We did it! Thank you to all who made Love in Lex a success! We raised almost $400 for Step by Step! I heard from Susan, one of the directors and co-founders of Step by Step, that the money came at just the right time to help pay for their yearly retreat for the single moms.

I really want to let all of you who made time to come down to the event how much it means to me. Meeting you and your families, hanging out with you a little bit, seeing the little ones run around in their gleeful packs, and getting the honor of glimpsing at the love in each of your lives made my Valentine’s Day incredibly special. I know no other way to thank you than with a cheesy business gift: Each of you get $50 off a future portrait session with Morgan Day Photography (this is also a sly way to hopefully to get to hang out with each of you and your families again soon). Thank you so very much. Don’t forget to download your free portrait- You can find all the pic from Love in Lex on my Flickr.

Big thank yous to Buster’s, Vespa, and Babycakes for making the event so much more fun than just getting your picture taken. And a even bigger thank you to my husband- your belief in the vision for Love in Lex and your daily encouragement made free portraits for charity more than just a “good idea”, but an actual event . Thanks for being my hot best friend and husband.

P.S. On the Bluegrass Romance blog I talk about how the vision for Love in Lex came to be. It was the most meaningful mini-mission to date. Check it out here.
