This year on the 15th of April 2015, the 5th Annual Wear Green for Premmies event will occur. People all over Australia will choose to wear green to show their support and to raise awareness for all the little loves born too soon.
This year, the gorgeous face of the event belongs to Rachel. Rachel was born at just 24 weeks gestation. You can read more about her story here. She is such a remarkable and joyful girl, and I was so pleased to capture these special photos for the cause and her family. Prematurity is so close to our heart with our own son being born premature. During this painful time and the long journey at home afterwards the L'il Aussie Prems Foundation Forum was a wonderful support for me and so many others in the same situation.
If you'd like to support this wonderful cause or learn more, you can join the event page on Facebook or you can donate directly to the cause.
