Donna Cummings Photography recently donated an in-kind photo session that included make-up and hairstyle for a special project for a client of the East Texas Crisis Center.  Donna did not hesitate to volunteer her time and studio to assist with this project.  It was a very special day for a lovely lady who through her strength and courage has been able to remove herself from a very violent relationship.  THANK YOU DONNA, for providing a luxurious “Queen for a Day” experience…..you made the photo session so much fun and a very happy day.
