			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Julia Franzosa Photography and another Santa Barbara Photographer, <a href="http://annpurdyphotography.com">Ann Purdy Photography</a>, will be teaming up for a charitable project in the next few months. In the meantime, we need some super cute furry models. If you have a young puppy, small dog, or even a big unique dog send me a photo and we may use your dog as a barksmodel (spokesmodel) for our event. If you have questions at all do not hesitate to call or email. A small hint about our event, it involves dogs, a studio, and charitable donations. =) We have one barksmodel already, you may recognize him from previous posts&#8230; My sweet Benny!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I heard about the devastation that occurred in Haiti on January 12th, I wanted to do something to help. I am sure many of you felt this same way and now I am presenting a wonderful way for us to all help. I will be holding &#8220;Share the Love&#8221; mini Valentine&#8217;s Day sessions on February 6th in Santa Barbara. Together we can help rebuild the lives of those affected by this great tragedy, in times like these, every little bit helps. By booking a &#8220;Share the Love&#8221; mini session, you will receive precious images of your children and help those in need. Show your children the importance of helping others and sharing love! I have joined &#8220;Photographers for Haiti&#8221; so that I can do my part and would like to ask you for your help too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="haiti" src="http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu80/jfranzosa/photogs4haiti2.png" alt="" width="900" height="424" /></p>
<p>100% of the session fees and 50% of all additional proceeds will be donated to <a href="http://www.thirstrelief.org/">Thirst Relief International</a> &#8220;Before the 7.0 earthquake that destroyed much of Haiti on January 12th, 80% of Haitians lacked access to safe, clean drinking water. Long after the dust settles and emergency responders return to their homes, Thirst Relief will still be there working to bring long-term, sustainable, clean water solutions that will serve as a building block for the future of the Haitian people.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="share" src="http://i635.photobucket.com/albums/uu80/jfranzosa/Sharethelove2-2.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="637" /></p>
<p>Space is limited so contact me right away for your &#8220;Share the Love with Haiti&#8221; mini session on February 6th. I look forward to helping a wonderful cause with you!</p>
