Jones Family Fundraiser

It has been a busy few weeks, taking photos for the Jones' Family Fundraiser. A little over a month ago, a student at my daughters school suddenly passed away due to complications resulting from asthma. While my daughters attend a charter public school, it functions much like a private school. So this loss devastating to everyone, taking into account that this student's mother is also a teacher at the school. As a result, our community (the school community and our larger community) came together to try and support this family as best as we could. I teemed up with Sequoia Pathway Prepatory Cheer Squad, Kristi Cesare (a local philanthoprist) and Owen Walker (another photographer) to provide family photography sessions at a reduced cost with the proceeds going directly to the Jones Family). Every little bit counts. Each and every person who participated just wanted the Jones Family to know that they are loved and not forgotten...and even though our lives continue on, we know that their grief continues as well and we are here for them whenever they need us to be.

A few of my favorites from the sessions we completed (in no particular order): Surpring to me, that some of my favorite shots involved the adults and a little dog...
