"Shopping for kindergarten supplies one day and diagnosed with Leukemia the next. Our beautiful, vibrant 5-year old Phoebe has cancer," - Phoebe's mom (September 2015)  I remember watching my mom die in 2006 from Lung Cancer. (She never smoked, by the way...she was a stay at home mom, died 5 weeks after diagnosis)  What she endured in a 5-week span was more than someone with cancer would endure in a 2 year period.  The meds, the nausea, the hair loss, the aches and pains, the fear.....then her her final day.  People often ask me why I volunteer my time to "Pediatric Cancer" research, activities, events, fundraisers etc....and my answer is this....because I HAVE to!  I have three beautiful little girls, that are healthy.  Something I pray for everyday.  But "what if....." Some people I know....live the "what if...." It happened to them.... And if I can help them cope in some small way; if I can make someone smile just for a minute, to escape the horror of what they are going through, I will. My gift to her was a photo shoot. A magical, fairytale-like photo shoot. I made her dress, I called a local vintage supply warehouse (The Fox & The Finch Vintage Rentals, called on some friends to help (Kristine Ortiz and Veronica Caggiano)...  Meet Phoebe.Here's her shoot and BTS footage and pics. ...

I'm happy we got Abby's shoot in before the flowers in the gardens begin to fade! It's glorious at The Allentown Rose Garden this time of year and it makes for the most beautiful of backdrops.  Enjoy Abby's photos!!

Happy Friday!! Here's a re-cap from a Head Shot Shoot I did last week.   She walked into the studio and I immediately admired her young, smooth, creamy skin! She sat at the make up counter (with the amazing Alisha Nycole) and they went to work.  30-mins later she shy-ly got behind the lights and knocked it out of the park!! Then proceeded to tell me she was 41! WHOA!!! WHAT?? No way!!!  Here is Kathryn!!! (Threw in some fun shots as well!!) photographer:Elaine Zelkermake-up by:www.alishanycole.com    Have a great weekend!! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my blog on the right! :) Elaine Elaine
