Paying it forward....

Ok, I am feeling especially blessed as we start this new year. No, I didn't make a million dollars last year, something even better happened.


As many of you know, we adopted a little girl and brought her home in October of last year. When I first started my photography business about three years ago, I remember thinking that we wanted to use some of the money to adopt again. That was always my goal, one of the main reasons I worked so hard at my business. And for those of you who have met our little girl Lakyn (also known as Rosey), you know that it was worth every late night minute of editing. She is the perfect fit to our family. She brings us so much joy and happiness. It is hard to believe that she has only been with us for three months. The adoption was one of the most emotional experience of our lives. As we left her former home, Dan and I knew our lives were forever changed because in the back seat was one of seven most precious gifts God has given us!! Below are a few pictures of that sweet girl....






 
So I thought it would be great to pay it forward. I thought, "what better way to show my appreciation to the great clients I have but to pass something along to someone who deserves it." With your help here is what I would like to do.....I would like you to tell me about someone who is deserving of a session and a $250.00 print credit! Maybe it is someone that is sick, has a sick child, is a single parent, is a special elderly friend, is someone who works hard and gives back, is a deserving high school senior or, maybe, it is you! It can be someone who just can't afford custom photography or someone who doesn't take the time to do something for themselves. Tell me why you think this person deserves this!


Why am I doing this? Because I know I will get back much more than I give!

So if you have someone you would like to nominate, just send me an email at: juliemartinphotography@live.com or call me at 517-256-3623 or Facebook me. Tell me about this deserving person. All nominations need to be in by February 10th. The winner will be announced by February 16th.
