It is my absolute pleasure to give a completely FREE session to a deserving individual once a year. As I reflect on all the wonderful blessings in my life, I look for opportunities to share with others. Each November, I sponsor a Giving Thanks Contest that allows YOU to nominate somebody you feel should receive a portrait session. The contest is posted on my business facebook page and then my friends & fans “vote” for the entry they feel is most deserving. This was the winning entry in 2013:
I was thrilled when Jackie’s mother was chosen as the winner & was equally thrilled when I had the opportunity to spend time with her & her beautiful family yesterday. She truly is a wonderful person & I can see that her family loves her & is very proud of her.
I was SO impressed with their fantastic wardrobe coordination! Don’t they look GREAT?!
This beautiful woman is handling her battle with strength & grace. I loved seeing the obvious respect her children have for her . . .
. . . and, the way her grandchildren obviously ADORE her!
She certainly didn’t choose this difficult path in her life, but I know that she is not walking it alone. Her beautiful eyes twinkle with FIGHT, and she is surrounded by a family that loves her & is cheering for her. Let’s join them! Please say a prayer for her and leave her a note of encouragement.
Thanks again, Jackie, for nominating your mother! I hope these photos bring her MANY years of Today. Everlasting.
