One of the most important posts… | Red Deer Premier Photographer

In April, First Blush Photography traveled to Calgary to do a Mother’s Day shoot with a LOT of deserving MoM’s that wanted to have a professional image taken with their kids – as we all know mom’s, regardless of how many children they have, are rarely out in front of the camera.  It was an AMAZING experience and 16 women got to create some memories that will never be forgotten – the real purpose of photography.  Unfortunately however, some MoM’s didn’t get the chance to participate in this event for reasons beyond their control, so I decided that I would run a Father’s Day/Mother’s Day Make-Up session where the MoM’s that did not get the chance to participate would get the opportunity to.  While we didn’t get the numbers we were hoping for the second round of sessions, I am super pleased to announce that First Blush Photography will be donating $600 to the Twin, Triplet and More Association of Calgary for the combined fundraising efforts of both the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day shoots.  Through the combined efforts of all those who participated we did pretty good as far as a first time fundraising event goes and while it is short of the $2000 I had aimed for, the year is still young and I will be coming to Calgary for a limited number of Summer and Fall sessions (which are always perfect for Christmas Cards and gifts) so if you didn’t get the chance to participate in the previous sessions you still have time to be present for beautiful heirloom photography that will be very important to your children and the future generations of your family as well as support the TTMAC which we would all be lost without.

A MoM’s most important accessories.

Now a little about this image.

This is Ginger.  Ginger is our President and I first got to know her at the Canmore retreat a few years ago when my triplets were six months old.  Over the course of the weekend I got to know Ginger and grew to be amazed at the amount of heart and soul she gives everything that comes her way.  She is a dedicated Mother…sometimes I shake my head and wonder where on earth she gets the energy to engage her children and her family like she does…and STILL SMILE.  The amount of effort Ginger graces on everything she touches is simply amazing and we all see it in her children’s smiles on Facebook and in person, the dedication she puts into the TTMAC and the unique friendships and bonds she shares with so many of us.  To be honest, Ginger could have had quads and rocked it – she makes parenting multiples look as easy as pie and graces her social media with beautiful and exciting stories of her life, including living (day to day), her travels and what I enjoy the most…her camping adventures.   I am so eager to sit and read about the camper, Mr. Ginger (her adoring hubby) and how many times something will go wrong during the trip and how Ginger will find a way to make it positive and enjoyable for everyone who is lucky enough to have her in their life.

Ginger, the Club would never run as well without someone as dedicated and graceful as you are behind the wheel.  While I appreciate the amount of work the Board does as well as the rest of the Volunteers in the organization, the role of the President is to be front and center and to love what they do, encouraging the rest of us to do better, somehow keep up with Elf on a Shelf (yah right) and make things fun.  I hope this image makes you as happy as it does me.   You are one of the most beautiful women I know – inside and out – and hope that this picture will make you happy for a very long time.
