‎The Olivia Act named after one of the children killed in Newtown, was started by a photographer who wishes to be anonymous. Olivia’s family had family pictures taken a short time before she was killed. Those pictures are precious and now priceless to them. Upon hearing this, this photographer was moved to give away a 30 minute family photo shoot and has challenged other photographers to do the same. We go about our daily lives and sometimes we don’t take the time or have the resources to have family photos taken.

I will be taking nominations for a family who you think would appreciate this gift of memories. This local session will take place sometime after the new year and will be completely FREE to the family being nominated. Please email me at rebeccagrindstaffphotography@gmail.com your nominations subject titled “Olivia Act” and include a brief message on who you’re nominating and the reason you’d love them to get this. The family chosen will be contacted via email or phone call, so please include their contact information as well! I’ll be taking nominations until December 31st. The gift is a session and a collection of 10 digital portraits, as well as one 11×14 canvas so they may have priceless keepsakes to adorn their home. Please share this. Thank you. ♥

And fellow photographers, please think about participating in The Olivia Act too. ♥
