Photographing kids is something I do a lot, but Joseph has an amazing story. He was born with a unique heart and wasn't expected to make it much past his own birth. Yet, here we are months later and he's hanging in, strong as can be. Now, he needs some help.
Later this year, Joseph will be having open heart surgery in Boston to keep him strong. His family has set up a donation page to raise funds for the rather monumental events they have coming up. So, give what you can and know that it's going to a great family.
