Lucy | Life is our way of creating lasting memories for young families who are facing the untimely loss of a parent, child or sibling.
Six times a year, nominated Lucy | Life families will be selected to receive a full photography session, a 16 x 20 print and all the full resolution images on cd (minimum 10, depending on the situation.)
Nominating a Lucy | Life family:
We recognize that this is a sensitive time for everyone. We hope to make the nomination process as effortless as possible. Simply send an e-mail to: info@lucylimestudios.com, sharing with us the family’s situation, and why you are nominating them as a Lucy | Life family. We will respond to gather additional information and discuss in more detail the family’s unique needs.
Please consider the following nomination criteria:
* Lucy | Life family must be nominated by a family member or close friend
* Nominated family must live in the Fraser Valley (i.e. Surrey, White Rock, Langley, Aldergrove, Cloverdale, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission.) Families currently living – or who have a child living – in a care facility or hospice outside of the Valley, in Metro Vancouver, are welcome.
* Nominated families must be facing the loss of an immediate family member
(mom, dad, sister or brother.)
* Family should be young, with small children (as we are child photographers, we would like to ensure we’re able to keep the focus on the children.)
The Lucy | Life Photo Session:
We appreciate this is a challenging time for our young families, therefore:
* Sessions will take place at the location of the family’s choice
* Each session is unique and will be tailored to each family’s particular needs. Details will be determined upon consultation with the family.
We know photoshoots can be stressful for even the healthiest families, so we do everything we can to ensure the Lucy | Life session is fun and comfortable. Our approach to photography is relaxed, playful and casual…we just want to hang out and capture the families doing whatever comes naturally to them.
Are they going to the beach?
Going for ice cream?
We’ll tag along and photograph the spontaneity of their time together! If it’s not possible for the family to spend time out of the house together, that’s ok too. Maybe we can join them for story / cuddle time, or pop over during dinner! Whatever’s best for them is ok with us.
Families shouldn’t worry about makeup, clothing, or tidying up… those aren’t the things that matter. What matters are the memories we’ll capture as our Lucy | Life family spends this special time together.
Our Commitment to Lucy | Life
Both of us are past-members of Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS) and have seen firsthand the significance of capturing life’s challenging times. While we both learned a lot from NILMDTS, we saw a further need in our community to provide photos for families who don’t have much time left together. We wish to help these families preserve these important moments forever.
Shannon was personally affected by the early loss of a parent, as her father passed away when she and her brother were young children and her mom was pregnant with her little sister. She understands the value of eternalizing these moments and wants to help our Lucy | Life families do just that.
Thank you for considering your friend or family member for Lucy | Life.
