On Sunday I was lucky enough to meet Neil and his family for my first ACOCP session. Neil is a 2yr old boy diagnosed with a rare respiratory disease, he is currently permanently ventilated in order for him to breath.

What a pleasure it was to photograph Neil and his family. Neil was such a little doll and I was very flattered when his father commented that he has never seen Neil smile as much as he did when I talked to him. Thank You for allowing me to capture these images for you. I hope you enjoy this slide show as much as I enjoyed making it for you.

The Australian Community of Child Photographers  is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner.

What an  honour it is to say that I have  recently been accepted as a photographer for the ACOCP.  I am proud to be a member of such an amazing organisation. The week before last I headed up to Sydney to attend their AGM and recieved my members pack. I look forward to starting and hope I am able to providing cherished memories for these families.
