One of the little girls who lost her life at Sandy Hook
Elementary School that morning of December 14, 2012 was Olivia Engel. Olivia’s
family had taken professional family pictures not long before the tragedy
happened. Little did they know that
those family photos will now have a forever lasting memory for them as the last
photos they will be able to embrace of Olivia, a priceless treasure they will
now cherish.
A photographer whose heart was touched after hearing about
Olivia and the cherished gift her parents now have was moved to give back with
what she could, using her skills to make a difference by giving away a 30
minute family photo shoot to a family that might not otherwise have images
made. Other photographers when hearing
about this were also moved so this photographer created The Olivia Act,
challenging other photographers to do the same, using their talents to bless a
family with a session.
There are many families out there who do not have the
resources or funds to have professional family portraits taken. My heart is to
share the gifts and talents that God has blessed me with to share His love with
others so I too am participating in The Olivia Act. I would love to gift a family with a
treasured gift. If you know of a family in San Antonio or surrounding area who
would appreciate this gift, please nominate them.
Nominations will be accepted through January 15, 2013.

Please feel free to share this message! I am very blessed to
be able to have the opportunity to do this, giving back the way I know how and
sharing and spreading God’s love with others in our community!
