birthday bedroom makeover!

My sister and I re-did my niece's room for her 13th (yikes, I feel old!) Birthday.

We let Em pick the wall color.  Everything else was kept a secret until the big reveal!

Such a HUGE difference between the old and the new!!!

Here are a few before and afters... including one of the happy Birthday Girl herself!

I shot video when she came in the room... a few stills:

25% of my etsy sales will benefit Toys For Tots!

Hello and Happy Holidays!!!

So, I've already blogged here about the book my photos are in, and I'm happy to announce that Play! Toy Camera Photographers for Tots is finally available and can be previewed and/or purchased through blurb.  (All proceeds from the book will benefit Toys For Tots)  Based on the preview, it looks great!  And would make a great holiday gift!!!

I'm so excited to be part of the book and decided I wanted to do something more, so for the month of December, I will be donating 25% of all sales in my etsy shop to the Marine Toys For Tots Foundation!

I'm excited to be able to use both my fine art and portrait photography in a way that will benefit children at this time of year! :)
