Hope for Mariah | San Francisco bay area kids photographer

I wrote about three year old Mariah back in April when I heard about her fundraiser at a local ice cream shop. She was diagnosed with a rare form of Kidney Cancer in December 2008 and has been undergoing treatment since. We talked about getting together for some pictures for a while and finally, our stars aligned. At first, Mariah was a bit tentative and stayed close to mama. She did say she wanted her her pictures taken. Mama even told me that she wanted to wear a dress for the pictures. It just struck me how well this little girl has taken her sickness in stride.

You can visit Mariah’s website to learn more about this brave little girl and how you can help her. Her mom mentioned having wristbands as a fundraiser. They are only $5 each and read “Hope for Mariah.” You can review more info by clicking on the link.
