Pro Bono...

I've been doing a lot of free shoots lately, and doing contests to give away free shoots. This picture is from one of those shoots.

I was supposed to have a Westwood High School student shadowing me on tuesday, so I set up a photoshoot, free of charge so she would have something to shadow. This baby was one of the lucky recipients. The student never showed up, but we had a great time, and got lots of great shots! I'm glad we did this one.

Why do pro bono work you might ask? Well, God didn't give me this talent so that I could become rich, he gave it to me so that I could give back to others. That is what I am doing. Whether it is through free photo shoots or by giving profits to charity, it is what brings me joy and helps me to give back. Giving back is a very important part of why i do what I do. That is why I strive to keep my prices low.

I announced just today that 10% of the profits from diaper divas and diva darlings will go to buckner international to help children who need families.

I love what I do, and I love this talent that God has blessed me with.
