Last year, about this same time of year, we had a ‘Pay it Forward’ Contest. We invited anyone to submit a story of someone they know or know about that has been going through rough times and could use a free photo session and package. We ended up selecting two families as winners. One of the families we selected hasn’t been able to set up a time for a session due to their little one breaking his bones so often. And the mom had hoped to get some shots while his casts were off.
Tollsyn, the baby boy, is 16 months old now and the only time he had any photographs done was when he was 3 months old. They were done in a studio and the session didn’t go well. I’m sure that is a tough thing to go through.
To see Danylle & Jeremy’s family love for all of their children…and their patience could be a reminder to us all about what is important in life.
They have 4 children, Collyn, Ryllan, Brynn and Tollsyn. Tollsyn is the youngest and has Osteogenises Imperfecta which is a type of brittle bone disease. His bones are so fragile he can’t lay on his belly…he would break his ribs. The kids obviously have to be very gentle with him and Tollsyn has to be easy on himself as he has broken his own bones before.
Needless to say they have their hands full. But they don’t act any differently than any other regular family and have a go with the flow attitude about it all and such a positive outlook.
I wish you guys all the best! I hope I was able to get some photographs that captured Tollsyn and his ‘bigger than life’ personality!
Enjoy the preview we will have the rest up soon!
