Merry Christmas:) Email Trouble!

Merry Belated Christmas everyone from our family to yours :)

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas with their families. I hope this coming year is filled with hope, joy and fulfilled new year's resolutions:) haha (Does this ever happen???, the fulfilled resolutions part.)

I have to apologize to everyone who has tried to email the last 2 weeks, I was out of the country with my family and when I returned I found I was not getting any emails because my email was malfunctioning. It is now working correctly but if you tried to email me the last 2 weeks until yesterday I did not receive it:( I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.

I will be updating soon. We have some very very exciting news we will be sharing shortly:)

I've Got Your Back Foundation

I wanted to write about what me and my family have been working on the last couple of days since my beautiful brother has passed away. As a result of the many beautiful stories that have been shared about Isaac, we have decided to continue the legacy of his life by founding the “I’ve Got Your Back” Foundation (www.ivegotyourbacks.org ).

Isaac’s life was dedicated to helping others and there are many stories that reflect his giving heart. Whether he was providing young athletes with sporting equipment, setting up a service that accompanied college girls to their dorms after a fellow student was violated, taking the shoes off his feet for a homeless man, volunteering for inner city missions work, tutoring a young student in math or purchasing birthday gifts for underprivileged kids, Isaac continually showed love and support to those around him.

Because Isaac had a passion for helping and working with children, many of the foundation programs will be for kids. Just a few of the programs we plan to implement with this foundation include a football camp for kids, a tutoring program for kids, providing school supplies to needy children, providing athletic equipment for underprivileged kids, giving Christmas and birthday presents to kids in need, providing winter coats, gloves and boots for needy kids and creating a scholarship program for two college-bound seniors at both Marshall High School and Battle Creek Central High School.

Our mission is to educate, impact and inspire hope to area youths in need by continuing some of the efforts that reflect Isaac’s heart. Please check out the website to see if there is a way you can support this great cause.

Thanks to everyone for you support during this really difficult time, it means more than you will ever know. I will write as soon as I can , Jaime Nicole

Isaac

I wanted to let you know as soon as possible that I am unable to book any new sessions through the end of the year. Due to the unexpected death of my beloved brother, I need to spend time grieving with my family. If you have had your session and are waiting for proofs or for your order to arrive, please allow some extra time for delivery. Thank you for your understanding during this very difficult time.
