Here are the categories in which you can be eligable for MLM:
Your Moment
To qualify for a “Your Moment Session” a family has one member of
any age who is dealing with either a debilitating or potentially
terminal illness (be it ongoing or in remission), a genetic condition,
has undergone or is about to undergo major surgery or has survived a
devastating physical accident but are living your everyday life to the
fullest despite your diagnosis. Examples we have currently offered
sessions to are- Epilepsy Seizures, Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral
Palsy, Paralysis, Stroke, Blepharophimosis, you are in remission from
cancer, you had open heart surgery, an amputation, any sort of
transplant (kidney, heart, lung, liver ) we cannot name every condition
but we will be sure to add to the list as we make memories for families,
sky’s the limit for this category.
Final Moment
“Final Moment Sessions” are meant for those families with members of
any age with terminal illnesses, who want to capture one last memory of
their beloved before the end sadly comes.
For a “Terminal Prognosis or a Life limiting Diagnosis” (All age
groups) of a family member, yourself or friends, even of a pet its hard
to want to pick up your camera and capture that wonderful look of love,
that single tear from a mother holding her child or just capturing that
pure joy of any family together after such a devastating diagnosis.
Pictures are often the only tangible items that we have left when our
precious gifts are taken away or altered in any way. We know how hard
this time is for you and your family and know that memories are one of
the most important things a person can keep forever.
We would be absolutely honored to help you in making those memories
come true. We offer Photography sessions absolutely free of charge at
any time after a prognosis/diagnosis has been made. These sessions can
be taken from your/their healthiest to your/their sickest and there is
NO limitation on who has to be terminally ill to qualify as we accept
any/all situations and any ages. This session does not have to be taken
during your loved ones final moments but can be requested if that is
what is needed.
Military Moment
For homecoming reunions we strive to capture the pure love and joy
that you show the world when you see your loved one for the first time
after their journey abroad. Its absolutely unbelievable capturing those
beautiful faces that light up as a mother or father, sister or brother,
son or daughter even aunt or uncle walks off the airplane after a long
period of time of not being able to see or touch each other.
For deployments majority of individuals are overcome with their own
emotion that the camera is often forgotten in their hand as they give
kisses and hugs for the last time as they leave for their deployment.
Injured soldiers are offered sessions with their families to
celebrate the life they have together despite the devastating injury.
If you are part of any branch of the Canadian Military then our goal
is to capture those moments that can never be captured again for you. We
are going to make a difference in many families lives that are dealing
with deployments and homecoming reunions.
We also offer regular sessions as a pre-deployment or after a
homecoming as we know not everyone is able to participate in and actual
homecoming/deployment.
So if you see photos posted with the MLM logo *pictured above on them and not my personal logo that means it was a MLM session. If you would like more info please visit the website!~ MLM
