Pay no attention to that girl behind the camera!!!

I'm unwinding after a very very long week of nothing but work. What better way to have some fun than to hang out at the Transportation Museum???

Trains, planes and automobiles make for great photos.

Please enjoy some self portraits on this chilly January afternoon!

I have no new photos for you today. Instead I've decided to highlight a wonderful organization. I'll probably make this a monthly event.

January is all about NILMDTS.

It is a wonderful, yet heartbreaking cause that I am involved in and it is close to my heart...

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS for short)

NILMDTS is a non-profit organization that exists to assist families suffering an early infant loss.

I went on my first Angel Session yesterday afternoon. It was heartbreaking and it was difficult for me not to cry. At first I had almost decided not to do it ever again. But I looked into the eyes of the family. They were so grateful that we were there doing this for them. It made it worth it. The next time I get the call, I won't hesitate.

NILMDTS does accept donations. If you are interested, please see the website: www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org

Thanks.

Yesterday I took the morning off and headed downtown to do some buying. I didn't come away with anything of interest except for these photos. I did have a great time, despite the fact that I have nothing, other than lunch at Pietro's (Yum!), to show for it.

I do have these new photos! I suppose that will do for now!

This little guy followed me around Cherokee Street for a little while. I suppose he wanted to have his photo taken.

In other news...

Most years, January is a photographers off-season. It seems that I will not be taking the month off as planned. I've started working with NILMDTS. It is such a wonderful charity. I have my first session with them the morning of the 24th.

But before that happens:

January 17th - Bridal Session

January 19th - Infant Session

January 23rd - School Starts!

January 24th - NILMDTS morning Session

January 24th - Father/Daughter Charity Dance

So that is my January!

If you are planning in booking a Valentine's Day session, please contact me BEFORE the 23rd of this month! I have tons of adorable card templates ready to go!
