Recently, I became aware of a friend-of-a-friend who is going through a rough time. She had her baby at only 24 weeks – I’ll be 24 weeks on Saturday, and I can’t even imagine how scary and insane that must be. The family is facing ginormous medical bills due to the fact that Baby Maxwell has been in the NICU for nearly a month and is probably going to be there for some time to come. You can read more about their story here.
Several photographers are teaming up to help raise funds for the mounting expenses for this sweet family. For just $75 you can have a 30 minute session at the AWESOME McKinney Cotton Mill and will receive 8-10 edited photos on disc. The minimum shooting fee for this location alone is $100 without even factoring in the normal session fee, so this is an incredible deal! You can do any kind of shoot (well maybe not boudoir…) – babies, kids, families, maternity, seniors, bridals, engagements, a couples “just because” session, etc. ALL of the proceeds will be donated to Maxwell’s family.
The fundraiser is being held on May 8th (the day before Mother’s Day!). I will be shooting from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, but there will be photographers shooting through the afternoon. You can request your spot by e-mailing maxwellfundraiser@gmail.com – I’m not doing the scheduling, so you need to go through that e-mail address!
This would be a fantastic Mother’s Day gift – not only will you make the Mama in your life happy and thrilled to have a professional photo shoot in an terrific locale, you’ll be helping out another Mama going through a really difficult time.
