Recently I read an article about a family that was dealing with one of life's toughest cards- their little girl was battling cancer. Being a mother (and an aunt) I cannot fathom what that family is going through. During this time, it was important to the mother to find a photographer to take their family photos. Anyone that has (or knows anyone that has) dealt with a medical emergency or a long-term illness is aware of the insane medical bills, so affording a photographer (when you need one the most) can be an issue. So, that got me thinking...maybe its time to simply give back to someone in need, or someone that deserves it. Hence the campaign "Giving Back 2012". No matter what it is they are dealing with (or have dealt with) in life- whether medical issues, financial hardship, the loss of a loved one, etc...all stories will be read and considered. Also please note that the actual story will not be publicized in any manner.
How Will it Work?
First let me state that this session will come with a disk, so financially there is absolutely nothing that is required.
