Cheri - look at those beautiful big eyes. These are a treasure for her family

Jaidean - She is beautiful – what a doll!

Brianna - super beautiful – love her eyes :)

Sabreena - These pictures are beautiful! Thank you so much Jane for this breathtaking gift you’ve given to my family. You’ve given my cousins life long memories of their baby sister that they can hang onto for a life time and you’ve captured her tender love and affectionate eyes for the rest of us to cherish and share with our family and friends. God Bless.

admin - I was honoured to make Ms A’s photographs. She is such an adorable child, and seems to have lost no spunk to her illness. To paraphrase the late author Jane Rule, little A “just reached in and placed a string of lights around my heart.” You are lucky to be her cousin. I am really lucky to be her photographer.

Jana Kunz - These are so sweet, what a beautiful little girl. :)

Ellen Dykstra - She is stunning, and your images capture the sweet personality you describe so well-

Lauralee - Beautiful, beautiful girl.

deb - Beautiful girl, lovely images. Hugs and blessings to the G family and little Ms A.

Elizabeth Glass - Oh my gosh, those eyes! What a beautiful little girl! I love how quiet she is in the first one.

Cristina - Such a sweet baby girl. Those cheeks! I love the thoughtful expression you captured in the first.

Sabreena - Alisha’s battle came to an end on July 12th 2009.

Please join us to celebrate Alisha’s life and the happy moments we shared with her in her life that was all to brief. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2009 at 2 PM at Valley View Funeral Home at 14660 72nd Ave, Surrey, BC. The Funeral Service will be followed by a Cremation Service and a Celebration of Life gathering also at Valley View Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Alisha’s memory to The Canuck Place Children’s Hospice, 1690 Matthews Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V6J 2T2, (604) 731-4847.

admin - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I will be holding you all in my heart.

Sabreena - Thank you jane. and once again thank you so much for the pictures…they’ve become priceless to us now.

admin - I will be thinking of all of you, especially Alisha, tomorrow. I have been thinking about her kisses all week; I swear I can still feel them on my cheek. I dropped a print by Canuck Place for you guys, and hopefully, one of their staff will bring it to you tomorrow.

NILMDTS: remember the moms

As most everyone knows, there are two charities that are near and dear to my heart. One is Vancouver’s Food Bank, and leaving a comment on any post on this blog garners them a $1 donation from Jane Photo (with which they can purchase $3 of food for the needy), and the other is Now...
