Meet Brayden: Our First "Photos for Angels" Recipient






Meet Brayden! I first met him in October and just fell in love with his gorgeous eyes and smile. He is such a happy baby and has no idea he has club feet, or Giles Smith syndrome, a birth defect that affects 1 in every 1,000 live births. He has undergone several surgeries and different methods of treatment. When I first met him, his little legs were in casts, helping him correct his feet posture. He is now wearing braces, which aren't as heavy on his little legs. His mom amazes me because her husband is a member of the armed forces and has been stationed in Iraq for the majority of Brayden's life. Of course, when I met them and heard their story, I had to explain to her about our "Photos for Angels" program and offered her to be the first recipient. Because she wanted to wait for Brayden's casts to be replaced with braces, the session took place in December. Above are some of my favorite images!
