so special…

Well, we had every intention of doing a family shot using the self timer on my camera…up until we realized our tripod only holds a video camera and not an actual DSLR, bummer.  So, since we were there I was planning on being in front of the camera anyway, which makes me sick to my stomach, I went ahead and let my husband take mine & Livvy’s picture together.  I am not gonna lie, I feel totally ugly, but I feel so happy to have this.  I have maybe 1 or 2 pictures of myself with her since her birth, so this is SPECIAL.

Give Someone Something Special

My friends over at Essential Imagery have set up this fan-freaking-tastic site Giving is Awesome and I wanted to share the love too.

Here is how it works -

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography – $1195 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a photo session along with all the digital files to fully decorate their home and be able to share with friends and family. It’s in your power to give them the artwork they deserve this holiday season.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a FREE session worth $195. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside in the San Diego area. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* You must e-mail me the full story : briannebrosephotography@gmail.com

The winner will be announced on New Years Day — get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Brianne

happy birthday to me…

Yes folks, today is my birthday. Seems rather anti-climactic after celebrating Livvy’s 2nd birthday at Disneyland all weekend long! Funny how having your baby’s birthday 6 days before your own makes you feel a bit less important in the grand scheme of things, haha! So anyhow, just wanted to share with all my readers that this is officially my last year in my 20’s…I am the BIG 29 now! Thanks for celebrating with me! :)

And I would like to apologize for the lack of pictures on my blog at the moment…my computer is at the doctor right now and I am feeling lost without it. I will be back up and running again soon!
