Augie {Downers Grove Family and Children Photographer}

Meet Augie, a brave and adorable 5 year old, along with his wonderful family.  Augie was born with a rare congenital heart defect called Truncus Arteriosis and has already undergone 2 open heart surgeries, and will continue to need medical procedures on his heart in years to come.  His parents, who happen to be friends of mine, spent a lot of time at the Ronald McDonald House near Advocate Hope Children’s Hospital when he had his surgeries.  They felt so fortunate to stay there and wanted to give back, so they started “Augie’s Drive for Supplies” a few years ago to support the Ronald McDonald House.  Their annual drive is this month (see the flyer below).  If you are in the area, please consider dropping off a donation to help out.  I enjoyed capturing these pictures for the flyer and seeing the smiles and laughter that this wonderful family shares with each other.  Thanks for having me be a part of this Dave and Joanna!
