And so it begins, our charity photo shoots are now underway

Yes it's true the start of our wall of hope photo shoots have started ...

Our wall of hope phase 3 has begun.  This is our 3rd year of doing the wall for nicu north staffs and it's as busy as ever, with around 30 registered for photoshoots so far.

We have started the photo shoots and more to come in the next few weeks.  There is no rush for the photos so don't worry if you haven't had your shoot yet.  Photos will be done from Feb-Aug with fundraising throughout with the reveal in Nov.

Wall Of Hope - North Staffs Nicu

So we had 2 photo shoot days and I took hundreds of photos during those two days.  I was lucky to meet all the special babies and hear a brief insight to their stories...

It touches my heart, and I feel wonderful and hope this wall will help new mums.

It has been difficult to decide on the photos as they were all so good, so Natalie and I sat over coffee arranging them all and deciding on the pics.

The next step is the design of the posters and then a meeting at the hospital to show them all.

 Then it's the printing and the launch.

It's very exciting x

Wall of hope - nicu north staffs - intro

We are creating a Wall of Hope for North Staffs NICU so that parents can see there is hope and a light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm doing this because I met a Wonderful person Natalie Taylor and her daughter Jess who was born at 23 weeks.  The story inspired me so much that early this year I auctioned some photo shoots to raise money.  

And once again in Aug Natalie and I did some more auctions of photos shoots and cakes to raise further funds. 

I took some photos of Jess and her friend Morgan - also a preemie and the photos were so good the hospital staff asked if they could have a photo for their wall.  

Since discussing with them we have since decided to invite other babies and children to have photos taken (photo shoots are happening during Sept). These photos will then be made into posters to create a Wall of Hope for the parents family room to show other peoples stories - to give a little hope to families.

Staff are excited as am I, and the response has been incredible with people travelling to have their pictures taken to be included in the wall.

Please donate and lets raise money for the ward.
