Smiling Eyes

by Ryan Rowell

A few months ago we were asked to be apart of a really special group of photographers called Smiling Eyes. Smiling Eyes is a non-profit group of photogs who lend their services to people fighting cancer or who are celebrating beating the disease.

We got a call from the Nardi family asking us to visit them at the Toronto Ronald McDonald house to photograph Kyle and the family.  Kyle is 4 years old and like most 4 year olds he loves hanging out with his brothers and baby sister, playing games, and turning invisible at the drop of a hat. Here are some of our favorites shots from our time with the Nardi Family.

At first Kyle was pretty shy, but we can’t blame him we were in the small games room at Ronald McDonald house and there were 8 of us packed in there, there was no way of being discreet. But Kyle did flash us a quick smile before he turned invisible.

This photo was taken of Kyle when he was invisible, he was convinced cameras couldn’t see him, but these photos prove that cameras can see invisible kids!

This one is our personal fave.

We would like to thank the Nardi family for inviting us over to the House, we hope to photograph you guys all again soon when you go back to your Home!
