As part of Beauty Revived, a photography movement, I am asking for nominations for beautiful mothers in the Des Moines, Iowa area to be featured in a national magazine. The beauty of these women will not be measured by their waist size or flare for fashion. No, these women will be chosen because of their real beauty, their courage and their countenance. This campaign is about mothers who are making an impact in our world and making it a more beautiful place through acts of love and kindness. The chosen Mother will be given a free photo session with Theresa Schumacher Photography, professional hair styling and makeup by The Colour Bar Salon and a feature in the Mother’s Day issue of Beauty Revived magazine. I will be accepting nominations from January 25 through February 19 and will then choose one deserving Mother to donate a photography session to for the Beauty Revived feature. Beauty Revived is a movement that celebrates women with real beauty. Photographers donate sessions to these women and their stories are featured in their magazine and website: www.beautyrevived.com. Beauty Revived was started eighteen months ago as a way for photographers to use their lens for good and shine light on the real beauty that was happening in our communities. In the last year and a half, more than 300 women, girls and children have been featured on their website and magazine. “As a high school senior photographer, I started Beauty Revived because I saw the power that a photographer has in shaping perception and altering dialogue on beauty,” Michelle Gifford, Beauty Revived founder, said. “The photographers who participate in our campaigns not only have great technical and artistic talent but also have big hearts and a desire to be more than just a picture taker. They want to be a photographer who changes the world with their work,” Gifford said.

Thank you for taking part in this wonderful campaign!
