Giving is Awesome - and the winner is...

I received many, many nominations of deserving families, but this one just touched my soul.

The recipient of a portrait session and $250 print credit is Little Kennedy, nominated by her aunt, Toye.

My name is Toye and the person I believe that is deserving of the photo shoot is my new niece, Kennedy.  Our family just suffered the tragic loss of my niece...  This loss has rocked my family in a major way with the most being financial.  We did not have any insurance so we had to pay for the funeral.  My brother, Kennedy's father, works seasonally in construction and therefore does not have money to have her photographed.  Even though my brother really couldn't afford to, he helped me and my sister pay for my niece's funeral.  The financial stress of this loss, and trying to pay for my sister to get back and forth out of state to attend the trials of my niece's murderers, has caused our new niece Kennedy to be put to the back burner.

My mother and sister were not in attendance for her baby shower...I was there but my heart wasn't in it, because it was aching too badly and we didn't have any money left to get my brother a gift for the baby.  She's such a precious new baby and I think she deserves the photo shoot since her birth was overshadow by her cousin's death.

  Toye - please check your email for a message from me.  As the person who nominated Kennedy, you receive a free mini-session and $50 print credit.

I look forward to meeting this precious little girl.  May 2010 be a better year for this family.
