I Get to Work with the Nicest People

"...I am looking so forward to meeting you. I have wanted a nice family photograph for years now. This is the perfect timing and I believe you are the perfect one to be doing it!"

I get to work with the best people! I got the sweetest email from a portrait client yesterday. Shortly after posting about still honoring the session I was going to donate for the Dara Hatcher auction, Dara's aunt (of all people) contacted me. She was looking for my gift certificate at the auction to bid on it, and then saw my post afterwards. I'm so pleased to not only be able to still donate to the cause, but to sort of be doing a two-fold blessing for the family! Anyway, we've been trying to nail down some dates, and I received this email from her. It put some sunshine in my day, so I thought I would share. Happy Wednesday!

Dara Hatcher Auction

What would you do if the unthinkable happened…

Somewhere between remembering to sign up your child for soccer, picking up more eggs, and seeing the doctor for the headaches you've been having, you were told you have a rare brain tumor. That is just the news that Dara Hatcher received a few weeks ago. Since then, the Dara Hatcher Foundation has been created, and the funds raised will be used to help enable Dara (a single mother) and her son, Dante, to remain in their home, cover Dara's COBRA payments, and assist with the payment of her mounting medical bills. Also, a fundraising auction will be held for Dara in a few weeks:

Tuesday, March 11th, 5-7pm
Deschutes Brewery, Mountain Room
901 SW Simpson Avenue
Bend, Oregon

I'll be there, and will be auctioning off a portrait session to the highest bidder! Please join me--put it down on your calendar, pay the $20 at the door to get in, and open your wallets to a great cause!
