Totally joking, it’s the only thing on the news the past few weeks! Actually the crew set up shop in a small town outside of Chattanooga, Rossville, Georgia. As you know, Michael, Cindy and Patrick Sharrock were chosen as the family to receive a new home. Patrick is the sweetest, smartest child who just happens to have Type 3 OI (osteogenesis imperfecta). Not that this diagnosis gets him down, he has a bigger than life heart (and voice! sorry Patrick!) and you’re the lucky one if you get a few minutes to visit with him.

This past February Eric and I had the privilege to be chosen as the photographers to photograph the Sharrocks….no pressure right?! We were contacted by a sweet design producer by the name of Heather H., who nicely asked if we would come take photos of the family. Silly girl, my camera bag was already packed!

When the day arrived, we waited for a little while for the family to arrive, then we had approximately 20 minutes to capture the essence of a family we had never met……WOW, insert lump in throat. Thankfully, Michael, Cindy and Patrick were wonderful to work with. They were so elated from the news that they just received that their sincere emotions made our jobs pretty easy.

I want to personally thank our contact design producer Heather H. for gently leading us the right way in an environment that we were totally unfamiliar. Also, a huge thank you to CPQ and Hardwood Frames for their generous donation of prints, frames and products. Lastly, let’s not forget the amazing guys at Art Warehouse for the beautiful frames for the home! Without those donations we couldn’t have produced the final product. The images that we took now hang on the walls on the finished house built by Vision Homes and thousands of volunteers.

Welcome home Sharrock family, welcome home.

We think that the founders, Jim and Amy Jo Osborn are super amazing people and the Chattanooga community thinks so too. It was overwhelming to see how many people that donated their time, products and services to benefit the Foundation. I’m sure they have all been thanked by many, but from us, thank you so much to all the models, vendors and companies that participated to make the first annual Runway for Hope  a night to be remembered.

From the Austin Hatcher Foundation website:

“Runway for Hope is a high-fashion runway and hair show event to raise money for the Austin Hatcher Foundation for pediatric cancer. The Foundation was formed to help erase the toxic effects of cancer and its treatments and optimizes each child’s quality of life through specialized intervention beginning at the time of diagnosis and continuing throughout. ”

Here’s a list of a few people that made this night possible. For a full list of all the sponsers please visit http://www.hatcherfoundation.org/.

The Chattanoogan Hotel, Hairbenders International, Dillards, Divine Designs by Amanda, Soundforce, The White Table.
