Meet Bianca, a talented documentary and lifestyle photographer based in Dallas, Texas. From a young age, Bianca discovered her love for photography, a passion that eventually evolved into her full-time profession. Little did she know that her camera lens would become a powerful tool in capturing the magic of wish-granting moments with Make-A-Wish.

Bianca's journey with Make-A-Wish began when she had the honor of photographing special moments during wish-granting experiences. Witnessing the Make-A-Wish team's dedication and genuine passion for each family they worked with left a profound impact on her. "I am open to photographing any wishes," she shares, emphasizing her belief that each family's unique story deserves to be preserved in timeless images.

What makes Bianca's connection to Make-A-Wish particularly heartfelt is her close bond with Allie, her best friend and a Volunteer Services Coordinator at Make-A-Wish. Allie, a childhood cancer survivor and a wish recipient herself, serves as a constant source of inspiration for Bianca. The opportunity to combine their passions to contribute to wish-granting became a powerful driving force for Bianca to volunteer with Make-A-Wish.

For Bianca, wish-granting is a rollercoaster of emotions. She experiences excitement as she hears about the details of a wish coming together and eagerly anticipates the moment when everything comes to life. Despite occasional emotional moments, she skillfully uses her camera to capture the depth of emotions experienced during these powerful encounters.

"As I edit the images, I feel gratitude," Bianca expresses. The privilege of capturing these profound moments is not lost on her, and she takes great care to provide families with lasting mementos of their unique stories.

Make-A-Wish has not only provided Bianca with the opportunity to make a difference but has also profoundly changed her mindset. Through her lens, she has witnessed the resilience of children facing adversity with radiant smiles, observed the unity of families and friends coming together, and experienced Make-A-Wish's unwavering commitment to making each child feel extraordinary.

"I would recommend Make-A-Wish to anyone who wants to volunteer," Bianca passionately advocates. She emphasizes that there is a place for everyone within the organization's warm and supportive family. The team goes beyond organizing events; they create memories that last a lifetime and express gratitude for every volunteer's contribution.

As Bianca keeps on capturing wishes and weaving memories, her adventure with Make-A-Wish stands as a living testament to the incredible impact of volunteering.
