Dear Seniors... Happy Distancing & a Free Gift!

Hey ya'll, 
With soooooooooo much happening in our world right now, I've been brainstorming daily on the best ways to serve my seniors and family clients during this time. As I was chatting with my senior client, Molly,  last week in particular, she shared with me some updates about school being cancelled indefinitely, prom  being cancelled, and generally everything in life coming to a stand still. Her mom is in the medical field at Sacred Heart and has created a new family routine for how to keep themselves safe as she will be going to and from work.  

We. are. all. there! 
Whether you or someone you know is currently sick or whether you're just NOT going in public for anything (except to buy a TON of toilet paper)... Life is UPROOTED right now. There's uncertainty in every news update. It seems like this is the beginning of a new journey for us. As much as a hopeful thinker I love to be, I know this time is not rainbows and butterflies, nor will it just be a little hiccup and then we continue as normal.  Many, many lives are forever changed and disrupted. 

One verse that has been on my heart lately: 

Ephesians 3:14-19 
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 

My favorite thing about the Bible is that these words are alive and active, sharper than any two edged sword. 

In that verse, there's a line about being rooted and grounded in love. Our God is a loving, merciful, tender, and kind God. The depth of His great love surpasses human knowledge! His love is supernatural. 

That said, In this time in which we all need a sense of stability, I hope and pray that we find that stability in HIM, our provider and the lover of our souls. 

"That we may be ROOTED and GROUNDED in love..." I hope our roots can grow deep in love and be nourished by living water, causing fruit to bear in every season. 

So, here's how I feel led to LOVE you guys right now!

For the month of April... I'm giving away (completely free with no catch) 15 minute senior mini sessions by Fantasia including 5 unique portraits!

YAY! This will be a great opportunity for any seniors who may not have been able to set up a senior session prior to the new social distancing, and now life is in a tailspin. 

I realize too that some simply cannot spend the money in this time to hire a professional photographer. Some families are especially pressed right now with lay offs and no sign of when they may return to work, so let this be a simple reminder that you are LOVED and SEEN and I hope this simple gift brings joy to your senior experience. 

These mini sessions will be photographed in a completely remote from large groups greenery setting from a long zoom lens distance! We will respectfully avoid close contact and take precaution for a quick and distance-full session that's still fun && creative! 

Note: Additional portraits can be purchased and edited after the mini session but again this is not required! An additional set will be offered at $350 (tax included) and include 10 more portraits because heyyyyy let's admit it, some of us like options! 

Note: Senior portrait sessions typically start at *950 for a 30-45 min sunset session, so this is a one time April opportunity to jump on! 

Seniors, REACH OUT,  and I'll share our date and time slot list for you to choose from!

Styled Summer Beach Session | Little Miss Creative | Ophelias Swimwear | Peaches to Pearls

Friends, I'm writing up a personal blog for how I'd love to serve you during this difficult season for our world... Keep your eyes peeled for that early next week. Until then... 

For now, I HAVE to share this precious feature that came across my memory gallery yesterday and made me swoon all over again. We had a blast pursuing through Watercolor, swinging tote bags, trying out suit and jewelry looks, searching for that golden glowing sunshine, and learning from each other about our small businesses and what inspires us. I remember this day like it was yesterday, and still adore these girls and their passions to pursue their dreams.
