Hello to everyone, A very special note today. I am actually not sure where to even begin so please be patient with me. This is going to be a long post too. There is no easy way to explain all of this and so many people to thank. So, settle in:) Let’s rewind to the…
This is amazing..I actually can’t stop crying right now..you are a true inspiration and the work you are doing is one of a kind. So many families will appreciate this gift..
Wow Hilary, you have so much to give, and it is no wonder that you have started “Another Door Opens”. You have a very kind heart:)
Wow, this is inspiring. I lost my Father very young and it would have been such a gift to our family to have the opportunity to “Open a new door”. Time heals some pain, and a memory to remind us what is left to live for is an amazing gift to have hanging on the wall with the photos of our remembered loved ones right beside. All the best on this new path… I look forward to seeing your journey!
What you’re doing is very special. My mom died when I was eight – my dad was left with four kids under the age of 10. I know if someone had taken photos of our “new family” it would have been an incredible gift. Please know that you are taking more than photographs – you are helping people heal and move forward through what will likely be the most difficult time of their lives. God bless you.
Not to rock you’re boat But.
Taking pictures of people who are terminal could be a good thing, maybe a treasure to help for the coming years.
But taking a picture of a family with a missing member to me would never be good. Every time I would look at it, correct that I would never look at it.
I guess it would be ok if Grandma was missing that’s a natural thing, but for a young child to have their Mother or Father missing from a family photo is quite another thing. Not to mention a child missing.
Once you lose a family member there is no such thing as a new family photo. If I miss understood you’re intentions please excuse me.
Beautiful Hilary – You’re so busy, talented and doing so well it’s fabulous you’ve decided to start this. You’ll make such a difference in people’s lives and from that you’ll get such satisfaction I’m sure. Both you and Christine (Kusfke) are amazing : ) Best of luck xo
Wonderful journey ahead of you. How exciting and how many lives you will be connected to. I know this will be encouraging and uplifting to you and all entwined together thru your photography.
Thanks to you for opening your world to help others.

Hilary,

You are so incredible, I’m so proud of you!!! What an amazing thing to do!!!! xx
Hilary, as i sit here having my morning tea, you have once again brought me to tears… you are truly inspirational women, i think you will be the most fit fabulous 40 year old in town.
thank you for what you do and what you bring to this community
Hil, today I say goodbye to Rick’s cousin Kim, she is hands down the nicest woman I have ever met. But I have to say, you are right up there with her. You are an amazing woman inside and out. I am so proud to call you my friend. Love you xoxoxo
Love this, Hilary! I know that many families will benefit from your project and will appreciate their photos more than you know. As a photographer, I recently photographed a widow and her 10-week old baby girl. The baby’s father had passed away from cancer when she was just 8-weeks old. It was one of the most emotionally difficult sessions that I have ever done, but one of the most touching and memorable ones as well. Congratulations and wishing you much success with this new endeavour!
Beautiful! A true work of and from the heart. As I read your words I can also feel them. I wish you much happiness and success in everything that you do and touch.
