Over the Rainbow Photography will be participating in the Help-Portrait Project 12 December, 2009. I’ll be donating a portrait session plus a print package valued at £100. This is where you come in: I need you to tell me who deserves this gift! I’m looking for a person or family who will really benefit from this experience, someone who doesn’t have money in their budget for custom portraits but would really appreciate them… This might be a struggling single parent, a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary, parents raising foster children, a family touched by illness or loss… I don’t want to limit the parameters too much. If you know someone who really deserves some special treatment and lasting memories in print this year, nominate them!

Please email your nominations to jenny@overtherainbowphotography.com by 25 November. This will give me time to sort through the entries, select the winner(s), and notify them by 1 December. The portrait session will take place on 12 December at a time and place convenient to the winner. Over the Rainbow Photography is based in Derry but I’m willing to travel a reasonable distance (within about 1 hour driving) or meet the recipient in the middle if they’re further afield. In your email, please include the following information about the person or family you’re nominating:

Name
phone or email
town/city
a brief description of why they deserve this prize

Please share this post with friends, family and co-workers. If I get a lot of interest I may add a second prize!

All the best,
Jenny

My little guy is two years old today. Happy birthday! :)

Two year olds have a bad reputation for being the most difficult age to photograph. Add to that one case of Photographer’s Child Syndrome. (Yeah, Mom, I’ve seen all your stupid tricks and I’m really not interested in that dopey camera of yours. Go away!) Sound challenging? Well sure, but it also sounds like a fun afternoon! I had a great time chasing him around in the sunshine and wet grass, capturing what he’s really like right now. Here are a few* of my favourites:
