{christmas cheer…all year!!}

i’m so excited! i’m so excited!

over the last few months, i have been seeking God in some business decisions for next year.  last week, when i photographed gerrit and his family, the lord made something very clear to me that he wanted me to implement.  christmas cheer all year!!  for the past two christmases, i have done a christmas cheer giveaway.  families were nominated to win who needed some extra cheer for various reasons (job loss, health issues, etc.).   i have loved it and have been blessed by the families i’ve photographed.  i’ve also done various sessions during this past year that i called {blessing} sessions that were donated to families in need.  this year, god has led me to the decision to make this idea an intentional part of my business.  to seek out families, not just offer it when needed.  that means, each month, more than words will donate one session and a cd with all images to a family in need.  i can’t wait to start!  this decision just gives me such joy in my heart because i’m following the path that my savior has planned for me.

{do you know of someone who could use a session? contact me and share their story!}

**are you a professional photographer? contact me if you’d like to join in and implement something like this where you are- i’d love to start a group on fb or something**

sooo, what does that mean for all who entered??  well, the christmas cheer all year will start with all of you!  each person/family that was nominated, will get a free session and cd.    {by the way, i wish i could share the stories sent in.  many of them had me in tears.  i was so touched by the emails and the pain that so many are facing.  however,  i want to be respectful of privacy, so i will let the families share what they would like when i post about their sessions.}
