Imagine having a beautiful child.Imagine finding out your beautiful child won’t survive past two years old.Imagine having ONE wish for your child.Imagine everyone banding together to make the wish a reality.
This is the story of Lilie’s family, and this is me (and hopefully all of you), committing myself to find a way to make this happen! Lilie is terminally ill. She has been diagnosed with GM1 Gangliosidosis. It is a rare, incurable lysosomal storage disease (enzyme deficiency) that will ultimately take her life by what research shows. . . by the age of two. She will continue to degenerate, go blind, have seizures, and eventually lose all ability to move and succumb to this disease. She is all but blind and her mom (Jen) is spending her last days enjoying what life is left in her daughter.
All Jen wants to do is take her daughter to the Ocean before she dies and Make a Wish will not grant them the wish because she is under two and they believe that Lilie will not get any benefit from it that it would only benefit the FAMILY… Jen is devastated.

This family is a dear friend of a good friend of mine. I’m asking for your help. Myself (along with a couple photographer friends of mine) would love to be able to get them to Florida. If we can get them to Florida (there are 6 in their family), they can stay with family…but with tons of medical expenses, right now it just isn’t possible.

So I’m asking for your guys’ help….anything that you could donate to this fabulous cause….$5, $20, $500…I get approximately 500 visits to my blog daily, if each person donated just $10, we could have $5000 in just one day…that would be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Put yourself in their shoes, imagine having one last wish for your child.

I have set up a Paypal account for the donations. If you are willing to help out, please go to Paypal and send funds to the following address sulrich@neb.rr.com.

Annual Charity Event - Clearwater, FL

Margie at Smiles Forever Photography, In St. Petersburg FL... Participated in Paint your Heart our Clearwater for the 15th time. This year the City of Clearwater choose 24 homes to be painted. These are families that can not do this type of work on their own.

We rode to each of the houses and I took photography with the Mayor of Clearwater, Frank Hibbard along with each paint team.

It is a GREAT Day of Community involvement and Improvement.



I look forward to NEXT year again!!!

Batteries Recharged!!

I just spent an amazing 5 days in Orlando at the ProPhotogs convention. This was a gathering of FANTASTIC Speakers, workshops and a lot of time hanging out with some of the BEST Professional Photographers in the world. I feel that as an artist and photographer, it is my responsibility to my clients to take time to attend conventions like this. I will be a better Phototgrapher, Person and Friend to those in need.

Here is a pic of my Roomates - and a new one of me that will be added to my website:

Look forward to working with you soon... Call 727-510-4418 to book your Session!!!

Life's True Blessings!!!

I was given the opportunity to go and spend some quality time with my "Sister" not many times in your life do you get the opportunity to find someone that is a TRUE FRIEND.... When you do find this type of friendship - my advise is to do anything necessary to hold on to it FOREVER!!

This Florida Girl got to see some SNOW...
Went out shooting in the Cold Sunshine...
It was a FANASTIC Time - I just wished that we lived closer to each other!! But, knowing that there will be times like we had this past weekend... Make the miles easier to handle...


Thank you for your Love, Support and FRIENDSHIP... You are my TRUE Sister and Friend for LIFE!!!
