Outta Here
In 4ish hours I will head to the airport with my family for 9 days of vacay. Until I return no emails will be returned and my phone won’t work.
Hope your Christmas is Merry – and see you after the New Year, when I will be back and in action. Sort of.
Merry Christmas. Put your feet up and take a nap!
Found This
Trying like crazy to get work done before I leave for vacation. Here is an image I ran across as I am toning, toning, toning. I think Jake shot it…but I just LOVE it. It has such a peaceful, fun…comfortable feel to it. Not to mention Katie is beautiful.
Giving back…
I just loooooveeee some Christmas time and as I shop, shop, shop and shoot, shoot, shoot I am reminded…
It’s that time of year. STEP 1: Open your wallet. STEP 2: Pour out the dough. STEP 3: Take home your bags of gifts (or wait for the UPS man to deliver them) Hahaha.
All of this is super-sweet, so long as we’re remembering how small we are in this big world – how many people are in need – and that we can do our part to help them out.
I have been given a heart for people…and my little heart has been affected by some pretty amazing folks this semester. For that I am super thankful. From Coach Danny and his football team delivering Thanksgiving meals to itty-bitty Annalee (you’ll meet her this week) who shares her sweet smile with the whole world – I have seen almost daily how fortunate I am to have my health, a job I LOVE and amazing friends and family to share it with.
So what’s with the soup cans?!?! A ton of my photographer friends are using their blogs to generate some goodwill…so I am going to do the same. But I’m going to step it up a notch.
FOR EVERY COMMENT MADE FOREVER AND EVER ON THIS BLOG, I WILL DONATE A CANNED GOOD SOMEWHERE SPECIAL!
So far, we’re at 8 cans…so for the next little bit, I will be posting all of my work from this semester that you haven’t seen. You’ll have tons to talk about and no reason not to comment. Share with your friends…I can’t wait to take a picture of waaaayyy more than a few cans before the new year.
Other ways Lizzie Loo gives back:
*Celebrating Adoption
*Families with newborn babies struggling to survive can always pick up the tele and I will rush to the hospital to photograph the new family with their child. Families receive a DVD of all their images
*Folks in the military always get 10% off of services and products
And the final surprise…soon, very soon I will be hosting a contest to give away wedding photography to a super-sweet couple. A full day – an assistant, digital files..the whole she-bang. So get to thinking of who you know that could be the one(s).
And for the record…my roommate just wants it to snow. Hope your day is amazing.
The Bears
After countless hours of shooting and way too long spent laying out and writing, I turned my story in yesterday. I still have some more shooting to do and the written story needs a remodel, but I wanted to share what’s been keeping your orders in slow motion and my schedule full. Hope you are well.
Missing this
After a long night and early morning spent in front of my computer, I am dragging along today. I’m wrapping up the work on my picture story and am trying to be careful to do it just right. I wanted to share this photograph with you – because it reminds me how alive these boys are. Maybe if I look at it long enough I will feel that way. If only it were that simple :-)
Editing, Editing, Editing
Finishing my story on the Bear’s coach, Danny. Check out my kitchen…proof that I am working hard :-)
Julia Dawn
Tell me I don’t have the bestest friends ever. Yesterday on my whirlwind of a Thanksgiving I got to spend some time with one of my besties, Julie. And yes, she really is as silly and amazing as she looks…
I am soooo thankful for my wonderful friends and family! Hope your turkey day was filled with more hugs and kisses than pounds and pounds of food :-)
