You give a little...and you can WIN BIG!!!

WE NEED YOU!!!!

Who would like to be entered into a drawing for a FREE...yes FREE photo session with yours truly?? Not just the session but I will also give you a disc with 5 of your favorite images in high resolution ready for you to print. PLUS 20% off your order. A value of $400+.
All you need to do is donate NOW!!
Interested?? I know you are. Read on for details...

This year I have decided I need to help my local SeattleYMCA to raise some funds!! I'm thrilled to help. Their campaign is called Partners with Youth. The Partners with Youth Campaign has served over 30,000 families in my community, supporting such programs as Youth Health and Fitness, Day Camp, Swim Lessons, Single Parent Outreach and Family Function Events. A $25 donation makes available to a child, a 6 week swim class, the opportunity to participate in a youth sport, a place to be on in-service or inclement weather days instead of staying home alone, just to name a few. Giving just little can be HUGE!!

So, here's what you need to do. I need you to give at least $25. Every increment of $25 your name is entered into the drawing again, gotta boost your chances!! If you give anything over $100 and you are a first time contributor your donation will be matched up to 10k. How cool is that?? Oh and let's just say if you give 10k I will totally give you a free session!!! Or 10...it's the least i can do!
If it seems like $100 is a bit too much all at once you can break it down. Give $8.42 a month for a year. You won't even notice it and you will be helping so many families!! PLUS you are entered into the drawing 4 times.

Are you ready to give? Click here.

If I still haven't convinced you then let me tell you that .95 of every dollar contributed goes directly into programs for kids that need our help. I have seen the help in action first hand. Before I was Kerry Ann Photography I worked at the Northshore YMCA. They really do help. It's not just a way to get money. I have seen the difference in many children's lives because the YMCA was able to offer support to families. The difference between little *Bobby learning to swim or sitting home wishing he could swim. It's not his fault things like learning to swim cost money, money his parents can't afford. Pay rent or send Bobby to swim, maybe even play T-ball and help so he doesn't have be home alone during mid-winter break. They can send him to a YMCA camp!!! You know you want to help Bobby. Bobby needs us. Plus Bobby totally wants you to have really great pictures on your walls because you won the drawing!!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Now go here and give a little love.

(until I figure out if I'm able to see who's donated to the PWY fund I ask that you send me an email and let me know what you gave. Thanks!!)

xoxo
*Bobby is fictional but his story is real.

Happy New Year to Kerry Ann Photography!!

I'm so excited to get going this year! I took some time off, well sorta for the holidays and to catch my breath. I did a few photo sessions during my vacation because well one was a newborn and we all know that doesn't last long and another was for a dear sweet girl and her sister. I couldn't resist. It's hard to go from being super busy to nothing but just "doing" my daily crazy life.

I like many others have really stepped up my fitness routine with the new year. Going to the gym is a such a day sucker and especially when dragging 2 littles along!! I would find that I would sit down at about 2pm to eat lunch and wonder "where did my day go?" I didn't pick up my camera for two whole weeks!!!!! I KNOW! I was tired, SORE, and just ran outta day light. Nuts. I was feeling great on the fitness/body front but I was kinda depressed. I just couldn't shake it and couldn't figure it out...I'm sure you're reading this like, ummm yah that's sad and stuff but do you have a point? Yes, my readers I do. I was sad and depressed because I hadn't played with my camera and been creative for TWO whole weeks. So everyday since my "AH hah" moment as Oprah would say I have been snapping away and editing and playing. Lots of playing. I feel fabulous again!! All thanks to a little creativity. I will not do that again. It was a rough patch for me and my poor family with this pathetic lady wandering around. But I'm happy to say I'm back to my normal self and to use the word normal is probably not the best descriptive word for me but that's a whole other post;-)

So here's the deal...on the bottom of this blog is a link to follow me on Facebook. Once you sign up and become a fan you will be asked in the next few weeks to leave a comment. I'll post a FABULOUS special only for my Facebook fans. On the post you will just leave a comment...and BAM you're entered into the drawing. So in the next few weeks keep your eyes peeled for the exciting news!! Free stuff is always exciting!!

Thanks for looking! xxoo

Sorry my wonderful clients!! I will put a few up on my Flickr account for you to see but I don't have time to make a pretty blog post for each of you. Busy times! I hope you will forgive me.

Book now and get 2009 prices if you schedule your session for the months of January or February. I will release my new 2010 prices in December.

Sekora Family Sneak Peek! {Bothell Family and Lifestyle Portraiture}

I was beyond pleased to see no rain when I woke up this morning and I finally got to meet the Sekora family! Gorgeous bunch. Dressed super cute...and Lisa so not too matchy-matchy at all. Perfect! I love little A's leg warmers with little pom pom tassels and the little man S in his velcro shoes!!
Thanks you guys for a fun morning! It was great to play and run around to warm-up our chilly bodies.
Here's a few sneaks....many, many more to come. They turned out great.
