Spring Sip N Shop Huge Success!

The Spring Sip N Shop this past weekend was a huge success! We ended up having a total of 12 local boutiques participating, including The Willows, Olive Annie, Kelly Klose stationary, Boo Boo Bags, The Affordable Designer, Mombomb, Jewel Ya, Stellar Royalty Scraps and Stones, Sara Nevins Designs, Raph Infant and Child, and Lou Lou’s Decor. I think everyone had a great time!

The best part was that we raised almost $600 from our raffle that will go directly toward the printing of the portraits of foster children for the Arizona Heart Gallery! Very cool! Thank you to all the vendors who participated and all the great people who bought the tickets. We were also featured on News Channel 3 on Friday night! Special thanks have to go to Carey Pena who worked on the story of the Heart Gallery for a year. You can view the story by clicking here.

I also would like to thank all 18 great clients who participated in the special studio sessions Saturday! I can’t believe that I photographed 18 sessions in one day but it was a great way to spend the day and I loved getting to see all your amazing kids. It was actually really relaxing for me. We will do another event like this in the fall! Check out some of the images from these sessions above.
