PROTECT these little ones

*I almost didn't post this but I think its really important to spread the message.*

So far this year, I have been blessed with the great privilege to meet, hold, adore and photograph these 4 precious babies, one of them being my very own. I.LOVE.MY.JOB! But I know that with my job comes great responsibility to make sure that these little guys are happy, secure and safe when with me and that is one of the many reasons WHY I got my Dtap booster shot. Incase you haven't heard, PERTUSSIS also known as Whooping Cough has been declared an EPIDEMIC here in the fine state of California. Can you believe it?! An EPIDEMIC?? So far 5 babies have died from it this year alone and the year isn't over yet! To young adolescents and adults, whooping cough acts like a cold or bad cough so you might not even know you have it BUT to a baby, it could be deadly! We need to protect those who are too little to protect themselves. I hate to use this blog for anything other than a way to share my photography but as a new mom myself and knowing so many other women having babies this year, this scares me! Not only do I want to protect MY baby but I want to protect YOUR baby as well so no more families have to suffer a lose like this family did. PLEASE, go get your Dtap adult booster shot, keep washing those hands and tell those you love about it. It could save a babies life.

thanks for listening.
