Have you “EVER” considered what YOU would do if your own home caught fire and you lost everything you owned? I cannot imagine how it must feel to rummage through your life’s contents trying to salvage family heirlooms, photographs, keepsakes, collectables, and the precious toys your children hold dear to their hears.

One of my closest cousin’s just had this happen to her on July 10, 2012.

 

It was Tuesday morning and she abnormally got her children off to summer camp and day care an hour earlier. She left the house at 8:30 AM and according to the fire department the fire was reported at 8:39 AM. Only 9 minutes after she and her 7 children left the house. It was reported that there was a live wire randomly hanging from her hot water heater and caught the laundry room on fire. The laundry room is  directly connected to the master bedroom which is where it continued to spread. When all said and done the fire reach their kitchen and master bathroom as well. It was reported that the amount of smoke damage was extensive and the salvageable contents of the house would be boxed up and ready to be removed from the home for renovations and repairs. Not only do all major appliances, mattresses for everyone have to be replaced but all of the clothing has to be replaced because Mandi had all of their clean laundry to put away when she returned from dropping the kid’s off. They are currently prearing for their house to be emptied and are looking into the repairs.

Quotes are adding up and the overall cost is climbing by the day.

 

On top of all of this unexpected event, school starts in 5 weeks and uniforms, additional shoes, school supplies, and school fee’s will have to be paid. Like myself, a lot of people do not have any money to spare and it’s you that I am asking to spread the word. PLEASE share this post via email, Facebook, and/or on any social network you use. It doesn’t cost you a dime and only takes a second.

 

Currently, they are staying in 2 hotel room due to the size of their family and that is running them over $100 per day.

The fundraiser “HOPE” amount is $3000 but I think they will need much much more.

 

If you or anyone you know has non-monetary item’s to donate, please email sweetgraphix@live.com to arrange pick-up/drop off.

July is in full swing and hopefully your schedule is jam packed with clients ready to soak up that gorgeous Summer sun!  I for one have had an extremely full design schedule. Since we are just about half way through Summer vacation now, I thought it would be a great time to fit in some new What to Wear guides for everyone.  These are great looks that can easily be taken into early Fall as well. Colorful, fun, and put together!

The colors will make everything pop and let clients personalities shine!

 

These images are provided by Corina Nielson (http://corinanielsen.com)create these guides for my clients as well as for other photographers.  You may use these images on your blog & social media websites without having to give credit to me (although it would be nice)!  If you do use my text, you must provide a link/credit back to me/my blog!  Enjoy!

 

Thanks,

 

 

 

A couple of weeks ago a dear friend of mine, Nakia messaged me letting me know she and her 7 week old brand new baby would be coming into town for a visit and she wanted to catch up and have a session. It was so hard to believe 12 years had slipped by since we last saw one another. Needless to say we giggled, told old stories, and updated each other on the latest gossip. (that we knew to be true, we think)

The very moment I saw Kiana, I wanted another little baby. She is so little, pink, fat jaws, and she makes the same nursing sounds as my Naomi did when she was a baby. It really took me back in time for a few minutes.

After all of the catching up we got right down to business and I began…







Stay tuned for more.

Thanks,

Can you believe it’s already March?  We barely had a Winter here in Chattanooga and the Spring season is already bursting at the seams!  Flowers have already started popping up in most of my favorite little session spots so I’m looking forward to senior and family sessions, some maternity sessions, and even some new babies!  To help some of my clients prepare for their upcoming sessions the March guides are now available!
