“Motherhood is a choice you make every day to put someone else’s happiness and well-being

ahead of your own.” – Donna Bell

You’re their first kiss…

Their first love….

And their first friend, as their mommy.

They are your whole world. 

But they soon forget that they used to actually LIKE hanging out with you J 

I have very few photos of me with my mother from childhood.  So to celebrate the moms I know, I want you to make sure your kids don’t say the same thing as adults. I’m working on an event just for moms and their kiddos to raise money for Danialle Karmanos’ Work It Out Youth Organization. 

For just a $100 donation, you can schedule a 30-minute mini-session from Saturday, April 25^th through Sunday, May 10th with me at Platinum Imagery Portrait Studio, and we’ll create a few great images of you with your kiddo.

It’s a bit different than the usual larger session we do every few years, but the focus is just on getting a few images of you with your child.  I’ll gift you two 5x7’s of your favorite image from the session, plus a fun Facebook timeline image for your donation.

I only have space to do 20 of these sessions so wanted to be sure you knew about it first.  Shoot me a reply or give me a call a (248) 594-0024 to get yours booked.

Hope to see you soon!

About Danialle Karmanos’ Work It Out 

The mission of Danialle Karmanos’ Work It Out, in partnership with DMC Children’s Hospital of Michigan, is to promote optimum health in mind, body and spirit through a comprehensive yoga-based approach that reduces anxiety, prevents childhood obesity and increases self-esteem. Founded in 2005, DKWIO is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that delivers quality programming to give children the tools to make healthy choices. To learn more, visit dkwio.org. 

As many of you know, over the last year the focus of our portrait studio has shifted to documenting women in all the various stages of their lives.  I knew that part of the reason creating beautiful images of women resonated with me was because I personally was always avoiding having my picture taken. 

But as I met with more and more clients, I found that it wasn’t just me that struggled with feeling too fat or too old and avoided being included in family photographs.  What I’ve come to learn through working with many gorgeous, creative and loving women of all shapes and sizes is that we all ARE good enough to be in photos and that we SHOULD be in those photos for ourselves and for our children and families.  What better gift than photos that they can cherish for the rest of their lives? Whether it be images of yourself, images with your children or images with your parent or, as in the case above, with a beloved sister.  These images will ultimately be one of the most important possessions they (and you) can own.

Remember, this life is not a dress rehearsal – allow us to help you celebrate YOU!
