I am SOOOOO EXCITED about this! I have been talking it over with the Hubby and I just couldnt wait! I have been thinking and praying on this for awhile and I believe in BEING A BLESSING to others. In mine and Vic's first years of marriage, financially, it was very difficult. I remember our first Christmas we couldnt even afford a Christmas Tree let alone ornaments for it. We were given a Gift Card to get a tree and I made our ornaments out of ribbon and rocks! lol.
We understand that the past few years have been difficult not only for us but for others as well......Now, 3 years into our wonderful marriage, with the world's most wonderful little baby boy, we find ourselves in a place where only God could place us. With joy oozing out of every ounce of our poors, we are super happy....Are things perfect? Am I at the top of my game and have my amazing studio? Do we have it all together? NOT EVEN CLOSE! lol....But we are one happy family that went through things to come to an understanding of the verse "We're changed from glory to glory." With that being said, we have decided to offer our SECRET SPARROWS!
What is Secret Sparrows? Well, it's a chance for families who are having a difficult time this Holiday Season to have their Holiday Family Portraits taken. I will be receiving nominations for struggling families during the Holidays from the Orange County and Los Angeles County CA regions. We will than provide them with a Free Portrait Session for their immediate family, several prints for their home, a gift card to help with a wardrobe even hair and make up for the ladies of the family!!!
I believe in BEING A BLESSING. We can go through life wondering why everything hard happend to us? Why things happen the way things happen. We can question our God in WHY did He let this happen....but ultimately, me, Vic and baby Cash believe in BEING A BLESSING. I was taught that through our first years of marriage, that Jesus can also use our blessings to others to show the TRUE Love of Christ......a giving and unconditional love for NO REASON.....the only simple fact of JUST BECAUSE HE LOVES US!
So with that, I want all of you wonderful clients, friends and people to nominate the families you believe are having a difficult time this Christmas Season. Below is the information on how to nominate the family you feel is in need this Christmas Season and become their SECRET SPARROW! Thank you everyone and MERRY EARLY CHRISTMAS!!!
