Welcome to my 1st Edition of Unsung Hero. We all have Heroes in our lives, our Unsung Hero addition is to inspire others to submit a story about their heroes and have them photographed by me. You can email us at hero@angelacampanelli.com looking forward to hearing your inspirational stories.

I would like to start this with my Unsung Hero Francesco Campanelli my father and my inpiration. My dad (Pa) is my driving force to be happy and do good for others. He always has a smile on his face and never looks at what he doesn`t have but what he does have. Pa, I want to thank-you for being the best parent any child can ask for , I know you were given a challenging task to care for us since we were little as a single parent due to mommy`s illness. You worked full time , prepared our 3 course breakfasts with freshly squeezed orange juice ( I really mean freshly squeezed by hand ;no juicer) ,made our school lunches and always had supper ready for us without ever complaining but on the contrary with a constant smile on your face! Being the Dad who played with all the kids outside whether it was street hockey, baseball or a simple bike ride. Always ready with a listening ear, watching us make mistakes and being there for our tumbles without judging or critiquing us in any way. Everyone who meets you says the same thing, that you have a beautiful soul. Even after your 3rd bout of cancer you still want to fight, when asked from the nurse if you would like to sign a DNR, your reply is `Absolutely Not `! and I love that about you ! If I can be ½ the parent for my children as you are with me I know I have done an amazing job. Thank-you for setting the bar so high for I have made an amazing choice in my life partner. With lots of love to my father my Unsung Hero xoxoxo Angie

Lauren and Josh you are two incredibly special people, you truly captured my heart by your genuine interest in everyone around you. I loved watching you; your interaction and chemistry is unlike any I`ve seen before. This is an exert of Josh`s speech that had me tearing up while trying to focus….sooo beautiful ! …………….

`Meeting Lauren was the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

With your amazing smile and a minute of your time, you can make anyone feel like they’re on top of the world.

You’re the most kind, genuine and generous girl I’ve ever met.

You’re always there for your friends, always ready to pick them up, never to put them down, always there to speak to, keep secrets, and give your best advice. I’m so lucky to be your best friend.

Laur I can’t imagine life without you. You’re my dream come true.

I love loving you and being loved by you, teasing you and being teased by you, supporting you when you need someone to talk to and being supported by you when I need someone to talk to.

I can’t imagine feeling more comfortable with anyone, and so I know that whatever else life brings us, we will always be happy as long as we have each other. It’s fitting that our initials are LPJF because you will be my love, pride and joy forever.` By Josh Fisher

I had the privilege of photographing Margaret Trudeau, one of Canada`s most glamorous first lady along with Earl and Gary founders of the Art for Healing Foundation. Their mission is to bring the healing power of art to hospitals, transforming the bare walls into inspiring pieces of art. You can check their site at www.artforhealingfoundation.org .

Mitsou , Patricia and our little miracle child. Patricia who is seen in the photograph with Mitsou had turned 28 when she was given the shocking news and needed a full mastectomy and reconstructive surgery on both breasts. She is now the proud Mommy to a beautiful baby girl ! Patricia, you are one amazing Lady !

Jihane had been brain storming for an original idea for her husband’s surprise birthday party. Jihane’s husband Nadim is a passionate photographer so what better venue than our studio to celebrate such a huge milestone. Nadim’s friends pitched in and got him the light system you see in the photograph, what a great gift for an aspiring photographer.

Thank-you Jihane, Nadim, Karl, Michelle and Nicolas. You’re strong family bond is so contagious as soon as I get home tonight I’m going to give my little ones a few extra hugs and kisses.           Party On !!! Angela

Paula and Andrew met on a blind date 5 years ago and it`s been a match made in heaven ever since.
Andrew carefully planned their walk up the mountain at Murray Hill Park overlooking the city. He had left a treasure chest there full of mementos of their relationship. Upon arrival at the bench where the treasure chest was placed Andrew`s heart began racing as they came across 2 men standing there . Luckily for Andrew as they got closer the men left and his plan could continue ?. At which point Andrew asked Paula `What`s this box doing here ?“ to which Paula replied “Don`t open it ! It could be dangerous !“ He then replied “let me just open it and see“. Paula was a little confused by this as Andrew opened the box and handed it to her . The treasure chest contained pictures of them throughout their relationship, tickets of places they had been together such as concerts, comedy shows and trips, her favorite foods, bottle of champagne and 2 champagne glasses. As Paula was looking through the box Andrew got down on one knee , took the ring out of his pocket and asked Paula if she would spend the rest of her life with him. And she said Yes ! …… and the rest is history!
Paula and Andrew thank-you for being so kind,so good looking,so calm, so much fun to be around ! I truly had the best time, I wish you the kind of love that knows no end. Lots of Love xoxoxo

I just love love love love this moment !!!
