Festival of Trees- youngest tree sponsor






I was so thrilled to be able to capture the culmination of months of work for young Ben Weymiller.

Last year Ben was a tree host at the festival, where he watched to make sure children didn't get too close and hurt themselves amongst all the glorious trees, toys and decorations. Last summer he decided he wanted to raise money himself for Children's Hospital and chose to sponsor a tree at the Festival of Trees. At 13 Ben is the youngest tree sponsor ever.

With the help from amazing Gig Harbor interior designer, Samantha Moon, they put together a tree with decorations and gift donations of over $5000 dollars.

The tree's theme is 'Sound Full of Joy'. A nautical tree representing all of the amazing things to do around the Puget Sound area. BerryLane Photography was honored to be asked to donate a photography session and an 11x14 art print.

Yesterday I witness the creation of this beautiful tree! Enjoy- and don't forget to attend the Festival of Trees Dec5th & 6th at the Greater Tacoma Convention and Trade Center.
