Sisters Second Donation

I'm very proud of my little ladies. They both just made their second hair donation to Pantene Beautiful Lengths who help turn hair donations in to free real-hair wigs for women fighting cancer! But they certainly aren't the only ones collecting hair for wigs. A quick google search will show options that are open to you based on your location! If you are thinking of cutting your hair, considering donating it! All you need is at least 6- 9 inches depending on where you're donating! And if you are in Toronto, I offer free sessions to those who donate!! 

Here's Audrey and Adelaide before they got their hair cut at The Loft on Queen Street where they were treated like Queens. Scroll down to see the results!

Audrey and Adelaide donated a total of 6 ponytails. But remember, that is not enough for a wig because it takes an average of 20 ponytails to make one wig, which is the equivalent to about 5 donations! 

Watch what happens when you donate your hair.

It's hard to let go of long hair when you have grown it for so long. Especially if it your child's first haircut. But donating hair gives those emotional haircuts more meaning and more purpose making it easier to cut. Donating hair is so rewarding knowing that your hair is going to help someone! And knowing that you get a free photo session with me makes it even more fun! 

Adventures of Queen Adelaide & Moth

The day started with costume day at school. Adelaide dressed as a super fairy princess, and Audrey a Moth. 

Well, at the end of the day Adelaide wasn't very happy with her costume. She said everyone was making fun of her and calling her the tooth fairy and she was not a tooth fairy. Now, I'm sure by "everyone" she means a few people, but nonetheless, she clearly was no longer feeling her costume. So, I told her that when she was 5 days old that we still didn't have a name for her, and then Julian came across the name Adelaide which was the name of a German princess who married a British prince named William and later became queen. Queen Adelaide's birthday was August 13th, the same as my mothers and my daughter Adelaide was born on my mothers mothers birthday! So, now it was easily decided, she was going as Queen Adelaide. With a half fast hemming job, boom, she had a beautiful gown to wear for the night! 

After stopping at our friend Mala's house who gave the girls sweet and a book, (a book which just so happened to be my very favourite book when I was in grade 1, no joke) we saw the beautiful sun set and then headed out in to the night! 

I must admit, it was a hard year to photograph because there were so many kids out and of course I try to avoid taking pictures of other kids out of respect...unless a parents asks me to snap one, which definitely happens. However, too many children trick or treating is nothing to complain about. It was so nice to see especially when I hear so many people say that they have less and less kids each year. Well the girls collected so much candy! And there was a noticeable difference in the amount of Nestle products this year in my 'hood! Way way less!!! Go team!!
