The Miracle 2011 / Austin Children's Photographer

I am excited to be on the photographer team again this year for The Miracle Book, benefiting Dell Children's Medical Center. 

 
The Miracle is a coffee table style photo book/calendar that is filled with professionally photographed images of children, grandchildren, families, pets, business donors, and patients and staff at Dell Children's Medical Center.  To secure a page in The Miracle 2011, please visit www.childrensaustin.org/cmcf/themiracle.  Each page is $500, which includes a complimentary session with a participating photographer, who will submit your favorite image to be printed on your page.  It also includes a copy of the book itself.  Additional copies are $80 each.


I am thrilled with how well this year's book turned out!  It was such fun to see it for the first time -- I love looking at all the beautiful shots of so many cute kids, many of whom I have known for years.  This year I am planning to offer a special portrait package to donors who choose me for their Miracle image(s).....we usually finish around holiday portrait time, so this package will include display prints and holiday cards.  It's my way to say thank you for choosing me and for donating to this worthy cause.


We are so fortunate to have this fantastic children's hospital right here in Austin.  It has become my "official" way to give back through my art and my business.




Until my next post, I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous weather!

MIA or AWOL? / Austin Children's Photographer

Kim has...


a. been hiding under a rock


b. moved to Bora Bora.


c. been trapped under something heavy.


d. lost her mind


e. none of the above


Who besides me is completely amazed that we are already ONE THIRD into 2010?! I cannot believe that my last post was in December. Life has been happening while making other plans. However, despite the lack of timely updates, I am keeping my promise: I said my next post (this one) would include the images that were selected for the 2010 Miracle Book. It was unveiled in January at the DCMC gala, so I am certain that all donors have received their copies by now. ; )


Don't you agree that all of these kiddos fall into the category of "eye candy"? (And the grown-ups look quite smashing themselves!)

  BTW, if you chose option "d" above.....you would be partly correct. After an exceedingly busy fall season I went into hibernation for awhile to keep my sanity. Break time often results in fresh creativity, so keep checking back for new visual treats and special offers. I'm making a new promise right now (as much to myself as to my readers): more frequent updates!
