Grand Rapids Lifestyle Photographer // College Park and Truper Teddy!

One of my favorite projects to date was working with College Park on the launch of their teddy bear, Truper Teddy.  College Park Industries provides a full line of customizable prosthetic foot systems, upper limb solutions, endoskeletal components and MetroLiner gel products.  When children receive their prosthetics from College Park, they also gift them with this super cuddly, super adorable teddy bear, Truper Teddy!  

Sam, our sweet and sassy model for the day, was such a trooper herself.  Being just a young child and putting up with outfit changes and location changes…..I’d say that she is a pro!  Ever since having a daughter with a limb difference myself, projects like these have become so special and so important to me.  I only hope I can be involved in SO many more!  

Enjoy these fun and playful images!

It was so different having to remember to make sure that Truper the teddy bear was the subject, not Sam…

We went around downtown for a few of my favorite locations for Sam to do some of the activities she loves…like ballet.  Perfect!

The last photo was just a shot for her family…a progression of (most) her legs from the time she was little until now.  Love this image!
