About Us
- Hollie
- North Salt Lake, UT, United States
- I am the lucky mother of two extra-ordinary children. My oldest is Ben. He is 10 years old and has more energy than even he knows what to do with. He is in 4th grade and is growing faster than I can keep up with him. My baby is Elaina. She was born in January of 2008. Elaina was born with some serious health problems. She has a Complex Congenital Heart Defect that includes: Pulmonary Atresia with an intact Ventricular Septum, right aortic arch, a leaky tri-cuspid valve and a large sinusoidal connection between her right ventricle and left coronary artery. She also has a chromosomal disorder called DiGeorge Syndrome or 22q11 deletion. In plain English, she was born with a rare but serious heart defect, as well as some other challenges. She had a bi-directional Glenn done in June of 2008. She is fed by g-tube, and continues to grow and amaze the doctors with her strength. She spent 18 months inpatient at South Davis Community Hospital after her Glenn procedure. She finally came home in April of 2010 and is thriving! She's in pre-school and loving life! Oh the adventures we have!!!!!

The pictures are beautiful! They did such a great job! Your children are beautiful. I love the close-up with Ben and Elaina. You can tell they have such a strong bond even though they have spent so much time apart. Prayers are still coming your way.

The photos are lovely!! You've just given me a kick in the pants to schedule a photography session with Katie.
How is Elaina's fever, any better today? Katie and I said prayers last night for both of you!

How cute!! Did they take them in color then change them into black and white? They came out SOO good! My favorite one is the one where your kissing Ben and Ben is kissing Elaina. You need to print these out had have them framed. So darling!
