L. Severson Portrait Art

Cinderella Project

The Westfield Moms Club is collection gowns for the Cinderella Project.  Used dresses are given to girls who can't afford to buy a dress for the prom.

Here's what they need:

Any size prom dress (current styles)
Accessories, such as purses, shoes, jewelry and wraps.

Bring your gown(s) to L. Severson Portrait Art during our regular pick-up hours, and get a certificate for one free set of wallets from your portrait session.  Limit one free set of wallets per client.

Thanks for helping!

Busted...

Well, if you were paying any attention to the blog lately, you would have read the post where I promised to blog every weekday, and if I didn't, then I would give a $50 studio credit to whoever caught me.  Well I've been busted for not one, but TWO missed days this week.
Congratulations to Julie Hallen and Angela Effing for catching me.  Does this post count for today?

Catch me if you can...

So if you come to the blog regularly, you've probably noticed that I've totally dropped the ball on updating my blog.  It was my goal when I first started the blog to post daily, but I have failed miserably as life has gotten in the way of my good intention. 

But I'm renewing my commitment to the blog, and putting my money where my mouth is.  So here's the deal...Monday through Friday I will put something on my blog each day.  It might be a recipe, a blurb about something or someone interesting, a favorite picture from the day.  Who knows! 

And if I don't update my blog on a weekday, I'll give a $50 L. Severson Portrait Art gift card to the first person who calls me on the carpet.  Just send me an email if I failed to post, and the first one to email will get the gift card. 

America's Cutest Kid

We see a lot of cuties here at the studio...but do you think YOUR child is America's cutest kid?
Now's your chance to find out.  We are participating in the America's Cutest Kid contest to raise money for Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.  This organization helps families dealing with the loss of an infant.

So here are the contest details:
1.  Entrants must be between the ages of 18 months and 14 years.
2.  There is a $25 entrance fee.  For your fee, you'll get a 20 minute portrait session here at the studio, and we will electronically submit one image to the contest.
3.  A local winner is chosen, based on number of votes.  Each vote is $1
4.  The local winner gets entered into the national finals.  That winner will get a $5000 savings bond, and a new digital camera.
5.  Model sessions are available weekday mornings only.

If you think this sounds like fun and you'd like to join in, give me a call and we'll schedule your session.
