The most important photo walk ever...

As many of you know, this past Saturday, 11/13/10, was the American Diabetes Association's Step Out Walk at Universal Studios. My daughter Stella was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes this past summer. I have been involved in many different charities, and have shot many previous events for the MS Society, but this one, well it was personal.

The American Diabetes Step Out Walk

This is a big week at our house. This Saturday will be the American Diabetes Step Out Walk. I have never had a more important or personal connection to any organization. My daughter was diagnosed on July 30th of this year. We are so proud of how well my little peanut has handled all of the life altering things that have bombarded her since her diagnosis. She was thrust into a very adult situation, and has been forced to forgo a lot of the spontaneity that goes along with being a child, and I am amazed everyday by her.

Help me help my daughter

The Peanut Gallery

On July 30, my family received devastating news. Life as we knew would change. My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. No more spur of the moment trips for frozen yoghurt, or just "grabbing something to eat" when we get there. My daughter is insulin dependent. Every meal, snack, drink, etc, needs to be accounted for, and we need to know the carb count of every item she ingests.
