Hampton Roads Mother's Day Giveaway

I have had this idea for a giveaway roaming around in my head for a long time now, but to be honest I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to get started.  Today I read two different blogs (written by mothers) about young ones who have gone onto heaven and I was empowered by their strength.

As I read through the many blog posts, with tears rolling down my face, I was drawn to the countless images.  While the words written helped tell the story, the images captured the essence and the memories.  Behind those images I couldn't help to think that in the mist of this emotional time there stood a mother with her camera doing everything she could to preserve the story of her child’s life.  As a mother, I have great respect for their strength, love, and dedication.  

So I told myself today…I am not going to let this just be an idea any longer.  It is time to act! 

I have had the privilege of meeting some incredible mother's through my business.  Mother's that endure LONG deployments, mother's who take in ailing family members, mothers who have suffered job loss, divorce…my list could go on and on.  I am sure that all of you could say, “I know some incredible mom's who inspire me and have made me a better mom.”  I know that I can!

Mother's Day is a few months away, but I want to start putting this giveaway together now and need some help.  I would love to give a mom (and her family of course) a FREE session, but I would also love to give them more, so I am looking for anyone who would like to help me give a mother an extra special Mother’s Day.  

Once I have put everything together I will announce the details, but in the meantime please pass this on to anyone who you think might want to donate.
