HUGE give-away | Help Jen Fight Ovarian Cancer

Meet Jen. And Cooper. And Cohen.

When I first started my journey into the world of photography, I was introduced to this mama’s amazing talent.  Her giving heart.  Her clear wantingness to elevate this industry.  I was in awe – she’s as amazing as she seems and more.

And now, she needs our help.  Your help.  Your friends’ help.  Your mom, Your sister, Your old college roommate.  she needs them all to help.

Nine months ago Jen was diagnosed with aggressive ovarian cancer.  She had a radical hysterectomy. She endured rounds of chemo…but due to complications from that chemo her numbers are climbing again.

What exactly does that mean?  It means that doctors have said she’s got 12 to 18 months.  That time, hugs, moments, memories, kisses, smiles…everything with her two sweet boys is now on some crazy time table.  BUT, there is this amazing clinical trial with the Mayo Clinic and Jen’s in…well, if she can raise the some $63,000 it will take to pay for the trial and the flights back and forth from Oregon.

That money amount sounds HUGE, I know, but really would you put a price tag on extra hugs with your kids? A chance to see them grow into the amazing men you know they’ll be?

So, now that you know about my friend Jen,  about why she needs each of you, I know you want to know how to help.  It’s a couple quick clicks to donate on her blog (where you can also read about her journey).  You can give $5, the cost of a Starbucks coffee.  Or $20, the cost of a lunch out.  Or…if you have $50 you can get your name in the pot to win something AMAZING from Jenny McMasters Photography.

Here’s what you can win, friends.

Baby Claire is on her way! | Orange County Beach Maternity Photography

This momma is glowing with that mom-to-be glow!  She and daddy seem so happy to be inviting Claire into the world this June!  It is an exciting time I get to share with them now and again when Claire arrives!

Celebrating First Holy Communion | Tustin Communion Photographer

M will be celebrating her first communion later this month so they came in for some formal portraits.  I can tell she recognizes this as a special time in her life.  She was very respectful of the process and I could see her taking great consideration when handling her rosary and prayer book.  There is something extra special about her prayer book... it was her mother's when she took her first communion.  I love the sentiment!  I am so lucky to be a part of special milestones in peoples lives!

Precious H | Irvine Newborn Photographer

H came to me when he was nearly 6 weeks old.  Both mom and I were worried we might have some trouble getting pictures of him being that he was so much older than I recommend for a newborn session.  He was definitely much more alert than I am use to, but we got some fantastic images with some wonderful eye contact!  I am so please with this sweet boy's pictures!  Thank you Momma and Grandma for bringing H to me.

My Very Talented Cousin | Atlanta Harpist Photographer

My Niece is one of the most talented and gifted harpists I know... well, I really don't know any other harpist, but if I did, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be so talented by the age of 15.  H has actually been working events for a couple years now, I think she started her business when she was 13!  Please check out her website here: www.harpistfortheking.com.  And if you are in the Atlanta area and planning a wedding or other elegant event, please consider hiring her.

Janie | Mater Dei High School Senior Portraits

This portrait session was extra special to me... Janie has been a part of my life since she was 6 months old!  I babysat her a couple times a week for years and she was in my wedding when she was just 6 years old (along with both of her sisters)!  If that doesn't make me feel really old then I don't know what will?!?!  I truly am having a difficult time accepting that she is graduating high school this year!  She has grown from a beautiful girl to a gorgeous lady!  How does time fly so fast?!?!

Love you Nanie!  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

4 Day Old H | Irvine Newborn and Family Photographer

H was the youngest newborn I have ever shot... just 4 days old when he came to see me!  He smelled of newness that made my ovaries ache!  And these two adoring big sisters were so precious with him!  Thank you B family for bringing sweet H to me for his debut portraits!  What a sweet boy he is!
