what brings you joy? | central illinois children’s photographer

There are so many things that bring joy to my life… my 2-year-old saying her prayers before bed, my five-year-old singing praise songs at the top of her lungs, my husband holding my hand… I am so thankful for all the ways that God has blessed my life!  I can only begin to show my thanks to Him through giving back to others, and it really brings me joy to use the talents that He has given me to bring joy to others.  This week, I’m excited about an opportunity to do just that!

Join Sweet Pea Photography at the silent auction that is a part of the 19th Annual DSC Golf Classic.  This event to benefit the Developmental Services Center in Champaign will take place at the Lincolnshire Fields Golf Course on Monday, May 11th at 12:30pm.  The Annual event includes 18 holes of golf, lunch, snacks, beverages, cocktail party and silent auction following the outing.  Bid on a Sweet Pea Photography package that includes a family photography session and a 20×24 canvas gallery wrap! Awards will be given for Best Score, Longest Putt, Longest Drive & Closest to Pin. Individual cost $150; Foursome, $600.  Join us for a day of fun and help raise money for children and adults with developmental disabilities.  For more information, call 356-9176, or visit http://www.dsc-illinois.org

One more little way that I like giving back is through sneak peeks like this one… so leave a comment for these lovely, dandelion-tossing sisters while you’re here!  If 25 people comment, I’ll give these girls a 5×7 print of this image!
