Every entry I received was profoundly touching, and I am completely moved by the thoughtfulness and love on the part of the nominators.  I received several powerful nominations of truly inspiring people and deserving families, and selecting a family to receive this gift was a very difficult decision.  So difficult in fact, that I have decided to gift portraits to two of the nominated families.  Please know I wish I could do portraits for all of the nominated families, as each and every family deserves portraits documenting their children, their love and their life.  

I will be announcing the winners and their stories publicly on the blog tomorrow.  For today, I will be contacting those who have won to congratulate them, and wish them a very happy holiday.  

Many blessings of love, joy, and peace…
