I was listening to the radio today, and I heard a story about a little girl who will not eat food today. They described how her mother will make her a "dirt cookie" made of clay, shortening, and salt. She will eat this so that her stomach feels full, but it will not provide any nourishment.
Wow. That really puts things in perspective. We live in a society where someone has to tell us to leave some food on our plate because we eat more than we need and have an obesity epidemic. We eat when we are not even hungry.
By donating just $13, you can feed a child for an entire month! I think all of us could easily go without $2 worth of food per day for one week to feed a child for one month. Perhaps you can give up one latte per week.
I gave a donation, but, somehow, it just doesn't seem to be enough. I want to give more. We are asking our clients to help us give more. We have decided to give HALF of all our sevice sales for the month of March. We are not raising our prices. We really are giving half to these beautiful children.
If you are ready to book a photographer for your wedding, you know what the going rates are. Imagine. You can feed many children without going outside of the budget you've already created. Maybe a wedding isn't in your near future. In that case, you can take advantage of a private portrait session or services for any other event.
Don't need pictures? That's fine, but, please, still donate today.
Many thanks and many blessings to all.

Mina and I have been friends since, oh my gosh, 2001 when we attended culinary school together. We have gone through many changes in life, but, alas, we are still here.

It is always such a pleasure to photograph a family, specially a family that demonstrates so much love for each other. These images reflect the affection, care, and tenderness that they have for one another. Sandra, Alejandro, and Tonie illustrate the exemplary qualities of a family through each gesture. Alejandro, a basketball star and model student, embraces his mother & sister constantly with great love & affection. Tonie, a brilliant & adorable young lady, possess a powerful bear hug that melts the hearts of both mother & brother. Sandra, a fantastic & loving mother, brings great joy to her children through her touch & her care.
Thank you very much Sandra, Alejandro, & Tonie! I had a wonderful time & thank you for sharing a bit of your life & the precious qualities that embody your family.
