Shutters has once again joined with Giving is Awesome to bring custom photography and lasting memories to needy and deserving families in our community this Christmas. Read on below to find out more, and learn how to nominate your deserving family/person today!
But hurry, nominations must be in by December 22nd! 
Harrisonville, MO, USA: December 8th, 2008 – Shutters Photography, based in Harrisonville, Missouri, today announced their involvement with the national photography giveaway program ‘Giving is Awesome’. ‘Giving is Awesome’ (GIA) is a program started and supported by photographers across the United States organized for one simple reason; to give back to deserving people in our community. The premise of GIA is simple; someone you know deserves custom photography, but can’t afford it. Someone you know has experienced tragedy, or is struggling to stay afloat, while still acting selflessly to try to help others. That certain someone deserves to have the gift of captured memories that custom photography can provide, but simply can’t afford it. This is where Shutters steps in. To help give back this Holiday Season, Shutters has once again stepped to bat to bring a piece of Giving is Awesome to our neighbors in Harrisonville and the surrounding area. In fact, Shutters has set aside $1000 worth of photography and services to be awarded this Season to not one, but two deserving winners. “Last year we were able to give away $800 worth of custom photography away to two needy families from our area,” stated Vanessa Zaroor, owner of Shutters Photography. “The response we received on our first year of participation was phenomenal, and we are looking to not only match that donation this year, but give even more. This year, more than ever, many of our neighbors and friends have experienced hard times and are struggling despite their hard work and dedication to giving back to others. My mission with this Giveaway is to help provide a piece of joy and lasting memories for those families.”Both winners of the Giveaway will be receiving a free photo session with Shutters Photography, as well as a complete photo package worth over $500. One small catch, Shutters Photography needs you – our community members – to bring these deserving people to our attention, and nominations must be received by December 22nd to be considered!!!
Nominations should be sent directly to Shutters Photography via email at info@shuttersphotography.net or mailed to Shutters Photography at 504 North Independence, Harrisonville MO 6470. You must include a detailed description explaining why your nominee deserves this gift, your contact information, and a way to contact your nominee should they be selected. The winner will be notified of their Holiday Surprise on Christmas Eve, so start nominating today!
Alright, I have a TON to tell, as I've been neglecting the blog lately. Thanks to a SUPER busy month littered with shoots, yearbook photo deadlines for seniors, Holiday shoots and Christmas card designing, we've got a lot to share..... and more already lined up!
First, Dylan. This hot shot is smokin' on the basketball court, and you could tell it was his passion when it came time to shoot his senior photos. Although this posting is about a month overdue, this week proves to be perfect time to share some of my favorite images from his shoot, as he took the court for the first time this season with the rest of the Wildcats just late last week with a soaring win. So, without further ado, here is Dylan.
Congrats on a great start to your senior year!
Next up is little Carter man. Not that this needs much explaining, as this little man has every bit of charm he could have packed into his short time here. Getting ready to enjoy his very 1st Christmas, this tike already made his parent's year with his arrival. I have to admit, though I do not agree with his choice in collegiate athletic teams, he makes that Tiger outfit look good!
THEN - comes little Brookers. I have to admit, I'm partial to this little princess as I claim pseudo aunt status on every inch of her little baby deliciousness, but even a stranger couldn't deny this little tike's absolute perfectness. Though I have to admit it doesn't take much to make this much 'pretty' look good, I was still very pleased with the results of this mini shoot.
Finally, I have to admit that this posting only gets better and better. I know - no, let's rephrase that - EVERYONE knows that I'm very partial to these two little ones. Why? Because these next two little tikes are not only my very favorite Shutters models ever, they also happen to be my very own niece and nephew. Since I pride myself on spoiling them rotten at every chance I get, we had a little day trip together to get a few Christmas cards shots and then fill them with candy, d'Bronx pizza and lots of shopping.
While I traditionally try to give every client their own posting, I couldn't help myself in combining these next two featured Seniors into one, large and fun-filled post. While we didn't shoot these sessions together... both Troy and Haley have some similarities in my eyes. You see, not only did they both swim for me in my swim team coaching years, they also both have their own very unique personalities, that compliment each others'.
Haley, with her bright green eyes, and Troy with his baby blues, both are ornery - which anyone that knows me, knows I LOVE. They are both true to themselves. Neither have a shy bone in their being, and both made some of the most ridiculous poses that I've ever shot, which they will probably pretend to hate me for sharing (so I'll half halfheartedly apologize now). :)
Congratulations and good luck to both of you on your Senior year! I can't believe how grown up you are!!!!
