The thermometer marches up and slides back down…. one day 74 next 34. How is that for crazy weather? I’ve been trying to think when the temperature has ever gone this crazy. Weather predictions are all over the place. We don’t know what to prepare for weather-wise at Photography by Chanda as we travel out and about here in our home state of North Carolina this month. No matter what Mother Nature brings, we plan to enjoy every moment of it because next month we will be away for three weeks traveling and capturing your amazing moments!

A lot of fun stuff is on our agenda and we cannot wait to jump right in. What can be more energizing than a re-do of your favorite spaces? Interior Designer Christine McCall asked us to document some of her new designed rooms. She tells us that it’s all about color this Spring and choosing the right textures fabrics for your style. Here she is along with some of her work.

We’re sure that you will be seeing more and more of her as she is an amazing and talented woman.
This month is about capturing the sweet faces and intoxicating spirits of amazing lil boys. We had the great pleasure of documenting a happy lil 4 year old man Camden Nobles.

Camden lives in Gastonia, NC with parents Nick and Sarah Nobles along with little sister Bliss. There are many characteristics that can describe him such as genuine, a rule follower, witty, and most of all just plain sweet. He is a true boy at heart and has an affinity for trains, planes, and dinosaurs. However he’s no ordinary little boy. Last year he was diagnosed with autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease and congenital hepatic fibrosis. It took six months to finally find a diagnosis and was bounced from doctor to doctor because they called him “the mystery man”. A liver biopsy determined the problem in November 2012. This is a rare genetic disease that is progressive and unfortunately degenerative. The family has never met anyone else with this disease. It affects both the liver and kidneys and eventually causes kidney failure requiring a transplant. His liver, kidneys, and spleen are grossly enlarged causing a “big belly”. There are many complications that are associated with this diagnosis such as failure to thrive, chronic abdominal pain, and hypertension. Camden is followed closely by a nephrologist, gastrointestinal, and genetic doctor. Fortunately little sister Bliss does not have the disease. Anyone that meets Camden is taken with him on sight. You can’t help but want to squeeze him due to his sweet nature and honesty. He has recently been approved for “Make a Wish” and desires to drive the train at Disney World. His life is going to be far from easy, but he is determined to become a father and husband like his dad. We cannot and will not imagine our life without him, period. To learn more about Camden and his journey please visit caringbridge.org site camdennobles. His fundraiser site for medical expenses is giveforward.com/camdennobles. This is a story that’ll capture your heart! Let him know you’re supporting him!

Another amazing lil boy named Gavin will be featured in a story in the April edition of Lil Ones Magazine.  Look at him and his family…
