Deadline for Handbags

If anyone would like a handbag for Christmas, the deadline is November 10th....just two weeks away! Order now!

Gallery Wrap Give Away Details!

Christmas Commandos Gallery Wrap Give Away!

Traditions Photography is sponsoring a Gallery Wrap Give Away in honor of Christmas Commandos. We will raffle off (1) 24x24 inch Gallery Wrap (valued at $1000.00) and donate all proceeds to Christmas Commandos.

Christmas Commandos is a local charitable trust. Created in 1998, its primary goal is to bring emotional support to families who have lost a child or parent. Their secondary purpose is to help financially if there is a need. The organization brings Christmas in an anonymous and magical way to families.

Thousands of gifts are purchased, wrapped and tagged. Each gift is chosen individually for each family member. The gifts bring comfort and laughter, but most of all love and support back into the lives of those who are hurting from a loss.

On Christmas Eve night the gifts are loaded up along with decorations and an angel statue and brought to each and every home, with a letter from the Christmas Commandos.

As you can imagine, the end result is worth more than I can even begin to type.



We will raffle off a 24” Gallery Wrap to the lucky winner. Wrap may be used for a past or future session, but the portrait must have been taken by Traditions Photography. Tickets will be sold between October 27, 2008 and December 19, 2008. The winner will be announced during the week of December 22nd. Tickets are as follows:

1 ticket = $10
3 tickets = $20

There is no limit! And no need to be present!

Join us! Tickets are on sale now!
Care to donate independently? Drop off a check made out to “Christmas Commandos” at our studio. Know a family that would benefit? Contact me and I will have the necessary people get in contact with you. (Since Christmas Commandos is anonymous, I can’t just give out everyone’s name!)

Thank you in advance for supporting such a wonderful cause…and good luck!
Love,
Eileen :)

Christmas Commandos & Gallery Wrap GIVE AWAY!

We'll be sponsoring a new GALLERY WRAP GIVE AWAY to benefit Christmas Commandos. More details to come - about ticket prices, drawing dates, and the amazing organization helping Michiana families during their first Christmas without a loved one.

Be on the look out!

The NEW Diaper Bank of Michiana!

Hello all!

Just a note to tell you what's going on these days! I am proud to announce that I am part of the new Diaper Bank of Michiana. Ok, so I know you are chuckling right now at the thought, but really! It's a great non-profit organization that collections child and adult diapers and provides them to other non-profits in the LOCAL community that provide them to our community members in need. What a GREAT cause. Have you even thought how much it costs to cover your baby's butt in a year? My goodness. Do the math! It's kind of scary! (Makes me want to potty train Penelope RIGHT NOW!)

Anyway, there isn't a current website right now, but we have a link on Make a Difference Michiana website - link is posted here on my blog. Be on the lookout for future postings from me about events coming up. (Like on November 18th, save the date!)

Also - this next Wednesday, the 29th at 4pm, we are looking for diaper models. (Preferably between the ages of 6 months - sitting up - and 2 yrs. Clean diapers only!) ;) You will be required to sign a release so we can use these pics in promo shots for the foundation. Please RSVP and let me know if you would like to participate. Boys and girls needed! (574) 271-7751
