March 2011
March has arrived and spring is right around the corner! One of the highlights of March for me is seeing the cover of the Lake Norman Magazine “Blossom”. For this month’s cover I was not only the photographer, but also a proud mom! You will have to get yourself a copy and see which Pope cutie is gracing the cover of this month’s issue. Pick up your copy now… and yes… my dearest Pierce is on showcase…:)This month I am back in full swing! Thankfully the weather has been amazing because I am booked solid for March. The next couple of months are also full, so if you are thinking of pictures for summer, please book now. The sooner you can book the better.In March I get back to doing what I truly love, capturing cute couples and parents with their little ones! Also this month, my semi-annual charity event will take place that I started years ago. My neighbors sign up for “mini” photo sessions with all the proceeds that are raised going towards a great cause! It’s a lot of work, as I start shooting first thing in the morning and I go until the sun begins to set. However, the work is well worth it! Over the years I have been able to donate to people and organizations that are close to my heart. Giving back and giving to others is one the most important things I can do with my time and money. It is why I do these charity events twice a year. It gives me an opportunity to connect with my neighbors and friends, and allows me to give them something while we all give to back to others.It makes me think of the many children and families I have photographed over the years that have faced some pretty serious life struggles. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, or the day to day struggle of dealing with a seriously ill child, these people are inspirational to me. This month I am thinking of one family in particular that live in my neighborhood that I’ve been fortunate enough to get to know.The daughter is such a little treasure, and someone that has been through a lot at a very young age. She is an inspiration to her family and brings joy to everyone she meets. She has also taught her parents so much about love, patience and courage. Hearing her story it reminds me how important it is to cherish every moment with the ones that we love. This is a very special family, and I feel honored to know them. I look forward to another session with them this month and capturing even more precious pictures of this little girl!
