Blessings Winner

 Thank You to everyone who submitted a nomination for my Blessings contest. I was overwhelmed with the stories, poems, photos that were sent to me, everyone of them is so deserving, but I had to pick just one. With the help of my sweet Irish Momma, here is the winner!

Hi Molly,

 I am writing to nominate my friend Annie  for your blessings contest.  Annie has enountered many hardships in her lifetime of just 36 years.  She has not only lost a precious twin son, but also a dear husband.  These tragic events happened within 6 months of each other.  Even through all of this hardship Annie has perservered and is living life with all of her might and enthusiasm while taking care of a fifteen-month old son on her own.  She is an extremely dedicated and loving mother to Peter and he is so lucky to have her for his mommy.  Annie has an infectious laugh and always manages to have a smile on her face.  Anyone that meets her instantly wants to be her friend.  Annie and I unfortunately have something in common as we both have lost young sons.  She has been an inspiration to me to keep going and to find the blessings in life after such sad and heartbreaking events.

 I think that Annie would be so greatful to have pictures taken of her son, Peter and herself as a symbol of new beginnings and good things to come.

 Thank you for considering Annie for your blessings contest.

 Always,
 Stephanie

London Love- St.Paul/Mpls Wedding Photography

This couple is from London, I will be taking their wedding photographs in the summer. We went downtown St. Paul for engagement photos, and what fun we had. I so enjoyed meeting you both and I look forward to your big day!

Blessings for 2009

 I first would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all my wonderful clients of 2008. Looking back at the year I have been blessed. I am able ot do what I love and share it with all of you who cherish beautiful photography.

 This is why I would like to offer my custom photography to a deserving family, senior, couple or newborn. Someone who can't afford at this time in their life due to many reasons that go beyond our realm, but someone who would cherish it and someone who deserves beautiful family photography that showcases their beauty and love and most of all spirit.

 The winner will receive a complementary custom photography, and my Leprechaun pkg. Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives $100 print credit.

 Get creative with this, a poem, a note, a picture or a letter. I am looking for something to tug at my heart, a truly deserving person! Please e-mail with your nominations to molly@mollydurkinphotography.com

 You have until Jan. 15th to get this to me and I'll post the winner Sunday Jan18th. Now go get those creative juices flowing!

Blessings,

Molly
