2018 Spring Minis – All Colors Photography and Prader Willi Syndrome Campaign

Spring is just around the corner and it is time to announce my 2018 Spring Minis! These were so popular last year and I can only imagine how fast they will sell out this year, specially after I share something very special about them with you guys.
Almost 4 years ago, my best friend in Brazil gave birth to a little girl. She was a preemie and there were some complications with her birth. After a couple of years and much, much work trying to figure out what she had and how to help, she was diagnosed with Prader-Willi Syndrome. You can find out more information online, but basically it is a rare genetic disorder that results in a number of physical, mental and behavioral problems. A key feature of Prader-Willi syndrome is a constant sense of hunger that usually begins at about 2 years of age.
All I can say is that I couldn’t be more proud of my friend for being an active member of the Brazilian Prader-Willi Syndrome Association, trying to bring awareness to this disorder as well as addressing the many issues related to PWS, including childhood obesity, developmental delay, psychiatric disorders, and autism spectrum disorders.
This Spring I decided to start a Prader-Willi Syndrome Campaign and all the money collected from my 1st Day of Spring Minis (studio minis) will be sent to the Brazilian Prader-Willi Syndrome Association to help them assist hundreds of families who lack access to the most basic help: diagnosis, specialized treatment, therapies, and referral to hospitals. The association was created by parents and all the money goes towards helping families affected by this disorder, research and awareness. So, this is my way of doing something to help. There are 20 spots, so let’s try to fill them up. All the extra sales from those sessions will also be sent to them. It might not be a lot, but, trust me, every penny counts and makes a huge impact on their work. Who is joining me in this campaign?
For more information, you can find the Brazilian Facebook page here, their website here, and the Prader-Willi Association in the US website here.

Now, let’s talk about the kids minis.

Like I did last year, I am splitting the sessions in two. I am bringing my flower swing again (with YELLOW flowers this time instead of pink) for the older kids, and the adorable teepee for kids 0-3 years old in my studio (see pictures below). I recommend kids 3 and under to book the studio minis for safety. The swing is cute, but not really safe for little ones.
If you have 1 child, pick one spot. If you have 2 or 3 children, please pick 2 spots. For 4 children, pick 3 spots.

$65 – one child with 3 high resolution images ($45 each additional sibling + 3 images)
Minis are 5-10 minutes long.
Appointments will be made every 10 minutes.
Spots are only guaranteed with payment.
Only kids are allowed, no adults, no pets, no exception.
