Madison

I had the opportunity to photograph Madison a couple of days ago. I wanted to try out some new ideas and she was all for it. She even brought all the perfect outfits!! After spending some time with Madison, I've decided that she must be part super hero. She recently broke her ankle, which made portraits a little challenging, but she doesn't let anything get in her way! She hops around like a pro... and she is much more graceful than I am! :) She hides injury well!  Beautiful!!

Country Cuties Contest & Fundraiser

In the last year I have really neglected my blog! I'm trying to change that and incorporate it back into my workflow, so please bear with me!! I felt like I should start back with these important portraits. For those of you who may not know, I teamed up with some ladies and hosted a cutest kids contest & fundraiser for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. We had most photogenic winners, cutest smiles, best box & top fundraisers. The child who received the most public votes won our contest. The key was that votes were by money, so the child who received the most votes was the child who raised the most money for the American Cancer Society. This was my first attempt at something like this, so I was very rough around the edges. I had no idea of the amount of work involved in these things, but everything worked out and I am so proud of the kids who entered. Together we raised a grand total of $4,757.66 for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. 

Our Country Cutie grand prize winner was Miss Emily Godley. Emily & her family & friends raised a total of $880.05! What an outstanding effort!!  

   

Jaylynn Peck was our 2nd Place top fundraiser, raising $387.21!

Hailey Hutchins was our 3rd Place top fundraiser, raising $310.98

Kennady Davis was our 4th top fundraiser, raising $212.25

We also had lots of other winners who were chosen from their portraits. Our judges were from out of town and they had such a hard time choosing their favorites. If you would like to see all the winners, you can find them here:
