The Olivia Act

The Olivia Act

Olivia was one of the many children murdered on the morning of December 14 at the hands of a gunman who entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. (Above picture is not of Oliva). The Olivia Act, appropriately named after this young girl, was born in response to this terrible event and is dedicated to those who perished and the families affected.

Olivia's family had photos made shortly before she was taken, revealing the importance of having lasting memories of your loved ones. In honor of those who perished, the founder of the act was moved to give away a 30 minute family photo shoot and now challenges other photographers to do the same.

I will be following suit with this act. All families do not have resources available to have photos taken every year. I will be taking nominations from you for a family that you deem is deserving of this gift of memories up to March 31, 2013.

The quick details:
*One winner will be selected based off of the best submissions.
 
*The session will take place after May 30, 2013.
 
*The session will be up to one hour long.
 
*The winners will receive digital images on a DVD of no less than 10 images.
 
*Your Nomination should be at least 100 words long and should  include who you are nominating and why.
 
*The family needs to live within a one hour drive for me. (Detroit,Michigan)
 
*The family chosen will be contacted via email, so please include that as well.
 
Nominations are limited to one per individual and I’ll be taking them anytime between now and March 31st, 2013.
