Meredith & Luke : Project Give Back

Just a few days ago I announced Project Give Back

Meet the first couple for this Project.....

This is Meredith and Luke. Two very sweet people. I first met Meredith when she asked me to photograph her wedding in 2008. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so happy to be a part of it.

Fast forward to the Christmas Season of 2011. While most people are celebrating what the Season means they had to endure the loss of everything in a house fire. Ever since I heard about it, I have been heart broken for them. I can't begin to image to know what it would be like to lose everything you own. Clothes. Furniture. Pets. Photos.   A few months later I made her a new wedding album and remade her CD's of her bridal session and wedding.

They were able to rebuild in the spot where they lost everything, and almost exactly one year after the fire, they moved into their new home.

I know that I can't give them back the photos they lost, but it is my hope that these photos will help create new memories.

Project Give Back

ANNOUNCING Project Give Back!!

God gives us all talents, gifts, and abilities to help others. Whether it be dancing, teaching, cooking, or another gift, we are all able to help others.

I may not be able to perform surgery but I can do many things with what God has given me.

That's where Project Give Back comes in.

For the past 5 years I have held a contest and given away a free wedding. I decided not to the that this year. Instead of picking one couple, I will pick several. Several families who can use a blessing. I may "just be a photographer" but I believe that no matter what gift you have, you are able to touch someone with love and kindness.

Through out the year I will be choosing UP TO 4 families who will receive a free photo session There is no set date of when someone will be chosen. It could be April, July..... How will I find out about these families? Well, that's where YOU come in! We all know someone who would love something like this, so I'm asking all of you to let me know of a family or person who you want to nominate.

You can send as many nominations as you want through out 2013...

Please email your nominations or questions to jenniferscamera1@aol.com

And stay tuned this weekend to meet the first family of  Project Give Back!
