. It was a cold, windy, dreary morning but we were determined to make the best of it! During our time together I noticed that Morgan is a sweet, very unassuming little girl. To meet her, you wouldn’t imaging she had big dreams of doing anything like this. I asked her whether or not she was scared to cut off all of her hair and she replied with a “YES!” but ultimately, I think Morgan really understands what this small amount of hair could mean to someone who may have lost all of theirs to something as scary as Cancer. A pretty brave kid if you ask me!!

These are a few ‘before’ pictures of Morgan with her long hair. In April I will also be following Morgan (and her 15+ friends) to have their hair cut off and will also do a few ‘after’ photos with her and (hopefully) the others as well so watch for that!!

If you would like to help Morgan reach her goal of raising $500 for the Canadian Cancer Society, please do so by clicking here. Her plan is to cut off at least 8 inches of hair, however if she reaches the $500 goal, she’ll go for a full 12 inches!!! It takes a lot of guts to cut off all of your hair guys!! Please consider helping her out with any amount that you can!! :)

Ottawa Childrens Photographer ~ My Girl

By daniellelynnphotography | Published: May 18, 2010

It is SO hard for me to believe that my baby girl is turning THREE on the 27th of May!! It seems like just yesterday that we received the call that we had waited so long to hear: “We have a referral for your family and its a beautiful 6 week old baby girl!“. As long as I live I will never forget the warm rush of emotion I felt the first time I saw her face. Those big brown eyes and those gorgeous lips – she was sheer perfection and it was as if I had known this teeny tiny little baby, living half the world away, my whole life.

Today I look at that same sweet face in complete disbelief. HOW were we so lucky to have fate bring us such an amazing daughter who is just the most perfect fit for our family? I can say with 100% honesty that there is not a single day that passes that I am not grateful for her being in our lives. She is more than just my daughter. She has taught me patience, empathy, kindness, selflessness, humor and how to be the best person that I can possibly be in all aspects of my life. All things that I did not know to the same depth or level that I know them now. The joy that she brings to our lives is more than we could have ever imagined and I am forever grateful to the wonderful, strong woman who has allowed us the privilege of parenting her baby girl.

Both of my children are SO difficult to photograph. You’d think that because they have a photographer as a Mom they would be used to it, but its the exact opposite! Its HARD work to get my kiddos to cooperate when I have a camera in my hand so believe me when I tell you – I REALLY worked for these! LOL! I have tried to do my best to capture each of my children’s age milestones (and other memorable times) with at least a photo or two. I was one of those kids growing up that never had a lot of pictures of myself or my family (growing up I’m not sure we EVER had a family portrait come to think of it!) and I really don’t want it to be the same for my kids. Capturing these small moments and milestones now many not seem like much now, but I know first hand how valuable those will be to my children for years to come.

Okay, without further blabbering on…here’s my girl!!

I’m pretty sure that I will be having this last one printed on a B-I-G canvas for our living room!!!!
