Heidi and I recently had the extreme pleasure and honor of photographing Chief for a Day, which is part of the Apple Blossom Festival. This is a day where each of the Law Enforcement Agencies gets a new "chief", and an absolutely amazing kid gets to be the "chief" for a day and run the show. These kids have debilitating illnesses and some even have terminal illnesses but they definitely don't let that affect their enjoyment for life. They are so incredibly special and we are so, so, so honored to have been in attendance. This was easily one of the best events that we have attended in Wenatchee as it showcased the best parts of our community.
One of the most touching moments of the day was Chelan County Sherif Brian Burnett sharing the story of his "chief for a day", and how she courageously fought for her life but in the end she wasn't able to make it to be chief for the day. Tears are hard to shoot through...
This is such a special event!!! We encourage everyone to check it out next year and do what you can to support the event.
Here are some photos from the event and here is a link to the entire
