Pay It Forward

We have been so blessed this year that we would like to give back! Not everyone is fortunate around the holidays & It’s important for us to not get so wrapped up in everything and forget about others around us & their needs. That's why CB Photography Studio is giving away a FREE photography session to a deserving family as part of our Pay It Forward program (this could be a family that is going through some hardships, unable to financially afford a photo session, or even a family that spends much of their extra time volunteering to help others, etc. Current job, income, and/or social status will not necessarily affect eligibility, so please apply if you feel like this would truly bless a family). 

What I would like you to do is nominate a family that you think is deserving of a free photo session. To nominate a family please fill out the form below to the best of your ability. If you are unsure of any answers, please write "Unknown" but be as specific as possible. Please include your (nominator's) name, names & ages of the family members you are nominating, their situation or extraordinary circumstances and why they are deserving of a free session. The nominated family must be aware that they are being nominated. This is not a popularity or voting contest, but merely a blessing to a family who deserves it. The winner will be chosen by myself and announced on Saturday, October 6th on my Facebook page & blog: http://cbphotographystudio.blogspot.com/

Victoria Turns One

Today, my hair dresser's little girl stopped by the studio. She just turned one. Boy, time sure does fly! I remember when her baby sister turned one and that was 3 years ago! Little Victoria was fully of smiles for me! She loved walking around with my beads and showing off her new growling abilities. hehe She just gets me with those big, blue eyes of hers! Just like mommy, daddy, & big sissy! It was great to see you again, sweet girl!

Timothy Turns One

Today I got to hang out with my little buddy, Timothy! It was such a warm Fall evening, but we made the best of it. I hadn't gotten to see Timothy since he was 6 months old, but he sure got big! Happy birthday little man! It was great seeing you again!
