My originalContinue reading “Click with Kids: Schedule this…”

Clinic Day: Hospital Documentary Photography

It’s important that families facing challenges, particularly the caregivers, toContinue reading “Clinic Day: Hospital Documentary Photography”

Just Another Day

Life with a medical kid is interesting. There are times where our family is pretty normal, well, you know, as normal as any family is!
