Giving Back {2011}

I have been Reflecting on 2010 and what a blessed year it was not only for our family with the addition of our sweet little girl, the begining of T-ball and pre-school for our boys, and continued growth of our business with fantastic clients!

We have truly been blessed in every aspect of our lives and I feel that I have a direct responsibility to give back and bless others in any way that I can. Last year I had the opportunity to have a very long discussion with the founder of Thirst Relief, a global organization that has made it his mission to impact the lives of communities (specifically families and children) by focusing on one of our simplest and most necessary resources; healthy drinking water.

Through my conversations with Jim (founder of Thirst Relief) I learned so much about what precious a resource it truly is and have made a personal commitment to make an impact.The statistics were heart breaking, but I was delighted to realize the effectiveness of funds when I learned that every $5 will provide clean drinking water to one individual for life! As a mother of three myself, I could not imagine living with a loss or illness of a child simply because they did not have clean water to drink. We will continue to remain active in all our local efforts with non-proffits location right here in Jacksonville, Florida but have decided that this year is the first of many that we will incorporate a global effort and support Thirst Relief with each and every session. Please join me in anyway that you feel led in donation, booking a session or volunteering for any organization that has captured your heart.

Behind the Scenes: Jessica's Headshots

Every time I get to see Jessica it is a little highlight in my day- she is sweet, kind and always has a big smile on her face! Our shoot was no exception and she actually got on to me for making her laugh because her smile was too big- ha! Is there really such a thing as too big of a smile...I think not :)Not only is she fun and smart (ok, the list goes on and on...), she also has a huge heart- recently she headed her first fundraising event for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to benefit the Great Strides Riverwalk! I was so proud of her and also thankful to be able to be able to participate myself in helping her raise money :)Giving back is so important and it does not matter how big or how small- every effort is needed and appreciated...even if all you can offer is a nice BIG smile, do it and you just may make someone's day!

Jess, thanks for your big heart and BIG smile :P

Another Reason to Smile: Support Breast Cancer Research

She has been my rock and wise counselor for years. She taught me how to be clever, appreciate sarcasm, stand up for myself, stay focused on education and to be more confident in speaking my mind. Now, there's just one more attribute to add to the list of things my big sister has inspired and encouraged me to do...get involved and contribute to something you believe in.

This October my sister, April, is participating in the Breast Cancer 3 Days in Atlanta that supports Susan G. Komen for the Cure. She has committed to raise $2300 by participating in the 60 mile walk! Wow- that just blows me away! Not only is it a commitment of her time and energy of the 3 days, but she has been training for this all summer. She has a full time job, is a wife and is a mother of 2 and somehow manages to keep everyone happy, fed, taxied around, train and have a smile on her face and spring (no pun intended) in her step :) ...yes, in short she is like a modern day Wonder Woman (and has the bracelets to prove it...really, I've seen them!)

I was thrilled when she called me and said the words that everyone loves to hear..."I have an idea"... We discussed different ways that I would be able to help her raise the money to contribute to her overall goal and I am so happy to be able to reveal the new packages that not only preserve family memories but that will also help touch so many lives in the process.

Just in time to get a jump on family pictures for Holiday gifts and cards (or just because), these packages could be just what many have been waiting for. Something that fits the budget and also gives back to support such a wonderful cause!

Thank you for taking the time to read about this great event and please share it with all your friends and family- I would love to be able to show my big sis how much support is really out there and just blow right past her initial goal of $2300!!!

Whether you get involved by booking a session, donating, volunteering or participating in events such as these I strongly encourage you to do so to the best of your abilities. We have been blessed in so many areas of our lives and this is just one way to give a little back and ensure that ours and future generations have the same opportunity to receive hope, encouragement and success!
