Heart Gallery Alabama Event

Heart Gallery of Alabama is hosting it's 2nd Annual Fotos, Frames & Fun event tonight at 6 pm at Ted's Garage. This wonderful organization recruits professional photographers to do portraits of the children that are in Alabama's foster care system. The portraits are then put in exhibits and on their website to show prospective adoptive families. Their goal is to help each foster child find their forever home.

I volunteer as one of the photographers for this organization, and I've also donated a $300 gift certificate to the silent auction for tonight's event. This can be used toward the session fee and prints or other products for a custom portrait session. If you're in the Birmingham area and would like more information on the event you can find out more on Heart Gallery's website or by calling (205)445-1293.

Helping Hearts {for Haiti}

Much like when Katrina happened, watching the news on the horrible situation in Haiti saddens and frustrates me. There are many incredibly brave men and women who are out there volunteering their time and risking their lives to help. I wish I was in a position and of strong enough constitution to do the same.

But I’m not.

So instead, I’m teaming up some great photographers across the country and together, we’re going to try to help. But, we need you, too!
Here’s the deal:
You can win a portrait session (your choice - newborn, family, you name it) with me:
This session will be photographed by myself anytime before May 30, 2010
Session can last between 1-2 hours.
Winner will also receive 20 fully processed, high resolution images on CD. Print to your heart’s content!
