Solumination:
in honour of a little angel in heaven, Brandon Tarling.
Their Vision
Soulumination, founded by Lynette Huffman Johnson, celebrates the lives of children and parents facing life threatening conditions by providing professional photographs--free of charge--of these special individuals and their families. The life-affirming photographs of Soulumination are an enduring, positive record of the child's brief life, and provide a loving legacy for the children of parents lost to terminal illness.

Toy Suggestions
Thank you for taking the time to select a special toy for our program. For all you beginners out there, a few things to get you started.We serve children from ages, infant to 12 years of age. We are often short of items for 9-12 year olds (see below for suggestions). Look for age recommendations on toys: although some age restrictions are simply warnings about small parts (3 and up), it can be a good guide for beginners. If you are unsure check with the Store Associate for suggestions.
Suggested Toys
“Play value” is very important in our toys and simply means the toy itself does not have to be the most expensive one on the market but has lots of workable parts, is interactive, and will provide the child with hours of blissful entertainment .

1-2: Sesame Street toys, Plastic Tonka truck, Board books, MegaBloks, Little People

We make every effort to make the toys “immediately playable” on Christmas morning, therefore we always need:

Books (from cloth for infants to novels for 12 year olds and everything in between)
