If you haven't heard about sweet Layla Grace, be sure to get a tissue.  Her story is sure to change your life.  You will hug your children a little tighter and a little longer and you will look at the daily grind of raising children in a whole new light.  Layla is an adorable little two year old girl living in Cypress and losing her battle with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma.  As you can imagine, her family has acquired quite a stack of medical bills throughout her battle with cancer.

I have been thinking non-stop about ways I could help the Marsh family ever since I first read about precious Layla Grace.  I knew immediately that I wanted to do a fundraiser to help her family, but I couldn't nail down the details.  It just didn't feel right to only hold one day of sessions in celebration of Layla's life.  It seemed too rigid to try to arrange a limited number of sessions at a set location at a set time.  I certainly didn't want to exclude anyone who wanted to help me in giving back to such a wonderful cause.  So, I have decided to hold a Gift Certificate Sale in honor of sweet Layla.  If you would like to have a session any time in 2010 with Chryshelle Spurgeon Photography, then you can help.  If you know someone who lives in the Houston, Richmond, Sugarland, Katy, Cypress, or surrounding Texas areas that you normally buy a gift for, then you can help.  If you live in San Antonio or know someone who does, then you can help.  You can apply your gift certificate to any session or product offered by Chryshelle Spurgeon Photography.  I often offer mini-sessions for around $49, so your entire session would go strait to help Layla's family.  Children's sessions start at $99 and family sessions start at $149 to give you an idea of my normal pricing.  All sessions come with some images from your session on CD.  There is no limit to the number of gift certificates you can purchase. 

Please help me to make an impact in the lives of this family as they have impacted the lives of so many!

With love for Layla,

Chryshelle

One other thing...

I am holding a day of Easter Mini-Sessions on March 27th for only $49 and you get some of your images on CD!  That means if you purchse your Gift Certificate by March 7th, your ENTIRE session fee will go directly to the Marsh Family Benefit.  What could be better than that!?

Email me at info@csprophotography.com to purchase your gift certificate in Layla's name and/or to reserve your spot for Easter Portraits. 

:)  Thanks Jennifer!

to all of you on the fence about buying a gift certifcate, I hope this will give a little more incentive... EVERYONE WHO BUYS A $50 GIFT CERTIFICATE IN LAYLA'S NAME BEFORE MARCH 14th WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAWING FOR A FREE MINI-SESSION WITH 5 PROFESSIONALLY RETOUCHED IMAGES ON CD. Gift certificates can be used any time for any session or product offered by Chryshelle Spurgeon Photography. It is a win, win. :)



Oh, and my new site is LIVE.  Yay!  Check it out www.CSProPhotography.com
