In 2014, my mini sessions will be photographed with a purpose: To help raise funds and awareness for people who need it. Together this year, we’ll donate $15 for each photographed session to three deserving organizations that have become greatly significant in my life, each for a special reason and each with a special story. Over the year, I hope you’ll enjoy not only receiving gorgeous photos of your family, but also seeing a peek into my life as I share three of my very biggest charitable passions.

My first Mini for a Purpose is in honor of my mom, who my son lovingly calls Mini. She is tiny but full of giant love. She is faithful and beautiful, loved by every single person who has ever met her, a school nurse, wife, mother, sister and grandmother. She is so many things way before she is a breast cancer patient. But she is a cancer patient and one who is fiercely brave and well on her way to a cure. On Friday we toasted to her final chemotherapy treatment and are looking forward to celebrating her great health at the Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure in April.

So it is with a huge, happy heart that I will be photographing my first Mini for a Purpose for my mom and so many other women who need the same healing research, doctors and care that my she had. With each session photographed, I will donate $15 to my Race For The Cure team.
