Giving Back 2021

December 01, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

Over the years I have supported various local causes through my business.  Whether it's Toys for Tots during the holidays or donating to a charity of  choice when someone books a session, I love being involved in our community. I have been wanting to focus on one particular cause for a while now, and I'm excited to announce that I have decided on a focus for 2021!  EDUCATION!!!

For each session booked, I will donate $10 to a teacher via Donors Choose.  I will aim to help teachers in Pitt County, NC whenever possible. If not, I will choose a teacher from my hometown area in New England.  As a former teacher, education is close to my heart and extremely important to me. I used Donors Choose myself as a teacher and was able to gain funding for lots of fun projects and necessary materials for my classroom. 


It brings me joy to be able to support education even though I am no longer in the classroom. I know how much it will mean to the teachers and students to receive donations. If you are looking for somewhere to give back, Donors Choose is a wonderful organization. Check it out here. 

I look forward to working together with my clients to give back to teachers and students in the upcoming year! 

 


Small Business Saturday 2020

November 28, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm all about eating, drinking, and shopping locally. During the quarantine, supporting our local businesses was important to my husband and me. This included lots of take out, beers to go from the breweries, and shopping on line. We wanted to show our support for our community and do our part to help make sure our favorite businesses survived this crazy time.  Now that the holidays are here, it's the perfect time show continued support. 

The 2020 holiday season is the most important time of all for us to support small on line and local businesses.  

Small Business Saturday started as a campaign launched by American Express on Nov. 27, 2010, to help small businesses gain exposure and to inspire consumers to shop within their own communities during the holiday season. The day became official in 2011 when Washington State mayors, governors, senators and President Obama shared their support for Small Business Saturday. 

I'm excited to share my Small Business Saturday 2020 special with you!  The special will run from Saturday 11/28 through Christmas Eve 12/24.

Abrams-Martin Wedding 2020

November 23, 2020  •  Leave a Comment

During this unsettled year, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture a wonderful couple's wedding day. Like many brides and grooms, Kelly and Ryan's wedding plans didn't go quite as expected. They had to reschedule, relocate, and adjust all of their plans. Unfortunately, not all of their family members were able to attend. However, they were so positive and made the absolute best of it. It was so heart warming to see that although it looked a lot different than how they imagined, they didn't let it get them down and were able to enjoy their special day. There was so much happiness and love in the room, and that is exactly what we all need right now. I had an absolute blast working with them and all of the guests! Everyone was so kind and friendly and I could tell they all truly enjoyed and appreciated being part of the big day. 

Some of your 2020 and 2021 events may be small and intimate, but you still want to capture your special moments. I'm available for small events, weddings, and parties. (Following safety guidelines of course) I enjoy seeing all the unique ways that people are celebrating these days, and I'd love to be the one to provide memories for you.

All year long I enjoy eating and shopping locally and supporting small on line businesses. I especially like to shop small during the holiday season. I think this year more than ever it's important to support small businesses.  In addition to supporting them, you can find better quality and unique items. Win-win!  I've put together a list of some of my favorite small businesses. Shop in person or on line! Whether you need gifts, stocking stuffers, or home and fashion items for yourself to dress up this holiday season, shopping small is the way to go!

I've been busy preparing for this year's holiday mini sessions and I'm excited!  For the first time I'll be offering Mailbox Minis!  This year is all about thinking outside of the box. Your child will bring his/her letter for Santa to the session. I will photograph them "mailing" the letter, along with a few poses. After the session you will receive via email, the edited, digital images and your child will receive a response letter from Santa in the mail.  The photos will be perfect for this year's holiday cards and/or gifts. Turnaround is quick, so you'll have plenty of time to create your cards and gifts. In addition to taking care of your holiday photo needs, it's a fun activity for your children!
