Alopecia Areata is a non life threatening auto immune disease where the body mistakenly attacks a person's hair follicles. The hair falls out and cant continue to grow. In many people, this just happens in small patches, but it can affect the entire scalp.
The Children's Alopecia Project (CAP for short) give support to the children and families that are affected by this autoimmune disease.
CAP is devoted specifically to children living with the incurable autoimmune hair loss disease, Alopecia. The Mission of the Children's Alopecia Project (CAP) is to help any child in need who is living with hair loss due to all forms of alopecia. We build self-esteem, provide support and raise awareness. We would like our CAP Kids to grow in confidence and become stronger teens and productive adults, maybe even the advocates of the future dealing with alopecia. -CAP
I once again teamed up with Christine from Following Phubie and Pure Joy Events and photographed the CAP Thanksgiving Potluck she helped host. Her son has Alopecia, and I was able to meet several other amazing children who also have the disease.
Anyway, here are some of the photos!

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!
