First Annual Special Needs Miss Sweetheart Pageant






Through a series of events that God clearly had his hand in, I had the honor of photographing these sweethearts at the First Annual Special Needs Miss Sweetheart Pageant, in Keller, Texas.  You can see the entire gallery here.




The pageant was a benefit for Special Olympics;  specifically, to help Colby Bannister raise money to help pay his way to compete in Greece.  He is the only male gymnastics athlete selected from the state of Texas.

Please consider making a contribution to help Colby.  Also, if you would like more information about how to participate or help with next year's pageant, please contact Rhonda Bannister:  rbanni7478@sbcglobal.net

Some Lessons Are Tougher Than Others

I came across this photography blog today.  This lady hits the nail on the head. 

"Nothing hits a photographer’s confidence more than someone saying, “I don’t value your work enough to even pay you” . . . . even more detrimental when we say that to ourselves."  ~Skye Edmonds
