Tonight I will be at Amatos Pizza, (located at Meridian/Redmond in South San Jose), collecting coats from 7-9pm.

Please stop by to support our coat drive and say hello...and don't forget to bring a coat.

Happy Holidays!

Awesome Hat Trick!

Leland High School played against Gilroy in the Soccer Christmas Cup last week. Awan, a forward for Leland in the blue jersey, scored 3 goals in the game.

Family Session

As promised, I am trying to catch up with posting. Here is a beautiful family I had the pleasure of meeting.

'Tis the Season of Giving

A talented group of photographers have united and are donating their services to families in need. Kristen Kalp, one of the photographers in my forum, shared the idea and we joined forces to give with our hearts.

Please read the rules and details.

You cannot nominate yourself, and the family nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-home does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

The family being nominated must reside in Northern California. I want to know who they are, what they are experiencing and why they deserve my artwork. I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1000 worth, to be exact. Whether it's a canvas or album, prints for Grandma, or a slideshow to watch over and over...it's in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

There will be a panel of judges to help choose one family that will receive this gift. Oh, and as a thank you for helping that family, the person who nominates the winning family receives a $500 print credit.

Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well. Please leave a comment on this blog entry to let me know you've entered, and e-mail the full story to: charcLc@Yahoo.com.

The family will be contacted on December 31st...so get nominating! I can't wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season – and thank you for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

Getting Caught Up

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner as you sat around the dinner table catching up with family and friends. Christmas is well on it's way as you have probably seen the x-mas trees were already in the store before Thanksgiving was even here.

Back to my blog. I promise to update my post beginning tomorrow. I have been busy with sessions, working on my New Blog and new Wedding Website.

Thank you for checking in and for your patience. Have a great week!
