The Love Project by hidden treasures celebrates the lives of children and women facing life-changing medical conditions, tragedy, bullying, and other low self-esteem causing situations by providing a professional photography session and custom photo gift package, as a complimentary gift.

The vision of The Love Project is that every family touched by childhood disease, and every woman and child who has dealt with low self-esteem or bullying have the opportunity to have professional photos made all while making magical memories.

For some of us, a simple photograph may not seem like much, but for these children, women, and their families, these photos represent hope. Hope for better days ahead. Hope for more time together. Hope for a cure. Hope for new situations. Hope for breakthrough.

A look at the journey

The Experience

HTS is honored to work with our regional children's hospitals and kids camps through out Central Illinois, other nonprofits and organizations, and directly with families in Central Illinois. Social workers, doctors, nurses, friends, and family members can all refer our services and connect us with children and their families who are fighting childhood disease and victims of other traumatic situations.

Each of the children and women selected for The Love Project are prayed over by our prayer team. Words of affirmation are spoken over them.

Families receive a custom storybox of images, a link to a private online gallery, mini albums, and a few other goodies.
