Sometimes it’s the effort that you take to help others around you out that counts the most. Although we all have to make a living, it is nice sometimes to step back and give back. This past November, I hosted the ‘Tis the Season’ contest for single parents in the area. From this contest I picked two deserving families to give a free mini photo session. This post is dedicated to one of the two families that entered and won a free session.
Introducing The Hutchins!!!!! I had soooooo much fun shooting this family. I truly did. I have to give a special shout out to Oak Mountain Senior A’Keria. This young lady was a true model on this day. She needed no coaching form me. She was an expert in posing not only herself but especially her brother as well. Mr. Kristian was a character himself. He and his cousins kept me laughing throughout the entire mini session. Initially mom, Arnetria, wanted the focus to be on Kristian and A’Keria but by the end of the session I was able to get her into a few of the shots as well and I must say that I am very happy that she did. From this mini session I was able to get several different great pictures. I hope that you all enjoy viewing these just as much as I enjoyed taking them.
If you missed out on the contest…No Worries, be on the lookout for another contest sometime this year.

beautiful family – great photos
Great idea and good series of images. My favorite is the one of Kristian looking to his left – not at the camera. What did you give the family – a print of digital files?
Do you know about “Help Portrait”? http://help-portrait.com/about/our-mission/ You might want to consider a Help Portrait event in you city next year -and involve several photographers in giving back to the community.
You images are fantastic.
Thank You Ladies!!!
Beautiful family! Apparently very comfortable with you & with getting their pictures taken! I take pictures of families in my world that have gotten cancer, or some other illness as just a gift during a difficult time!
I love the pic’s……all I need to say is beautiful
