Remembering Matt Turner…
Like so many others I have been personally saddened by the loss of my friend Matt Turner. I have many memories from my college days with Matt. I was fortunate to get to know his wife Julee through Matt as well. I was honored this time last year when Julee asked me if I would document their pregnancy and I was double honored when she asked me to photograph Preslee as a newborn. Matt and Julee waited so long to hold their baby girl and I am so happy for Matt that he was able to become a dad and experience all the love and joy that comes with becoming a parent. Matt loved Preslee more than anything. It is because of this love that as a friend and parent I would like to auction a few session options in honor of Matt and his family. All proceeds will benefit the Preslee Turner college fund.
My items will be listed with many other great items being auctioned off all week at Jennifer Gett’s blog. Check those many great items HERE. For those who do not know Julee, she is part of the blogging community. You can find her blog HERE. Her blogging friends have put together this auction as a show of support. It is auctions like these that will help Julee, Preslee and Matt’s family through this trying time. The massive amount of support that has been shown to Julee and Matt’s family speaks volumes for who Matt was and how he lived his life.
