CeCe Riders

I have many amazing opportunities to photograph many different types of events, but photographing CeCe Riders took it to a whole new level. This event was very close to my heart. A very dear friend of mine Shanna has a beautiful little girl named Cecileigh. CeCe as everyone calls her was born at 26 weeks and weighed a little over a pound. Cece was born with several medical problems which led to her diagnoses of hydrocephalus. Shanna was told that not much hope for survival and after two years of hard work, hospital visits and constant love and care, CeCe just celebrated her 2nd birthday!!
CeCe Riders was put together by The Southies Crew and had many different sponsors show their support.  These amazing, kind hearted and loving men and women worked super hard to pull this off and they did an awesome job!  I had the honor of getting to photograph a special memory for Shanna as well as the people who put it all together for her and CeCe.. We are both special needs mothers. We have an amazing bond and it felt good to be there to capture and to show my support for such a great cause. I also was able to meet another fellow special needs mother Amber. It's great when an event can bring together a community and also to allow you to meet other mothers like yourself. Very rewarding. I am looking forward to photographing Amber's son Caige (who also suffers with hydrocephalus) ride.
