TO ALL MY ANGEL BABIES AND THEIR SUPPORTERS

  • Published December 16th, 2011 by Linda McCarthy, Visual Concepts Photography Davidsonville, Maryland

To all my recent angel babies and their supporters of AAMC NICU, this letter was really meant for you and I would very much like to share it... What a wonderful Christmas present!!!  I am so looking forward to working on the next calendar (our 5th one!!!) in January..stay tuned for details!

 

December 13, 2011

 

Dear Linda,

 As promised, following is an update on how the NICU has used the generous funds you donated to the department through the Angel Calendar sales.

. With a portion of the funds donated, the NICU purchased a new exam chair and new baby scale.  These items will make it easier for the nurses to perform their daily check ups on our babies.

.They purchased ten Medical Syringe Pumps to help staff to deliver precise medications and feedings to our tiny patients.

.Eight nurses were able to attend an educational conference, so they are up to date on the most recent treatments and protocols for NICU babies.

.An Armostrong Medical Crash Cart was purchased.  A crash cart provides the necessary medical supplies and equipment for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment for supplies and equipment for transportation and dispensing of emergency medication/equipment for life support protocols to potentially save a baby's life.

The NICU has seen un upsurge of babies in the past 5 years.  AAMC is Maryland's second largest birthing hospital with more that 5,200 births annually - where over 500 of these babies end up in the NICU each year.  As you can see, thanks to geneorisity, the NICU has greatly improved the care they are able to provide our tiniest patients because of the new equipment they were able to purchase.

Thanks so much, Linda, for your kindness, generosity, and all around great spirit!  You are truly an angel to the NICU.

Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,

Lisa Michelsen

Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Published November 22nd, 2011 by Linda McCarthy, Visual Concepts Photography Davidsonville, Maryland

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 

 

This is a time for family and for creating family memories that will be enjoyed for years to come!  I hope this finds you amongst your loved ones this Thanksgiving and that you are blessed with great company, great food and great photos!  I have put together my Thanksgiving photo tips for you to get you in the mood.  Actually, it is more for me as I rarely photograph my own family.  This year, we are having our children here along with Rory's girlfriend so it will be a house full of young guns and I am so looking forward to it!  I will post images...

THANKSGIVING PHOTO TIPS

 

Here are some tips for you for some memorable Thanksgiving photo pics!

1.  Be sure your camera's batteries are recharged (do night before) and make sure you have plenty of cards.

2.  Photograph guests as they arrive...spontaneous shots!  Esp. if they are bringing a dish.

3.  Photograph your children throughout the day..helping prepare the table, helping with meal prep, playing with Grandpa/Grandma and cousins and aunts and uncles

4.  Get everyone outside for a group shot and then lots and lots of action shots.  BIGGEST MISTAKE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS MAKE?  Images are too far away.  GET IN CLOSE!

5.  Photograph the table before everyone sits down.  Pay attention to details!

6.  Photograph everyone sitting at the table.

7. And, of course, photograph the cleaner uppers!

8. And, finally, photograph the crashers..you know, Grandpa snoozing, Dad watching TV...

9. Get in some photos yourself

10. DELEGATE, DELEGATE, DELEGATE..all day long..nothing to do with photography but give everyone a job so YOU are not doing it all!  It's your Thanksgiving Day as well..

 

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!!!
