This past weekend we had the opportunity to photograph families and children staying at the Believe In Tomorrow Children's House at Johns Hopkins. Believe In Tomorrow is a non-profit that provides exceptional hospital and retreat housing services to critically ill children and their families. We have been volunteering at Believe in Tomorrow for the past year now and have been inspired by the families and children that have stayed there. During the family's stay at the house, a child in their family is being treated at Hopkins Children's Center. Some of the children are inpatient, some outpatient; some are going through a scheduled surgery and some are going through their 5th scheduled surgery; some drove to the house for a routine check-up and some flew by helicopter after a life-changing emergency; some are from a state close by and some have crossed oceans to get here! It is an amazing place and we have been blessed with the opportunity to meet so many incredibly inspiring people who are always so grateful and appreciative for the life they have been given!
With the start of our new business, we planned to add a piece of service to our business plan! (of course :) ). So, this is the start of the service portion of Elizabeth Ryan Photography. Thank you to the families who have shared their journeys with us. For the families we were able to photograph this weekend- thank you for your excitement and willingness to let us capture these images that will hopefully put a smile on your face during the toughest of times!
