Polar Plunge 2013 – The Co-op Chillers take a dive for Special Olympics || Morris, IL event photographer

In my efforts to assist my friends & co-workers as they were raising money for Special Olympics, I recently held an auction for a portrait session.  I was thrilled with the winning bid of $400!  Here is what the winning family had to say about their involvement with Special Olympics:

“Bit of background … Special Olympics:
Dad’s cousin had downs syndrome.
Mom’s bucket list includes being a SO coach!
Brother Dan, Sister Mary, and I volunteered at Special Education Prom of McHenry County each year of HS.
I did service learning in college coaching a power wheel chaired soccer league for cp kids.
Ben was the captain of a SO polar plunge team for 3 years! He jumped 3x, I did 2x (preggo with Annie the other year), and each sibling did 1 year too!”

I’ve been privileged to work with this kind & generous family several times & have no words for how excited I am about their fall family session!

 

In the meantime, I thought it would be fun to share a few photos of the actual Plunge . . . all I can say is brrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Meet Carol

I have been taking pictures since I was old enough to use a camera   . . . back then it was a little 110 mm! One of my favorite parts of becoming a mother was having two little girls who loved being in front of the camera as much as I loved hiding behind it.   Read More
