This event is the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The reason it is close to my heart is because  when I was in college my Mom, Dad, and cat all had Cancer in the same year. It was absolutely devastating. Luckily, my parents survived the Cancer.

We need all the support we can get at this event!  The event is this weekend May 14th & 15th in the Memorial Union Quad. I donated a gift certificate for the silent auction as well as provided a special discount to the participants . For more information go to the website:

Luminaries are written in memory or in honor of somebody’s battle against cancer. Below is a beautiful photo taken of the luminaries by Michael Lee:

A Great Gift Idea… http://saralil.com/mothers-day-this-sunday-a-great-gift-idea/ http://saralil.com/mothers-day-this-sunday-a-great-gift-idea/#comments Mon, 03 May 2010 15:26:00 +0000 Sara Lil Photography http://saralil.com/?p=1924 I posted about this a month ago, but decided to post again because people have been so happy with this suggestion and Mother’s Day is this Sunday! When was the last time your parents had their portrait taken together? Or the whole family?!? It’s the perfect gift…

A great gift idea for a mom that has everything is a portrait session for her and her family. All the Mom’s I know would love this gift! I offer beautiful gift certificates that make a great present:

If you are interested in purchasing one please contact me or come by my studio. My schedule has changed and I am at the studio now on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday’s (unless I’m out shooting)!

These gift certificates were made by my very talented friend Ashley of AEL Designs.

There was a steady flow of people the whole time and it was great to see everyone. Thanks so much for stopping by!! Unfortunately I did NOT appoint anyone to take photos so I don’t have much to show. I took a few photos before the event started:

Stop by and say hi — I’ll be there various times throughout the week. The address is 425 SW Madison Avenue, Suite C in Corvallis, Oregon.

I will be having a grand opening in the next month or so. If you’d like to know more about that sign up for my newsletter (you can sign up for it at the very bottom of this blog). I will be sending out an announcement via the newsletter with various offers and discounts that will apply if you attend the open house!

This is what it looked like before all my hard work (and my husband’s hard work too – thanks Joe!!):

If you are thinking you want family portraits or kids photos for your Christmas card it’s best to schedule that session now before the weather turns, and before the stress of the Holidays take over. Procrastination = Unnecessary Stress :)

Email me at info@saralilphoto.com to book a session. I take a limited amount of sessions and I shoot on Tuesday, Thursdays and sometimes Sundays. I also offer Gift Certificates which are a great Holiday gift idea!
