This year I had the privileged of being a part of photographing this years winners of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Angel Award. Every year BCBSLA gives away $20,000 to 8 different organizations that work with bettering the lives of youth. This Thursday is the actual awards nights where all of the sideshows that we photographed/compiled will be shown and I hope to be able to share some of them here. For now I just wanted to share an image from each of the winners, and I will be out for the remainder of this week getting everything finished up for the awards. I hope that everyone has a beautiful weekend. Blessings. Jason
