I am so excited! I will be moving into a space in downtown Burlington in April. April 1st will be my first day in the new studio. It will be a work in progress for awhile but will still be taking sessions during that time! I am moving into Belle's Boutique as she is going out of business. Sad to see her go. I will be having a new contest for children once we get in there and will give you all the details soon! I am super excited and hope that you can come see me soon in the new place!

Congratulations to Linda Thiessen for winning the grand prize and congrats to Sue Dixon, the runner up. There were a lot of great entries and we wish we could give the prize to everyone! It was such a pleasure and joy to call and surprise the winners. We can't wait until July 17th when you have your big day Linda!! And Sue, can't wait until we get to do your special day as well. I am sure we will have more contests like this in the future so be sure to join my mailing list to receive updates and special announcements.
Linda Thiessen was nominated by Shamary Hampton and this is her winning letter:
"I nominate my mother-in-law, Linda Thiessen, for the "Queen for a Day Contest." Linda is the strongest woman I have ever known. She is an excellent mother to her three children who she always supports, even in their adult life. She never judges anyone. Linda is a breast cancer survivor. Most recently, she helped care for 6 granddaughters for a couple of years while her daughter dealt with issues in her life and at the same time returned to school in her late 50s. After a couple of difficult divorces early in her life, she raised her three children by herself, completed a Bachelors Degree in Business, and held a full-time job (sometimes more than one). She is now 62 and is completing a second college degree in order to start a new career in the IT industry despite being retired. She's an amazing woman whose attitute to life is inspiring to others. She's the person I look up to the most. I always say that when I grow up I want to be just like her. For these and many other reasons I feel that Linda truly deserves to be "Queen for a Day!"
Sue Dixon was nominated by James Dixon and this is part of his runner up letter:
"I have many reasons for nomination. First and foremost being that she is, without a doubt, a supermom. She is raising my 2-year old nephew even though she suffers from Fibromyalgia. Mom just turned 55 in May and should be taking life easy and kicking back, but she doesn't have the time.
My mom seems to always put others before herself. My sister Stephani was in a bad car accident in 1996 that left her in a bad way. Mom helped nurse her back to health over a long period of time. Now, as Stephani can't take care of her child, my Mom stepped up into that position.
During the flood of '08, Mom helped a lot of people out with a vast array of things. She cooked food for people, gave them a place to stay, let them store their belongings in her garages for nothing."
Thanks again to everyone who sent in nominations. We were overwhelmed by all of the goodness some people do and how people put others needs in front of their own. Congrats to the winners...you are an inspiration to us all.
Amy

The makeover includes; cut, color, style, manicure and make up.
The limo for the day will pick the winner up at their house, if live in Burlington, and take them to the salon, then to Crapo Park for some pictures. Then the limo will take the winner and another person to dinner and finally, home.
The winner will also get a "memory" book from their photo shoot of the day.

We are looking for photos of any relief efforts from all over the U.S. Any thing from the wildfires in California to the hurricanes in Texas to the flooding and tornadoes in Iowa.
Please help in our efforts by submitting photos you have taken of any relief efforts, the storms, people helping each other, etc.
Please submit photos
to amy_tobiasphotography@yahoo.com. Be
sure to include your full name, phone number, where and when the photo was taken,
and a complete description of the photo.
Please use the original size photo when you send in your picture. We will look over all photos and if your photo is chosen to be included
in the calendar we will ask that you fill out a release form. This MUST be signed in order to be used. Photos will not be credited due to the amount of pictures that will be used. We will choose one photo to be on the cover and that one will be credited. All businesses donating $50 or more will be credited on my website as well as the calendar.
Check back often as we will be offering the calendars to

Thank you!

Since January 2008, the Red Cross has responded to thousands of house fires and more than 60 large scale-disasters?hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires?which have steadily depleted the Disaster Relief Fund.
· We are working on ways to cut expenses without cutting services. So far, this cost cutting includes: consolidating warehouse space, using technology that further automates our casework process, and placing a greater emphasis on using local volunteers and utilizing partner resources.
· The Disaster Relief Fund gives people the chance to help anywhere in the nation. Whenever and wherever disaster strikes, the Disaster Relief Fund will ensure that Red Cross help comes quickly.
· To ensure the Red Cross continues its help for disaster victims, we need your help. We are calling on everyone to support the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which allows the Red Cross to provide help whenever and wherever disasters occur.
