Hey Gang,

Before I announce the winner I want to thank you from all of my heart to everyone that had purchased a ticket for this raffle.  As mentioned before all the proceeds were donated to the Canadian Red Cross Haiti Relief fund. My goal was to raise at $500 but Im so proud to say between yours and our governments generosity we surpassed that and raised $2180!! 

I know their can only be one winner of the raffle but the real winners here are struggling people of Haiti.  If you have not done so its not too late to make your donation even $5 can make a difference.

Because of your generosity and willingness to help our brothers and sisters of Haiti I wanted to do something special for all of you who purchased a ticket.  This summer I will be holding a {BASSEM} "Portrait day", this is where you can come and have a picture taken with your family or friend or fiance or boyfriend or girlfriend, mom or dad or both, sister or brother, your pet or even just of yourself.  I will email everyone the details who purchased a ticket.

So Yesterday I want to the Canadian Red Cross here in Cambridge and asked them to choose the winning ticket.  Sharron of the Red Cross was so kind to volenteer.  The winner will recieve a complimentary portrait session:

Value of the portrait session: $500

Portrait session includes: 1-2 hours of coverage, $300 credit towards albums or enlargements, DVD of full resolution images with licence for personal printing. 

AND THE WINNER IS........

 

 

 

Hey Gang,

Happy Monday to all of you! But to our brothers and sisters in Haiti its not happy.  It breaks my heart to see the suffering in Haiti, but what can we do?  That's what I asked myself.  Being a husband and father of two wont allow me to physically go there to help and I probably dont have the experience and skills they require.  What I do best is take photos and capture moments.  I've decided to put together a raffle until February 11th to help raise funds for the Canadian Red Cross.  The Raffle is for a free portrait session by me, you can use it for an e-session, family portrait life-style session, you and your pet, maternity session, baby session or a high-glam studio session.  All the funds ABSOLUTELY ALL THE FUNDS will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross.  On top of all that {BASSEM} will match a donation from all the money raised through the raffle up to $500.   Please tell all your family and friends They need our help!  Here are the details.
