Catch Up

Time for me to play catch up. I still have three more proof sets to post but I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you who voted in the National Charity Model Search. Your donations will mean so much to those families who must endure the unimaginable. Here is a sneak peek for one of my patient families (thank you!)

Today is the last day to vote!!!

Please remember, your donation helps families who suffer the heartbreaking loss of a newborn. NILMSTS and their growing team of volunteer photographer's provide treasured keepsakes to the families of the only time spent with their beloved babies. This is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.

I just have to share!!! One of my clients traveled with the Nouveau Dance Company from Plainfield, IL to Davenport, Iowa this past Saturday. She participated in the Starpower dance competition and a most photogenic contest. The dance company took many top honors including numerous Platinum and Double Platinum awards. Way to go girls and our own Alexis Canon won Most Photogenic, beautiful and talented!! We couldn't be prouder!

The winning photograph!
