When I embarked on the giveaway for Giving is Awesome, I had no idea what to expect. I received so many deserving nominations and they touched my heart in a way I can’t even begin to describe. I went back and forth and even asked close friends for help as I found it hard to […]
Last year, photographer Kristen Kalp started a wonderful movement called Giving is Awesome encouraging photographer’s all over the country to give back to their communities. In the spirit of the holidays and given the stress the downturn of the economy has had on lives of so many people, Storybox Art would like to donate a […]

those are great!!!! i especially love the black and white of you two. those little feet are adorable!!!
I love this last photo. Although Mom and baby are the major focus, we get to see proud Papa in the background as well. Great photos!
hi alpana- WOW! we loove the pictures that you’ve posted so far. we CANT wait to see the remaining photos!! thanks again for such a great afternoon- it didn’t feel like a photoshoot and yet when we see the results…we are amazed.
best,
samantha, bryce and henryp
Too darn cute!!
Especially love the one of Samantha and Henry. Also the one on the swing laughing is priceless. Wish you were closer!!
I love the smile in the 2nd picture.
He looks so “cool” in the 3rd picture.
The mom is the highlight of the last one. I like it.
In general, no matter the surrounding, the focus is still the subject…..love it.
I also like the surroundings aren’t the traditional ones.
After much thought we choice the picture with Henry P in the Green Hat as our 1st choice. The reason is because the whole Family is in the shot. If the Black & White photo had the 3 of them in it we would have picked it as #1. We feel that Black & White is always more dramatic, it also has a timeless apperance.

So cute! Great pics!
Hey Alps!
I like the first and the fourth pic the best. If I had to pick just one, I guess I would pick the fourth. It seems to me like they have both just seen the dad coming up the road.
I absolutely adore all of these pictures! My favorite is the first one……….Mom and Henry are both totally beautiful!!!!! This was a true pleasure to view!
What fabulous pictures. Samantha- you are such a shinning mom!! Yeay!
I’m so glad you got some professional pictures taken. Henry looks so calm and happy. Tough to pick the “best” as they all offer something special. I think #1 shows the similar traits you both have – but I love the vibrant colors of the rest of the photos.
The last photo is great to have all 3 of you in it, although Bryce is off in the distance.
Would love to see the rest of the shots soon.
Good luck in the contest!

GREAT photos. Nothing beats candids- especially smiley swing shots 🙂
That first B&W shot is awesome. Area there more like that?
Who’s that man hiding in the doorway in pic4?! Run!
The photographer commented that Henry “…. went from awake to sleepy to awake.”
Was Henry in a meeting?
What a beautiful family! And what an awesome giveaway! Just peeking in to say “hello.”
super de duper cute!
Beautiful photos of a beautiful family. I can’t wait to see more. I love the family shot in the alley. So cool. Nice job!
Thanks so much for the participation in the giveaway. It is now closed. The random winner for the frame is Barbara Byers. You would need to send me your address for the prize.
all photos were like taken be professionals, e.g., Time/Life Magazines … so impressive!!!
I wrote about three year old Mariah back in April when I heard about her fundraiser at a local ice cream shop. She was diagnosed with a rare form of Kidney Cancer in December 2008 and has been undergoing treatment since. We talked about getting together for some pictures for a while and finally, our […]
What a beautiful little girl! I hope and pray she gets well soon.
What a beautiful and brave little girl. Gorgous images of her, Alpana.
Alpana, what an adorable little girl Maria is, your pictures of her and her Mom are so sensitive and you can almost feel the bond between them.
What a wonderful gift. The photos are beautiful.
Recently, I heard about a brave little three year old called Mariah Jackson fighting a rare kidney cancer. I wanted to share a fundraising event for her at the Icecreamery in Castro Valley. It is a Stuff-n-Fluff fundraiser where you will get to stuff your own bear and wish upon a rainbow star. The cost […]
