I donate gift certificates to family sessions here and there for some local charities. My favorite benefit, beyond giving back to the community which has so generously supported me, is being able to meet new families that I may not have had the chance to meet otherwise. Such was the case with the Springfield Rotary Club’s Penny Sale this past October. Nicole’s mom won the gift certificate for a full session and promptly gifted it to her daughter and her family. I had a great time meeting and capturing this gorgeous family!
