Darlene's Smiling Eyes

Yesterday was my first "Smiling Eyes" Photo shoot! Smiling Eyes is an organization I volunteer with - giving families touched by cancer a complimentary photo shoot to help ease the pain of the journey a bit. I find after spending time with people who have dealt with cancer, I wan to hug my kids a bit tighter and a bit longer and talk to my hubby more. These are the moments I want to capture for people dealing with cancer.

Darlene was a joy to photograph. Not only is she gorgeous - but so much fun! How fitting for "Smiling Eyes" that she brought along a collection of crazy glasses she collects. Her children Trevor and Jennifer were a lot of fun also and willing to do anything! The loving looks between mom and child was beautiful to watch.

Thanks for a fun afternoon!

And if you or someone you know is going through the journey of cancer - please let someone at Smiling Eyes know so you too can have a photo session! There are some great photographers signed up in different areas of Ontario!



Darlene and her adoring kids!





Jen got a piggy back from Trevor - so Darlene felt like she needed one too!!











Now I think this picture screams Smiling Eyes! Hilarious!



Darlene brought enough glasses for them all! Rachel shown here was the support person! She did the makeup and held coats - and helped make people laugh! Thanks Rachel!!



Darlene, I hope as you walk this journey that you can look back on these photos with your kids and remember all the love and support that surrounds you!
