The Olivia Act, named after one of the children killed in Newtown, was started by a Photographer whom Olivia’s family had family pictures taken by a short time before she was killed on that horrible day. I have seen what having those last photos can mean to a family member and it truly means the world to them. Upon hearing about this, the photographer was moved to give away a 30 minute family photo shoot and has challenged other photographers to do the same. I know that not all families have the resources to have photos taken every year, but I'd love 2013 to be the year for one of them.
I will be taking nominations for a family who you think would appreciate this gift of memories. The session will take place sometime after the new year (probably at the end of January). Email me your nominations to brittny@itsbrittny.com. In the email, please include who you're nominating and the story or reason you'd love them to get this gift. The family chosen will be contacted via email or phone, so I will need both!
You have until December 31st to nominate a family. Please share the link to this blog with all of your family and friends. The only thing I ask is that the family you nominate be within two hours of Mobile, AL.
I'm so stoked to be able to gift a family with these memories that can't be replaced or taken away! And fellow photographers, please think about participating in the Olivia act, too.
