“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
~ Psalm 18:2 (ESV)

My sweet friend Lori blogged about little Gentry Rose in
this post. Gentry Rose has been on my mind over the past week. I was thinking about how I could use my God-given talent of photography to help others. Okay, so I am not a famous photographer (yet -

); I do hope that I can raise some money for little Gentry Rose. Please visit the
family’s blog to have a little background why I am trying to help…
My part: I have the above photo printed (16 x 20) by the printing house I use for my portrait business. H&H Color Lab is a professional printer based in Missouri. I will pay for the print, the frame and shipping to the highest bidder…
Your part: The minimum bid for this one-of-a-kind print is $25. The silent auction will run from June 30th through July 7th. Please use my contact form to submit your bid (US & Canada only please). After the silent auction is over, I will direct the winner to Gentry Rose’s pay-pal account (in other words - I will not handle the donation).
Would you consider blogging about this silent auction so others can put in a bid for the print?
Why did I pick the sunflower shot? I really like sunflowers (I hope you do too). If you have ever driven through Arizona in the Summer — it is hot. But for one reason or another, sunflowers can be found by the road-side. In the deepest canyon you can find them raising their heads toward the sun. A marvelous sight - believe me…
Thank you for stopping by today and your consideration helping a little girl fighting autism…

I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
~ Psalm 18:1-3 (ESV)
Over the last week, little Gentry Rose has been on my mind. Please read Lori’s blog post about Gentry Rose. I kept thinking of how I can put my God-given talents of photography to good use…
I am not sure if this idea will work out, but I will give it a try. Later this week I will have a silent auction where you can get one of my latest landscape photographs as a print:
Photo Action by PanosFX
I hope you are able to stop by later this week to get the details
.
Have a blessed Sunday.

…to win one of the prizes of the marvelous giveaway at ‘IHeartFaces‘. I don’t enter many giveaways, but this one I just could not pass up
…
I am trying to build my portrait business, so winning a 6 months membership to “Photo Talk Forum” would be sooooooooooo awesome. The forum is led by one of the top portrait photographers, Lori Nordstrom. Not only does Lori have a successful portrait business for a little over 10 years, she also is a speaker for photography associations around the world.
What an awesome opportunity to learn about the portrait business by being mentored by Lori Nordstrom…
Thanks for stopping by today…
