For a while now I’ve wanted to give away a free session with copyright to someone who really needs it. The best part is we’re not just giving away one photo shoot, we’re giving away SIX! Maybe more….I have 5 other amazing photographers who are also wanting togive of their time and talent.
We’re looking for people who are truly deserving and in need of documenting their life through photos. For example, families with ill children or parents that don’t have extra money, but would love to have professional photos and keepsakes of what may not come tomorrow. A single mom struggling to make ends meet, a family who has no income because of this crazy economy…we know there is a great need, we just need to find you! 
Please nominate yourself, a family member, or a friend, who you feel is in need of this service. Email me their/your story, where they live and why you think they deserve this. All nominations must be in by JUNE 7th, 2009. We will do our best to meet the needs of all those who are need. We have photographers in or traveling to; Utah, Arizona, Las Vegas, and Oregon.

There must be a baby boom going on! Thanks so much you guys for making the trek down here to bring in both of your beautiful boys! You guys are such a pleasure to work with 
Here is your sneak peak with lots more to show you soon!
On another note, all of those that have submitted pics for the model call, Im just going through and organizing things a bit, we are looking at tuesday or thursday of next week. If you are interested in booking a session I am now booking into June and July. I have a few spots left open in June. If you are expecting and wanting newborn portraits please book for your due date to hold your spot.
This baby was so new, only 4 sweet days old! Her parents made sure to bring her in early to get those curled up cuddly shots that disappear so quickly. I cannot believe how fast children grow during the first year, that first year is so full of huge milestones and changing appearances, makes me sad to think how fast time flies, and why its so important to capture memories…..awe babies lol. Thanks so much you guys for coming in and seriously that skull blanket has to be the coolest thing I have EVER seen!!!! So naturally I have to post one of my favorite pictures from our session Enjoy the sneak peak!
the last one melts my heart….nothing like the bond of siblings.
