Tis the Season of Giving. . .

I love that my job gives me the ability to bring joy to people's hearts and faces. I love that I can create timeless memories that will last a lifetime. A client once told me : "Your work will outlive you in family albums for generations to come, how cool!"

I know that being able to afford a personal photographer is a luxury, and while I aim to keep the quality of my work tremendously high while shooting to keep my prices affordable, there are people that are still struggling on a daily basis just to buy milk and keep a roof over their heads.

Christmas is a time for joy and hope and giving. I would like to give as well. I will be giving away standard photo sessions to families that deserve it, but can't afford it. I am asking that you nominate someone you know- someone you think would cherish the gift of a photo session but can't afford it for one reason or another. You can explain their family situation, their particular hardships, or why you think they are deserving people. Please if possible include a photo!

• Your Phone Number
  
• The Nominees name

• Why they are being Nominated

Use Shutterfly for your Holiday Christmas Cards!

Being a professional photographer, a lot of people ask me where they should get prints and cards and invitations made. This time of year, I thought it would be a good time to tell you, that I think Shutterfly ROCKS!!!!

There are a lot of choices out there, that you can use for your Holiday Greetings and gifts, but there is only one that I recommend!!! Shutterfly has hundreds of AFFORDABLE options, sizes, colors! They are amazing! I am a huge fan of the "Oh what Fun" Christmas card! If you're not a photo editor, they also have great ways for you to edit your photo on Shutterfly.com when you upload to design your card!!! You can soften the image, make it sepia and black and white, you can saturate it for a dramatic effect. It's really very cool, the options and flexibility they give you on their site!

I can't say enough great things about them! They are also very timely and will get you your products faster than any other company I have worked with!

Below see the links to their cards, invitations and other products.
Give 'em a try this year! You won't be disapointed! :)
