Audrey's First Haircut

First haircuts are pretty sentimental, especially when you let that hair grow out! A great way to make it easier and to give the cut more meaning, is to donate it! We donated Audrey's locks to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, just like we did when we cut Adelaide's hair for the first time. But a quick google search and you will see that they aren't they only place that takes hair for wigs! 

If you are thinking of donating your hair, stop thinking about it and DO IT!! It takes about 5 or 6 donations to make ONE wig. You will not regret it. And if your child is making this brave and amazing choice to donate their hair, contact me and I will come document their experience for FREE!! That's right, I will waive the session fee which is a $250 value! Now go make that appointment!! Not sure where to go? Well, we go to The Loft on Queen Street. It's our favourite!!

And here, watch this video to see what happens when you donate your hair!

Jack

I absolutely LOVE when people welcome me in to their home and their neighbourhood! Nothing personalizes your photos more then using your own home as the "studio"! Many people think that their place wouldn't look good, but that's not true at all. I can honestly find the perfect spots in any home, and know exactly how to take the picture so that your family stays the main focus, and not the dents in the wall, or the mess in the corner, or the dust on the shelves. Hey, I know what life with kids is like. Have you been following me on Instagram or Facebook? haha. 

Well check out these picture I took of Jack and his family! The one thing you may notice right away is the honesty in the pictures. Most children feel more comfortable and more like themselves in their own spaces, so they are able to let loose so we can grab those genuine smiles and those genuine moments shared between the family instead of dangling a rattle for eye contact and a smile. There's no faking here. Just real life moments. 

If you are interested in setting up a photo session, have a snoop around my site and contact me so I can send you my packages and prices. 

Adelaide's First Haircut

We finally did it! Adelaide had her first official haircut at the age of 4! Of course we had to document it!! We were able to cut enough to donate! She is so happy that she can pass along her hair to a child who has lost theirs. It really gives meaning to an emotional experience making it much easier to let that hair go! What an adorable experience it was! I brought her to The Loft on Queen St where she was treated like a little Queen. It was too cute. I'll let these (unedited) pictures tell the story! Just wait until you get to the bottom to see the results!!

We followed a hair donation through the Wigs For Kids process to find out.

They rely on the hair donations and financial support of people like you.
