Forever Young Photography Pledges to Support Earth Hour 2010
I hope you are already in the know about Earth Hour. If not, please check it out and participate on Saturday at 8:30pm your local time. All you have to do is turn the lights/power out to join in. Forever Young Photography has signed up to Pledge our Support for Earth Hour 2010.
Here is an excerpt from the Earth Hour Website explaining Earth Hour:
“Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating. Global landmarks such as the, Sydney Harbour Bridge, The CN Tower in Toronto, The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.
In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.”

{Raves} on LinkedIn
Wanted to share some reviews that have been posted on Linkedin.
“My husband and I hired Maranda to shoot both my bridal portrait and our wedding last year, and we could not have been more pleased with a photographer. We loved working with her and truly felt like we were working with a friend, not just a service provider. But the best part of the experience was when we received our completed album. There were so many beautiful pictures, including ones we specifically requested and innovative shots we couldn’t have imagined. Maranda did an amazing job capturing the emotion of our wedding, and I have no reservations recommending her to other brides.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Creative
~ Courtney Beck hired Maranda Young as a Photographer in 2008
“I was refered to Maranda by a friend who had used her the prior year. She is truly passionate about wedding photography and it showed in her photos. Her prices were very reasonable and the quality was outstanding. The wedding album was also amazing and we receive many, many compliments on it from our friends. Most importantly, I felt she was very reliable, which is important for a wedding photographer.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Good Value, High Integrity
~ Debbie Sprawka hired Maranda Young as a Photographer in 2006
“Maranda is simply an outstanding photographer. She photographed our wedding, and not only were the photos beautiful, but also her expertise and advice throughout our wedding day was so helpful. More recently, she took pictures of our baby which are fantastic. Everyone who sees them has commented on how amazing they are. I have also recommended her to friends who have had great experiences with her as well. Maranda is a pleasure to work with, and does a great job of explaining how things work and what we should do to make our photos come out even better. Her personal style, combined with her technical expertise, make her the best photographer I have ever interacted with. Thanks Maranda for everything! Chris Nienstedt.”
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value
~ Christopher Nienstedt hired Maranda Young as a Photographer in 2005, and hired Maranda Young more than once
Thanks again guys for taking the time to post reviews on LinkedIn!

Happy Holidays – Gift of Trees
Happy Holidays from Forever Young Photography LLC. I hope you are enjoying the season and making some time for yourself to relax and reflect on the year. Instead of sending holiday cards this year, I have decided to spread the cheer a few different greener ways – literally. Forever Young Photography has planted trees through the Arbor Day Foundation in the honor of past and current clients this year. Native Pine, Fir, & Cedar Trees will be planted in the Plumas National Forest. Also, instead of sending paper cards this year, our holiday greetings are via electronic greetings.
I wish you and your family a happy, healthy holiday season!!
