Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner! {Grand Rapids Photographer}

Winners are announced for those fabulous prizes that were up for grabs if you donated to my fundraising efforts for CureSearch. You can see the post here and the winners names are next to the prize incase you don't feel like watching the video again if you forget.

I have to be 100% completely honest and I did edit out when I winked at the camera. Who doest that?? I get so nervous when I am in front of the camera or when I know people are watching me. I HATE being the center of attention and would much rather fade in the background so it must have been a nervous wink. For real, I can't believe I did that...

Thanks to those that have donated! I didn't make my personal goal but collectively as a team we well surpassed what we were supposed to raise. Team Lola ended up raising $25,412.80.

Congratulations to the winners! I'll email you (the winner) Monday with who to contact to claim your prize.

Hi {Grand Rapids Children's Photographer}

I'm still here! I've been super busy finishing up the last of my scheduled sessions for the year and continuing to paint, paint and more painting happening in my house.

I had the opportunity to photograph these beautiful girls not too long ago. SOO sweet and full of personality!

A lot has been going on in our household. As you know, Joe and I are completely updating the house we just purchased and it's starting to feel like home! The kitchen is about 95% done, all I need to do is grout the backsplash and glaze the cabinets. I can't wait to share photos! My goal is to have everything done before Christmas, so we are working 'till the wee hours to get this house completed!

Adoption news... crickets still. We've been waiting for almost 8 months now and every day I hold my breath in anticipation thinking today may be the day. We are so ready to meet our child!

Tomorrow will be the day where I announce the winners for my CureSearch donation contest!
