mother earth...

It is again the time of the year to restock my packaging materials, brochures, info packets and biz cards. As I was getting ready to send out my order for pretty boxes bags and bows I stopped for a moment. Here I am thinking about and trying to do my best to reduce my negative impact on this earth, teach my children about the importance of recycling and reducing and it dawned on me how wasteful all this pretty stuff can be. Yes it is fun and beautiful but maybe I can do something better. After doing some research I found my answer, planting trees. That is what I will do instead, for every child and famly I photograph I will be donating $15 to www.americanforests.org. In return they will plant 15 trees! 15 trees for every client will be something that I can do to give back, help make this earth a cleaner and better place for all of our children.
As for informational packets, brochures and packaging I will be buying recycled paper, sending as much as I can through emails, making as much information as I can available on my website and minimalizing my packaging to a pretty ribbon, reusing boxes from my lab/printer and keeping things simple.

Hopefully clients all understand this and agree that we all must try and do something to make a difference.

If you haven't read The Giving Tree it is worth the read. A favorite with my little boy.

love...



Just two from a recent session I started editing tonight. This is why I LOVE my work so very much, I can't imagine doing anything else. Capturing this love and joy, this very moment in their life so that it may bring back memories for many many years is a little like magic to me.
I maybe I can ask "mom" if I can share this entire session on my website!


It's been busy, photographing and creating have taken up any time to get back here and post (thats how I like it though!)
Just stopping in before heading to bed for a quick update.

Madeleine Sessions June 10th has one spot available.
On location sessions: June 22nd, July 6th, 13th, 17th are available.
Please call me or email if you are interested in booking for this summer or fall. (Fall fills up quickly so if you would like a session contact me so I have your name and can keep you updated on dates available)

A Father's Day contest will be announced soon! Don't miss it.

I will be offering a few FUN sessions, just thinking through the details. Something to help get through those HOT days of summer. Hmmm.. ice cream, beach fun, watermelon slices, sprinklers. Let me put it together in the next few days before I head out to Vancouver WA for a workshop.
Can't wait for this workshop with the very very talented photographer Cheryl Jacobs. Always great to get out with other photogs and learn from each other. Her workshops are known to make quite an impact on those who attend.

Good night,
H
