Karina & Joe

Last summer I donated a bridal and engagement session to the San Antonio Bridal Fair, it took place immediately following Hurricane Ike and the proceeds from the auction sale all went to the Hurricane relief. Karina and Joe were the winners of that auction and took me downtown to LaVillita to do their engagement session, one of their favorite places in San Antonio, and the site of his proposal. Tomorrow I'm off to do Karina's bridal portrait... she is going to be a stunning bride!!!

On the subject of giving back, you can look for gift certificates for photo sessions at auction tomorrow at the Missions Care Golf Tournament at The Quarry and on June 13th at Anne Marie's on Starcrest at a benefit auction to support 5 year old Kenny Hudnall.

Donation to March of Dimes

Valentine's day is tomorrow and today I'm feeling grateful for all the love in my life. I have a friend who just lost her first child, he was born 12 weeks premature and only lived for five days. She has set up a memorial fund in his honor with the March of Dimes, and I am going to donate my next wedding deposit to them, if you choose to hire me next, you can make the check out to them (but mail it and the contract to me). Contact me for details.

Update: Thanks to Kendall Sweet and Eric Fritsch for their $300.00 deposit to fulfill this pledge. I look forward to shooting their wedding in November of this year.
