ACOCP [Canberra Child Photographer]

January 15, 2010

Recently, I became a member of ACOCP, an amazing 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.

Before Christmas, I had the absolute pleasure in meeting and photographing the most beautiful Canberra family.  A family blessed with 3 amazing children.   A family full of so much fun and love.

I feel so honoured to be able to share a tiny part of this family story.  Their middle child, a beautiful little girl, suffers from Infantile Battens Disease.  She is now in the final stages of the disease.

I wanted to share the story of this last image.  This beautiful quilt belongs to Chloe.  The little photo in the middle is actually sewn onto the back of the quilt, and is an image of her smiling - a beautiful healthy little 18 month old girl.

For those of you that know of a family that could benefit from the services of ACOCP, the ACT co-ordinator is Natalie Bice.  Please spread the word.
