Helping fight poverty.

My girlfriend and I have entered a competition. Although it seems odd to think of competing with other people to help fight poverty. In that sense there are no winners and losers. Anyway, the Grameen Foundation has started and Ingenuity competition to see who can use social networking the most effectively to raise money for and educate people about micro loans. So, for each session and seat booked in one of my classes through February 9th I will be donating $27 to the fund. $27 was the amount of the first micro loan given by Nobel prize winner Mohommad Yunis. Our goal is to find 270 people to donate 27 each by February 9th. So book a session, sign up for a class (in OP or Lawrence), just donate and/or tell all your friends! www.momsinthemirror.com

Like a portrait party but different.

I used to do portrait parties all the time but my schedule got full and I also never liked feeling so rushed. I still get calls and emails from people asking me to do them so I've come up with something sort of similar but different. :)

The Digital Mini-Sessions. Get 2 of your friends (total of 3 of you) for this mini-session and for $350 each you get a 20 minute session and all your digital images (approx. 10) on CD. (No session fee) This is a great way for you and your friends to not only pay no session fee but to also get all your images on CD so you can print them to your hearts content. Print them for yourself, for your family to scrapbook with, whatever. With only 3 families it gives me some breathing room. If one of the kids isn't in the mood at that moment we'll just give them a break and do one of the other kids and then can go back to him or her when they're ready.

I'm a big planner so its no surprise that I'm already thinking about Mother's Day and Father's Day. Schedule a session in March or April so you can have time to print your images for those Grandparent's. They make great gifts!

Classes in Overland Park & Lawrence.

Our Oveland Park classes have been so successful that with my move to De Soto I have decided to offer classes in Lawrence too. Photography 101 begins on January 27th in Overland Park at Evoultion Photographics on Wednesdays from 7-8:30. And in Lawrence at the Union Depot on Thursdays from 7-8:30.

Then Photo Editing 101 will begin on March 31st in Overland Park-same location, night and time. And in Lawrence on April first-same location, night and time.

Later this year we will also start offering one day photo fieldtrips (at the request of many students) where we will go out to a location and shoot for a while talking about lighting and settings and then go back and take a look at what we shot and play around with it in Photo Shop Elements.

Email if you have any questions. These classes will be offered twice a year in both locations.

Baby A

What a beautiful family to work with. Baby A was so sweet and I had so many favorite images I could hardly pick just a few to show!
