It came to me last night that I should post at least one blog from every day care that we visit and that's what I've decided to do, beginning with Covenant House in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
I'm beginning with Covenant house because of Freddie Lenard. 
Jacqueline, Freddie's mom, had just recently moved to Clarksdale from Seattle when we photographed Freddie (May 2007). She loved the photos and purchased the entire package.
A few days after we were in Clarksdale, Christina was talking to Augusta Strong, Covenant House's director and she mentioned that Jacqueline's home had been destroyed by fire. When Jacqueline told Augusta the details of the loss she ended with the comment, "And the worst is I lost the photos of Freddie."
We told Augusta that it would be our pleasure to replace the entire set of photos and add a framed pastel. We placed the order that day and asked the lab to rush the processing. In less than a week we had the new photos and sent them to Augusta for "special delivery" to Jacqueline and Freddie.
The timing was perfect - a week after she received the replacement photos, Jacqueline and Freddie flew back Seattle for a visit with Freddie's grandmother and you can be sure all the photos went with them.
Children, their parents, the day care centers that we visit and all the personnel who work at the centers are what our business is all about and we love it.
You are such wonderful people. My mother was so happy when she got the pictures in Seattle. Thank you very, very much!
