Paper Moon Photography

I’ve had in my mind for awhile to try and do a fund raiser by doing a Facebook Profile picture marathon. I had wanted to do it when Haiti was hurt, but I didn’t. Then I thought of doing it when Chili had it’s disaster situation. But I didn’t. Then I found something that had more of a personal connection to me, and I know that this is what I want to try and help out with.

The following article was written about a girl from my hometown of Meadow Lake. Her sister and brother-in-law were killed a few weeks ago in a car accident. They had a number of children, and now Karla has become legal guardian to them. As soon as a friend posted this article on Facebook, I immediately decided to do something to try and help her out. Please read the article, and then read on to see what you can do to help….

It wasn\’t all fun and Games - latimes.com

My plan of action is this.  You can book a mini session (5-10 minutes) from now until the end of April. It will be a $10.00 charge, and all funds will go towards helping Karla and the kids out. You will then recieve a digital file of your favorite image from the session. If you want more than one image, it’s another $10.00.  This image will be web-sized only and not useable for printing. If you choose to, you can order prints through the studio. If you do this, all monies from this will be donated as well.

DON’T HAVE TIME TO COME FOR A SESSION??  If you’ve been here in the last little while for a session, and would like to donate $10.00, you can chose an image from your past session. Just give the file name and the donation, and I’ll get you the file.

Thanks in advance for all your help! I’ve already got a few people booked in since I posted this on facebook a few hours ago, so I’m hopeful that this will be a good thing! E-mail me at pmphoto@sasktel.net to book an appointment. I would like to try to stick to a 9:00 - 5:00 schedule if possible.

Yesterday afternoon I got to hang out with drummer extraordinare, Ben Ward, of Regina.  We had a blast goofing off, talking music, and shooting some cool pics for his porfolio.  Here’s a sneak peak…..

These two girls are so much fun. I did their grad pictures a few years ago, and now they’re away from home, moving on with life. They are still great friends, and decided to come in for a shoot together, just for fun. What a great idea!  We had a fun afternoon, and even ventured outside, though only for a couple short minutes.  :)  Spring, where are you??

This session was photographed awhile back.  Because of the craziness of trying to get all my Christmas orders/albums/collages etc. out to the lab, I kind of got distracted and hadn’t posted it yet.  So here it is! I photographed this cutie last year around the same time, for his newborn session. You’ll find it HERE   Now here he is all grown up!

Congratulations to Terri Villeneuve on winning my display contest! She’ll recieve an 11 x 14 print as a prize. Now will that console her after the Rider loss? I hope it helps.
