#31 dream portrait wish

#31

I dream of a family portrait that portrays our love for each other, our strength and our resilience.  After our very first experience with Wancket Studios, we knew that we would eventually get a family portrait done.  About a year later, our lives changed.  Our son was diagnosed with Autism and the joyful boy we once knew slipped away from us.  Eye contact disappeared as did his infectious giggle.  After many years of therapy and many more tears, he is coming back to us.  Our younger son is very protective of his older brother and he seems to have grown up far too quickly.  He has this urgency to take care of his brother and to be his protector.  I wish I had a portrait that shows this love…our love for each other, no matter what life throws at us.  I have few pictures of us as a family and fewer of the boys together.  I dream of a portrait that is free of worries and can capture my oldest son’s spirit while capturing my youngest son’s little boy charms.    This is my dream portrait.

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A PORTRAIT OF MY SON'S FAMILY TOGETHER.SINCE WE LIVE SO FAR APART, WE DON'T GET TO SEE EACH OTHER AS OFTEN AS WE WANT.PORTRAIT'S ARE EXPENSIVE,AND AIDAN'S SPECIAL NEEDS CAN BE COSTLY. PLUS, "THE GUYS" ARE SOME OF THE CUTEST IN THE WORLD, AND THEIR PARENTS AREN'T BAD LOOKING EITHER.

This family is very deserving. Autism is a difficult disorder. Please give this family some normalcy and compassion. Please allow them the privledge of a the photo. They are very deserving and what a special moment to capture. Words escape an autistic child, but a picture can say so much!!!

I vote for Angela because I know her story from the very beginning and want her wish for the family portrait to come true. Angela comes from a wonderful supportive family and has created one herself with her husband, 2 boys and dog. Good Luck Angela. Warmly, Marta Nealy

I would like to see them win because Matt and Angela work so hard to provide for their family and portaits don't always fit into the budjet.And besides you won't find two cuter boys than my grandsons

I have been friends with this family for ages and can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

Becky Cayten  commented on  September 21st, 2011

I vote for this family!! I had the pleasure of being their oldest son's one on one at his school, he is an amazing little boy! He has a very loving and supportive family. It would be a wonderful thing to capture this love and their son's progression in a famnily portrait!! This studio has an amazing oppurtunity to do just that! Please pick them :)

Cat  commented on  September 21st, 2011

Love Angele and her commitment to help her beautiful family. Best of luck!

Patricia Bliujuslee  commented on  September 21st, 2011

Angele and her family deserve this honor because of the multiple rocky roads they have had to travel yet never fail to push through to get the best care for their oldest son Aiden. Despite being told he would "never do" certain activites of daily living, they have worked so hard with him that he has proven all those doctors wrong. It is only because of the work that Angele does with Autism that has abled her to help her son and family grow into the beautifulunit it is. I hope you chose them for their dream portrait.
