Fundraising to bring Maria Flor home from ECUADOR!!

A lot of you know (but some of you don't) I spent three months volunteering Orphanages in Ecuador during college.  To say this experience changed my life would be an understatement.  I arrived in Quito an accounting major and left with a plan to change my major to social work.  My life would be VERY different right now if I hadn't donated three months of my time to volunteer.  Oh, HOW I WISH I COULD GO BACK!!  This experience was truly incredible and I hope to one day work in adoptions myself.

My AMAZING friend Kim Perry and her husband Devin are toward the tail end of adopting one of our sweet babies from Ecuador (something Mac and I plan to do one day!).  They have FINALLY been officially assigned to Maria Flor and are in the last leg of this long, difficult, stressful, emotional, and amazing process.  They are having one last push for fundraising before they get a loan to cover the remaining travel costs, etc. to Ecuador to pick up their little girl.

So here's the deal.  Go to their blog http://strobeliteblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/fundraising-raffle-you-know-you-want-to.html and donate at least $5 to the Maria Flor Fund.  Then leave a comment saying you donated, and you will be entered into a raffle to win one of the awesome prizes they have listed on their website!  (read the directions for ways to get more entries) This is for a really good cause and my only sadness is that we can't donate more.  Let's help em out!!

For more information on the backstory of how Kim and Devin came to adopt Maria Flor, see their blog here: http://strobeliteblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/re-introducing.html

Thank you in advance for helping out Kim and Devin!!

**High School Senior Models Needed**

I'm realizing I don't know that many high school seniors! I did a photo shoot for my cousin Clari this week and had such a blast that I'm thinking about delving into "seniors" a little more. So I need your help. I am looking for 2 male and 1 female high school seniors to be models. The cost is $75 for a 1 hour session and 25 high resolution custom edited images with copyright release. If you have any questions head on over to my facebook photography page and leave me a comment, or leave a comment on here, or message me at jaime.c.brady@gmail.com.

Mentoring

About a week ago I did a mentoring session with Andee Tate from Crave My Photography. It was so much fun and I learned more in one single day about exposures, photoshop, and posing than I did in my semester long photography class. We spent the whole day doing question and answer, photoshop, dinner, sundown photo shoot, and more editing and learning for me! I still have a long way to go but I can already tell a huge difference in my photography and the finished product. So, here are a few photos from the mentoring session and my co-worker Candice's family photo session. Enjoy and please let me know what you think and which editing styles you like!!

Baby Jeris

This little Cutie is my cousin's newborn baby boy. He was just a week old at this shoot and he is so tiny! Jeris has two pretty amazing parents and he is lucky to have them. Enjoy!!

Brinlee 1 Year!!

Ashley is my friend and co-worker and she has the most adorable little girl!  Brinlee kept me on my toes--I was literally chasing that little girl all around wheeler farm but I loved every minute of it.  She is so animated and was fascinated by all the animals.  It was so much fun you guys!  Thanks for letting me capture Brinlee at 1 year!
