Canal Port Plaza | Morris IL Photographer | 2013 Giving Thanks Contest Winner

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:

Entry 6

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.

This beautiful woman is handling her battle with strength & grace.  I loved seeing the obvious respect her children have for 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.

Meet Carol

I have been taking pictures since I was old enough to use a camera   . . . back then it was a little 110 mm! One of my favorite parts of becoming a mother was having two little girls who loved being in front of the camera as much as I loved hiding behind it.   Read More
