I want to send a “Thank you” to the lucky winners of my auction packages for the “Go Pink with the Dragons” this past week.  Between the two packages, $250.00 was raised to be donated to the Roger Maris Cancer Center in Fargo! Thank you again so much for taking part in the auctions.

A few images from Saturdays game…

with cutting off heads and I like it!   Just getting around to taking some new photos of my girls.  Haley and Ally will both have birthdays next Tuesday and it’s time for some updated photos.  I had a little time this evening and 2 of the 3 said yes to my question of  “can I take your picture?”  Nothing fancy just Ally and Em and their perfect little faces.  Emily is a goofy little girl and Ally just has a quiet beauty about herself… She always seems to have that soft little smile… Next weeks challenge… Haley.

The MSUM Athletic department has partnered with local businesses to bring awareness to breast cancer and to raise funds for Roger Maris Cancer Center located in Fargo, ND. All activities are scheduled during the week of February 16-21, 2009. 

I have donated two portrait session packages to help raise money for the “Go Pink with the Dragons” this week.

One package is in the on-line auction through EBay. To view that package click here.  In the middle of the page you will see  in red the words “click here to bid in the on-line auction.” That will then take you to EBay where you will have to sign in.

The other package will be part of the silent auction that will be held on Saturday evening during the basketball games at  Nemzek Hall starting at 6pm.

If you will be scheduling pictures for your child or family this year, what  better way to get some  beautiful portraits and to help raise money for the Roger Maris Cancer Center!

I hope everyone had a day filled with thoughts of Love! Maybe some of you even got engaged today!
I am looking forward to my new website going live this week! I have been working on it little by little over the last 4 months! With the new website, I will be having a little drawing so check back to watch for the announcement!

I am very excited about the next few months ahead. I will be launching my new website soon and can’t wait for you all to see it with updated galleries and information. I will be speaking next month to a wonderful group of Moms on how to take better pictures of their kids!  In April I will be heading South to Alabama for the wedding of Danielle and Kyle. It will be a beautiful wedding that I will be excited to share with you. After that over to North Carolina and back home for the wedding of Lindsey and Blake. This year I will be donating some time in giving back to the community and I will be asking you all for some help. Keep watching for more information on that, it will be awesome!

A few of my favorite images with “J” ’s family from his newborn session. He wasn’t up for sleeping to much… I think he was to excited about watching his first super bowl. Just catching up after a week of the flu going through our house. Glad to be back at the computer today!
