Bring Your Photographer to School!

Last week Marv was invited to Highland Middle School by his nephew, Tanner, to participate in their career day. The 7th grade students are learning about different professions, and Marv had to answer their questions regarding photography and the photography business. It was a great time, and everyone learned something new!

"I really appreciate you coming and taking your time to speak to my kids about photography and your profession. The students are learning so much from all of the guest speakers who have been kind enough to come spend time with us." - Dawn Bruno, 7th Grade Language Arts Teacher

Relay For Life - Walking 'til sunrise!


This past weekend, Teresa took part in the local Relay For Life. The relay is the American Cancer Society’s signature activity, and it offers everyone in a community an opportunity to participate in the fight against cancer. Teams of people from all walks of life have fun while raising much-needed funds to fight cancer and raise awareness of cancer prevention and treatment.
This year's relay was held at Edwardsville High School (due to the terrible weather). Throughout the evening, each team member took turns walking or running around a track (since it is required that each team have a representative on the track at all times). Relays are an overnight event, and everyone was walking from 10pm until 5am!
This year our local relay raised over $37K! So even though everyone was physically exhausted from walking all night, they could hold their heads high! A great effort for an even greater cause!
