Picture Perfect

Lisa Nordmann

On a warm January day, photographer Lisa Nordmann, owner of Nordmann Photography, came to The Haven of Grace to share her talents and to give each woman a special gift.

For more than two hours, Lisa photographed 10 current residents, their children, and 10 aftercare families. “Volunteering my photography is a way to give back to the community. I am very blessed with an amazing family, business and wonderful loyal customers. We give a lot of photo sessions and prints to auctions, but to be actually involved with The Haven of Grace brought charitable giving to a meaningful level,” said Lisa.

What she really hopes is that “the women take away their own beauty. A pregnant women, no matter what the circumstances, is a beautiful being. I also hope through the images they saw the loving connection between themselves and their children.”

Not only did Lisa donate her time, she also gave each woman a family portrait. For some this was their first “real” family picture. Lisa has also generously created a DVD slideshow that will be shown at this year’s Pennies from Heaven, and she will be donating a photo session to the silent auction.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Valerie Craine at 314-621-6507.
