I've been obsessed with capturing images since I was a little girl.

I am so excited to announce the winner of my “Giving is Awesome!” giveaway!  I ended up receiving a total of 15 nominations and I spent so much time reading them over and over to determine who is the most deserving of a complimentary portrait session.  Boy, was it TOUGH!  But, one story stood out to me from the beginning…this family is going through the ultimate battle right now…the fight for a life…

Here is an excerpt from their nomination, which was written by Sue “A”:

“I would like to nominate the “B” family for your complimentary photography.  Ray is a Port of Seattle Police Officer. He is a K-9 Handler for K9 Alma and they work Bomb Detection. Ray is a dedicated and hard worker.  Within the last 6 months to one year, Ray and his family have suffered thru and are dealing with critical medical issues.  Six months ago Ray experienced a stroke/brain bleed, which they’d been told was “inoperable”, yet they found the necessary resources, had surgery, recovered and was back to work.  Ray recently was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which in turn turned out to be cancer. It is the most aggressive form there is.  Despite this, his outlook is sunny and he’s fighting the whole way. He had surgery to remove the tumor and is currently undergoing radiation and chemo to keep fighting it.

Ray and his family – 3 boys and his partner Michelle, live in Gig Harbor, along with K9 Alma, who is also his constant companion.  They now make nearly daily trips from Gig Harbor to Seattle for treatments.  Between the wear and tear on their vehicles, gas, co-pays, etc. I know they could NEVER afford special, custom photography such as what you advertise. What a GIFT and TREASURE to give this family – professional beautiful family pictures to last a lifetime”

My prayers are with you & your family right now.  I look forward to meeting you for your session in 2010!

And Sue, as the nominator, you will receive a $100 print credit with Jessica Hamlin Photography.  Thank you so much for this nomination!

After reading all the stories, I knew that I had to do something for each family nominated.  I will be contacting each of them today to offer them a $100 print credit for my photography services.  My Christmas present to them during this tough economic time.

Thank you again for all who participated!  It’s amazing to be able to share my love of photography with you all.  God bless & Merry Christmas!!
