About Town

2008-02-01T07:52:00.000-08:00

So every once in awhile when I have time, which is really rare lately, I try to get out and go for a walkabout downtown to take pictures! I love our downtown, I love the buildings, and the familiarity it has for me. I am very excited about downtown starting to boom again. Here a few:

Dont say cheese!!!

2008-02-01T05:56:00.000-08:00

Haha, that has been a saying of mine, in aspiration of the perfect shot, we don't want any fake laughs, fake smiles, or fake anything. Ha, so today I had to take my own medicine, and kenny shot some pictures of me, it is totally not fair, that this is after a long day, i look rough. It's hardly flattering, and my hair is flat, haha is you know me you know Im all about the big hair, ha. Well anyways here it is for you.

I love this snotty nosed baby bear! She makes me so happy! I just want to make an emma-bear sandwich.
I just thought I would share

Give a little love!

Website is finally totally complete!
there is not one thing that is not up, and that is a great feeling. I created this website totally from scratch, just to see if i could, and I was surprised. Let me know what you think.

Also, I have been meaning to put this on the site for awhile now, but I finally listed it! Any package that is ordered through Bird in Hand Photography will have a portion of the proceeds donated to WorldVision for the wonderful work they are doing helping with poverty in the world. On my site I do not have why I specifically support worldvision, but i wanted to let everyone know! A long time I did my research on the organizations that raise money for children in poverty, and you would be surprised how much a donation actually goes to children in need. I know from a fact from the ECFA (Evangelical Council Financial Accountability) reports that 84.1 percent of every dollar goes specifically to those in need. Another reason why I support worldvision is that you can choose what you give to whether it is specifically establishing wells for clean water, because the majority of illnesses in the world are caused by drinking unclean water (according to my health psychology professor in college,maybe i did learn something), or skills training, helping with education costs, or giving a much need farm animal to a family that needs it, we can make a huge difference a little bit at a time.
Check them out for yourself!

SO once again we have had a busy week, it's good though. It is up and down always, but that is life. I just have to learn to organize and prioritize all that is going on. I went a little crazy today. I forget sometimes about the big picture getting bogged down in the details. I also forgot for a little while to live through the things that inspire me! What are those things? I wat to remember, I want live every thought and concept in my head. I love so many things, here are a few, to refresh my inspiration :

Music-
