This past weekend I had the honor of being a volunteer photographer at the Omaha Down Syndrome Parent Network (ODSPN) Buddy Walk. Last year John and I went as participants to support our friends Chad and Tracy, whose sweet baby Bella was born with Down Syndrome.

The walk was lots of fun despite the horrible weather and it was so nice to see the large turnout. Even though I took tons of candid photos, I'm only going to include some pictures of people I know (since I don't have permission to publish photos of others).

Bella's Buddies, John and Tracy

I absoultely LOVE what the Bella's Buddies t-shirts say on the back.

Even the furry friends came out to walk.

Bella enjoys being carried around the UNO track by her friend Marty.

I'm so excited to post these photos! Bella is the adorable little daughter of our friends Chad & Tracy. She is such a sweet baby and it is obvious how much she is loved by her mom and dad. Bella was born with Down Syndrome and last month had a very large group of friends and family walk with her at the Omaha Buddy Walk. John and I were there and proudly sported our bright pink "Bella's Buddies" t-shirts. In fact, Bella raised over $5,000 for the Omaha Down Syndrome Parents Network, the second highest amount raised by a team. Go Bella!

Here are some of my favorites from our shoot. It's so hard to narrow them down!

Bella, I hope you aren't mad at me for posting this next one, but that pouty bottom lip is just too cute!

Are you ready for these?!

Thank you Chad, Tracy and Bella for choosing me to take pictures of your little princess! I will be adding to your outstanding fundraising efforts by donating 10% of the the sales from this session to the Omaha Down Syndrome Parents Network.
