And the winner is…

OPERATION: Pay It Forward 2013

I have to start out by saying that I never expected to receive so many entries for this free photo session.

I was so touched by all of the emails I received and wish that I could have chosen everyone!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the winner of the photo session is

The Matter Family of Mill Creek, WA.

When I read the entry I received nominating this family – it immediately touched my heart.

Being a mom myself, I can’t even fathom going through all that this family has endured over the past few years.

Jeff and Suzy have two amazing boys, Case and Colton.

Colton has battled Leukemia 4 times in 4 years.

Just this month they got the FANTASTIC news that Colton is in remission again! Thank the Lord!!

I can’t think of a more deserving family to receive a photo session that will document their love and bond with one another.

Congratulations Matter Family!

I can’t wait to meet you all and get the opportunity to capture your family.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
