The Inspiration. That’s the nick-name that pops into my head for one of my favorite people. Lynette Johnson is not only a fabulous photographer but also the force behind Soulumination. A lot of you have heard me mention Soulumination on Facebook before I photograph a new family but don’t have any idea what they do. Souluminaiton is an organization that matches up children with lift threatening illnesses and professional photographers who offer their services for free. They also do legacy sessions for parents who have a life threatening illness and have children under the age of 18. In addition to complimentary photo sessions the families receive a whole host of lovingly crafted gifts for all the family members.
I am thrilled to be associated with Soulumination. They do an amazing job of matching up the right photographers with the right families and it allows me to just be present with the family and enjoy making images for them that will last a lifetime. While I understand how grateful the families are, selfishly I am just sure that I get more out of each session than they do. These sessions fill my heart every time and I so appreciate that Soulumination makes it possible to share our skills.
Lynette Johnson is a force of nature. She tirelessly photographs families, fundraises and provides the face of Soulumination. She is the founder and Soul’s biggest champion. And she is fighting her own battle with cancer with the same fervor. I like to think the third time is the charm and that this time she will really kick cancer’s booty!
When I offered to take Lynette’s family pictures I didn’t think she would take me up on it. She is surrounded by so many talented photographers! But I was thrilled that she said yes and I loved meeting up with the whole family on the UW campus.
