Jackson Elementary Family Fun Night~Elkhorn Area Family Photographer
November 5, 2009A couple of months ago, I agreed to donate my time and 4×6 prints in October for the Jackson PTA Halloween Family Fun Night. I am sure glad I did!!! I got to see sooo many little cuties. Below is just a sampling of all the little cutiepies I had the opportunity to photograph!! This is not my typical type of photography, but it was fun…non-the-less. It was a lot of work, but so well worth it. $120+ went toward Jackson PTA and the great things they do for our children.
