Mini Sessions for the Nellans Childrens Fund

If you’ve followed my Facebook page within the last few weeks, you probably saw my post asking to pray for one of my clients family.  In September at my Fall Mini Sessions, I met the most wonderful family that had baby #4 on the way.  I photographed their three children at the Mini Session and had the best time!  They made my job easy by being so willing to be photographed.  Reghan, their mom, was super excited about the newborn session we had already scheduled.  We talked about colors and how we were going to incorporate the older children in the session.

Reghan emailed me towards the beginning of October letting me know that baby #4 was going to be coming early due to high blood pressure.  On October 15th, they welcomed baby Boden in to their family.  Five days later, Reghan was unable to recover from an infection and passed on from this world.  I only met Reghan for a brief amount of time, but it doesn’t take long to recognize a beautiful soul who loved her husband and children.  This Monday, I met baby Boden and did the only thing (besides praying) I knew how to do during this most difficult time.  Photograph the miracle that Reghan brought in to this world.

I believe God has blessed each and every one of us with gifts and talents that we are responsible for using to help others and draw His children closer to Him.  Within a day of receiving the news of Reghan’s passing, I received a clear directive.  I was to use the gift of photography that I’ve been given to help this family.  And I’m hoping that my fellow photographers will join me too.

I will be hosting the Mini Sessions for the Nellans Children’s Fund on January 26th and February 9th.  There will be 8 mini sessions available, and all proceeds will go to the Nellans Children’s Fund.

If you’re a photographer, I would be honored for you to join me in raising funds for these beautiful children.  You can host your own mini sessions, donate proceeds from a single session, or participate however you feel led to.  I’d love to know if you’re joining me in this effort and share about what you’re doing on my Facebook page.  I also have a marketing template similar to the one below that you may use.  Email me for more information:  traci@tracishupertphotography.com

If you’d like to fill one of the 8 spots that I have available, email me or click on the “Contact” tab above.  I already have interested for more than half of the spots…I have a feeling they will go quick.  Thank you so much for your support, whether through the Mini Sessions or prayer.  If you’d like to make a donation to the fund, here’s how to do that:
