Several weeks back, we met Caulin.  Prior to the photo session, Caulin’s mom, Kelly had mentioned that Caulin was a bit shy when meeting new people and this could be a challenge in front of the camera. At first we weren’t sure what to expect. But the ice was quickly broken when we got in the old freight elevator at our studio. You could see the amazement in Caulin’s eyes as we rode up to the 6th floor like it was a theme park ride.

Throughout the entire session, Caulin was the perfect model. We rarely had to direct him to look at the camera and smile – he just did it. He was such a happy and inquisitive kid that it’s hard to believe that he’s had to deal with so much at a young age. Caulin was born with Vesicoureteral Reflux (VUR, or kidney reflux) and Hydronephrosis (water on the kidney). On October 9th, Kelly will be walking in support of the National Kidney Association. It’s been a rough road along the way but Kelly is hopeful that someday a cure for kidney disease can be found. If you would like to support Kelly, please visit her Donation Page.
