Fun with baby smiles

Every time I visit Operation Breakthrough, I come home with pockets full of sunshine from the baby faces I see. When I talk to my students about photographing moments, I emphasize action, reaction, and interaction. But sometimes, a beautiful face with a big smile is a moment in itself.

Visiting a sweet suite at Arrowhead

It felt like old times as I loaded up my cameras and followed the Operation Breakthrough kids onto the field at Arrowhead Stadium where they met up with their buddy Travis Kelce. The kids were treated to pregame meet n greet with Kelce and several of his teammates who shook hands and gave away gloves they had signed. Then we went to Kelce’s suite and watched the game. Sweet! My photos appeared on the blog for Kelce’s foundation, which supports Operation Breakthrough, an inner-city daycare.

They’re just so darn cute!

I was treated to a double dose of sweetness this week when I visited Operation Breakthrough on Tuesday to photograph the kids, and again on Thursday, when I went on a scavenger hunt with the Circle of Friendship Auxiliary group. I was paired with the absolute cutest little boy named Kei’mon. He took me around the center as we gathered puzzle pieces then he curled up in my lap as I read him a book. If anyone has time to volunteer time or funds for this organization, you will be rewarded with hugs and smiles. It is well worth the time.

Shadow golfing

The morning sun was bright as I watched the golfers on the practice green. At first, I was watching the golfers and the patterns they made with their colorful shirts and shoes. But then I couldn’t resist the shadow golfers. Early morning sun is a photographer’s friend, and perhaps a golfer’s, too.

Operation Breakthrough has my heart

I have so much fun working with the children at Operation Breakthrough, and my good buddy, Jennifer. The kids there are bright and beautiful and curious. Oh, so curious! I shot the photos for their fundraising brochure this summer to fund the summer school agers program. Then I went to their talent show to photograph their performance. What fun!

I wish I had a million dollars so I could give the daycare everything they need for their kids. I’ll have to settle for donating my time and photos so others can be generous. I hope sharing these smiles brings them many donations.
