The Joy Project part II










 This year is going to be different...and we all say that every year with good intentions right?? This year is going to challenge and stretch our abilities beyond what we think we are capable of. We are all capable of so much more than we ever could dream for ourselves!! More joy, More love, more hugs, more air guitar, more thank you's, more dancing in fields of flowers in the rain, less noise, less haste, more family dinners, less crazy schedules that our hair somehow falls out, more walks holding hands, and sometimes we just need to take a step back and reevaluate and balance. 

  WE GET ONE SHOT HERE on this earth and I'm not talking about photography. 
 We are refocusing our goals at Lana Marie Photography and doing something totally new.  

 We are starting off in January, February, and March with this, but we need your help. 

 For this season, we only have 3 appointments available-

 TOTAL. That is one per month.  And here is the biggest part...
THEY ARE FREE! 

 That's right completely free. 

A full session, with disk and digital copies, gallery uploaded to the Lana Marie Photography website and a mini-accordian album of 12 favorite images. 

 Here's where you come in.  
In honor of this upcoming season of acts of kindness and simple joys, please email me a 100-300 word entry for submission on behalf of someone else and why you think that they and their family should get a session, especially if they have never had professional portraits done before...all contact information for you and the family you are submitting --for when you win :) If your entry is chosen then you will also receive $100 off a session when we start normal session times back up in April. 
 Just "Like" our facebook page and share, the more entries the better. You can submit more than one family as well. Below is a link and you can email me the story on the page or to lanamariephotography@gmail.com. 

 Thankful for all of you over the years and I can't say that enough.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! You all mean so much!YOU ROCK :)

    What a loving and heartfelt gesture. I love that you made a point to emphasize that this is an opportunity also for families who have never had family portraits done before. The only pictures I have of me with my mom are a handful of really bad snapshots. She died when I was 13....ironically the last picture ever taken of her was in Alaska while we were there on vacation. In the picture was me, my mom and step-dad. They both died just a few hours after that picture was taken. I am sooooooo thankful for that picture but if I didn't have it, I would be left with some really bad snapshots of us to hold in my hands. What a gift you are giving to families ....you never know what will be your last chance for pictures.
