Help Raise Money for the Haiti Earthquake Victims

and get a digital negative of one of your favorite photos from Misty Richmond Photography


A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon, collapsing buildings, including at least one hospital. Tens of thousands are feared dead in the largest quake to strike the impoverished Caribbean nation in 200 years. Power is out, telecommunications are spotty and food and water are reportedly growing scarce.

The destruction from the earthquake in Haiti is unimaginable. Last night as I was sitting in my warm comfortable house, I couldn’t stop thinking about how fortunate I am to know that the people I love are safe and healthy. I can’t even fathom what it would be like to not have anyone to turn to with an injured child or mother after my world had crumbled around me. The people of Haiti desperately need our support and assistance.

Please make your contribution to the relief effort by visiting http://www.mercycorps.org/fundraising/mistyrichmond.

This part isn’t sad at all…..

And it’s your lucky day!  There’s more in it for you than just the great feeling you’ll get from helping people!

Donate $25, and I’ll send you a digital file of one of your favorite photos from your 2008 or 2009 photo session.  Regular digital file prices start at $90 for an individual image or $200 for five images, so that’s a fabulous deal! Just think of all the things you’ll be able to do with your photo! You can make 200 copies and send them to everyone you’ve ever met.  Or wallpaper your bathroom with them.  Or make gifts for people you forgot to add to your Christmas list (hey, a slightly new-yearish gift is just as good, right?).

Donate $40, and I’ll send you two digital files.  That’s twice the fun!

Once you’ve made your donation,  I’ll re-post your photo gallery to make choosing your image easy.  If you’ve booked more than one photo session in the last couple of years, please send me an e-mail at misty@mistyrichmond.com and let me know which photo session to post online.

And if you’ve never been to one of my portrait sessions, the offer can be applied to 2010 portrait sessions too.

December 7, 2009 - 1:25 pm patrizia - Hey Guys!!! You should have adviced us not watching the gallery before sleeping, we could have nightmares about the Taylors!!! the pictures are never ending!!!! I'm joking, of course: just a little bit of Italian Humour! Fantastic Family! Patrizia

December 7, 2009 - 5:51 pm alessio - ..ma..veramente io volevo commentare una foto dove giacomo sembrava il soldato ryan sulla spiaggia..beh boh bella li'

December 7, 2009 - 5:57 pm alessio - ..comunque bella gente!.. un saluto a tutti nel mio secondo commento visto che per scrivere cose serie non son tagliato e poi finisco fuori tema ;) un bacione!

December 8, 2009 - 1:46 am Bob Sr - These photos are just great - such fun, so many and plenty of variety. Did my heart good to see them.

December 8, 2009 - 1:49 am Bob Sr - Thought I'd add - the beach and the sunshine were pretty good too, not forgetting the bridge and the water. What a great setting for photos. Having just gone through a November with nearly twice the usual rainfall (184%) and gales most days, it was as good as a tonic!

December 8, 2009 - 3:02 am Sue - I am supposed to be christmas shopping, but these are much more fun! - I want to buy them all. Missing you very much.xx

December 8, 2009 - 3:04 am Sue - Beautiful photographs, you're all gorgeous! Especially my dearest little Nephew. Fab!

December 8, 2009 - 5:52 am Fozz - Beautiful bridge! Only joking. FANTASTIC photos; just beautiful. You are going to have a tough job choosing the ones to keep. Thanks for sending, Dom and Trixie will enjoy watching the slide show and seeing their pal Giacomo having fun :-)

December 9, 2009 - 12:38 am Barbara - I can't believe how much he's grown!! Excellent shots - real sense of fun in them!!!! Good to see the parents too!!! :-)

Emma & Braxton | Bay Area Children’s Photographer | Photo Shoots at Home

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of photo shoots where we split the time between the kids hanging out in their own house where they’re nice and comfortable and then going to a nearby park or beach.  I love the “day in the life” feel to the photos where the kids are in their own houses and it often seems like they’re more confident on their own turf.    And when they get bored of that idea, out the door we go to run around and explore.  The perfect combination!

Emma was so cute showing me her room and how high she could jump on her bed.  And I absolutely love her outfit.  If you’re looking for ideas of how to dress your little girl for a photo shoot, Emma is the perfect example.  The layers and bright colors are great for fun vibrant photos.  And that girl knows how to turn on a smile for the camera!

Little Mr. Braxton is a man in the fast lane.  Appartenly he decided to go from crawling to running without much attention to the whole walking phase.   He’s a great reason to mix photos in the house with some outside.  Inside he was free to hang out without anyone chasing after him to keep him from falling head first on the concrete, and the outside photos of him checking the out the world are great too.

We'll be telling anyone who will listen about you. Thanks for capturing our family-time together on film; the true spirit of Braxton and Emma shows through in every shot. Happy Holidays Lisa!!!

Allison and Kristin’s Beachy Giggling Fit| San Francisco Children’s Photographer

This was my first photo session with Allison and Kristin, so I had a great time photographing them as they spent the morning in the midst of a crazy giggling fit.  They’re such cutie pies!

Charlotte and Stephen Run Faster Than I Do| Children’s Beach Portraits| Natural Children’s Portraiture in the Bay Area

A few years ago, when I would tell Charlotte to run around so that I could get fun natural smiley photos, it worked so well.  She was shorter.  And slower.  But, ah…. these days I have to be careful what I ask for.  She’s too fast for me.  And Stephen’s getting there too.  The new trick- “oh, little miss thing- let’s try running like a turtle instead.”

Collin and Padraig Go Flying| Outdoor Children’s Portraits| San Francisco Children’s Photographer| Beach Portraits

I’ve seen my fare share of kid throwing since I started this business five years ago, but I think Collin and Padraig’s dad wins the prize.   Now I don’t mean to say that tossing a baby into the air and actually catching him is an easy thing to do.  It takes skill and coordination.  But it certainly adds a new element of know-how to get a full grown kid this high in the air!  Padraig looks like he may actually fly over the Golden Gate Bridge.  And I love the expression on little Collin’s face in his flying photo!
