6th Annual Mom and Me Charity Sessions
Mom and Me Sessions Benefit Breast Cancer Research
If you are new to Photography by Mitzi Mandel, you may not know my mom’s story. The short version is that we lost her to breast cancer six years ago. My dad has set up a memorial fund in her name through Michigan State University, their Alma Mater. Money donated in her name is used to help find a cure for breast cancer, a disease that has affected most of us in some way. You can read more about my mom and see more Mom and Me portraits by clicking here.
I am thrilled to report that my mom’s memorial fund reached it’s goal of $30,000 and has become a permanent endowment! THANK YOU to everyone who has been a part of that amazing accomplishment! You will never know how much your love and support has meant to me and my family. Even though we have reached our initial goal, there can never be enough funds for breast cancer research.
This year, I am offering 30-minute Mom and Me sessions at the park on several different dates. Please note that in order to spend time with my own children, I will not be doing Mom and Me sessions on Mother’s Day this year.
Please invite your mom, grandmother, or any other important woman in your life. As moms, we are usually the one holding the camera or avoiding being photographed. We’re waiting to lose ten pounds or get our hair cut. The images we create now will be treasures for our children so don’t put it off.
Mom and Me sessions are $100. The entire session fee will be donated to the Maureen Burrill Memorial Fund for Breast Cancer Research and you will receive a statement for your tax records. As a thank you for your donation, you may choose one of the following:
* two 8×10 portraits
* one 8×10 portrait and a mini album
* $50 off any CD purchase (CDs are priced for mini-sessions)
May 6, 12, 19 and 20
Call (661) 755-2242 or email me to schedule your session.

Around the Town Sessions
Save $50 in September
Introducing our newest type of session - Around the Town. These sessions are on-location natural light shoots but not at the beach or green pretty park. The location is up to you - your house, downtown, an amusement park, the stable where you keep your horse, the fair, the library, the candy shop. We will search the location for fun backdrops like brick walls, faded doors, or graffiti. $150 includes up to 90 minutes of shooting time. For September only, save $50 on your session and pay only $100 for your sitting fee.
For more information and sample images, click here. There are also many recent Around the Town sessions posted to the website.
Wednesday Evening, July 7th and Sunday Morning, July 10th
