Back in December, you probably remember me asking for nominations of families who you thought were deserving of a free custom portrait session. Your nominees were families who have faced hardships and for whatever reason, would not otherwise be able to afford a custom photographer.
The Roberts Family was chosen, and our session was completed this afternoon. Words cannot describe how much fun I had with Anthony, Mandy, and their son Landon. We walked all around the main campus area at Valdosta State University and had a wonderful time exploring.
I must warn you that this post has picture overload. There was no way that I could keep it down to my usual 5-6 images. In fact, I'm already finished editing the session and it wasn't even 5 hours ago. Let's face it, when a kid is as adorable as Landon, I couldn't help editing his adorable face. You'll see quite a few expressions in the pictures below!
My favorite image from the session... and possibly of all time.
Thank you SO much, Roberts Family, for allowing me to capture your family. And special thanks to Anthony's sister for nominating them!
Hearing about people in need, especially around the holidays, turns me into a complete sap... so it's no surprise that when I read the submissions I received for the Giving is Awesome project, I cried at each one. I wish I could offer everyone who e-mailed me a free session and products but after a lot of deliberation, I finally decided on a winner!
Congratulations Roberts Family!
And just because the message pulled my heart strings, here's a blurb from the e-mail I received: "Please accept this as a nomination for my brother and his family… it is excruciating to watch your family member or loved one go through circumstances that seem impossible and that are out of your control to change in any way… I want him to never forget that people love them, people care about them, and that God has not forgotten them.”
I can't wait to get our session scheduled and share the images!! Stayed tuned within the next few months.
