Let's Do Something - Helping Hearts {Moorestown baby photographer}

Much like when Katrina happened, watching the news on the horrible situation in Haiti saddens and frustrates me. There are many incredibly brave men and women who are out there volunteering their time and risking their lives to help. I wish I was in a position and of strong enough constitution to do the same.

But I’m not.

Inspired by Michelle of Pinkletoes Photography and Lyndsay of Life in Motion Photography, I am going to try to do something to help. But, I need you, too! Here’s the deal:

You could win a custom photo session with me:)
• This session will be photographed me and will be held the on Saturday, February 6th.
• Session is for up to 3 people and will last between 1-2 hours.
• Winner will also receive 15 fully processed, high resolution images on CD. Print to your heart’s content!
How to win:
• Make a MINIMUM donation of $10 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund.
• Forward a copy of your receipt to lisa@lisatrakis.com.
• All entries must be RECEIVED by midnight (Eastern Standard time) on January 27th.
• Winner will be drawn at random and notified on January 28th.
• That gives you a week to shop for something fabulous;-)
• You can enter as many times as you’d like, but each entry must be the minimum $10 donation.

Other details:
• Session participants must sign a model release.
• Session must be held in within 10 miles of Moorestown, NJ (08057) on Feb. 6th, 2010.
• If the winner does not claim his/her prize by Feb. 1st or cannot claim the prize, then another winner will be drawn.

Meanwhile, here are a few images to get your wheels turning for your session:)

Party of 5 {New Jersey Child Photographer}

I'll be taking some time off from blogging in January. I'm moving tomorrow (yikes), temporarily because my home (aka the Money Pit) is undergoing major renovations in the coming months. I'm excited at terrified all at the same time. Between the big move and a bunch of things on my business to-do list I think the blog will be relatively quiet for a few weeks.

Of course I never post without sharing a few images...so here goes...

This session was a ton of fun, I photographed all five of a certain Mom Mom's grandchildren together, a fun yet exhausting session for sure:)






I heard that a certain Mom Mom cried when she opened these prints on Christmas Day and it just makes well up with gratitude that something that brings so much joy to my life does the same for my clients and their families:)

Wishing all of you a year filled with peace, contentment, love, and gratitude.

I'll be back soon, promise:-)
