Beloved Japan. Part II- Action.

I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do. ~Edward Everett Hale

This quote really struck a chord with me.

The recent events in Japan have been so tragic and overwhelming. I had trouble carrying on as usual because so many people were no longer able. I reached a point though when I realized that my empathy was resulting in personal immobility and not useful action. As you can imagine, that wasn’t helping anyone. So I brainstormed ways that I could help and this is what I came up with:

For 2011, 100% of the profits from my photo cards will be donated to the Red Cross. Please click on the image below to access the online ordering gallery.  Instead of grabbing your cards at a store this year, consider buying them here to support relief efforts by the Red Cross.

I would like to thank you all in advance for considering helping out our neighbours. For more information on the Red Cross, check out their website here.

Details: Cards are $5 each, 10 for $30 or 25 for $50.  The cards are beautiful photos on high quality cardstock and come with envelopes. You can pick and choose which images you would like in the packs of cards (if you buy the packs make sure you chose the “photo package” option under the Buy drop-down menu to enjoy the discount pricing). I would be happy to add text to the photos if you are wanting them for particular celebrations or if you would like to use them as thank yous or business send-outs. When purchasing it will mention a three week wait but the cards will actually be ready in a week. Click image below to see photo options.

  • 65 Red Roses – a benefit concert for cystic fibrosis

    I first heard of Eva through a friend of mine that directed me toward her blog. Eva documented her battle with cystic fibrosis with such heart and such grace that the world fell in love with her. Eva touched so many people and brought such energy and determination to the fight against CF that support has proliferated since her courageous battle came to an end last March. I attended a benefit concert on Feb.13th that was in honour of Eva. Many of the bands that performed had a personal connection with Eva which made the event extra moving. When I…

  • Jordan River Bliss

    This is the second part of Lilie’s debut photoshoot. You can check out her newborn session here. For this one we headed out to Jordan River on a gorgeous morning at the end of October. Lilie’s parents love spending time on the beach and in the waves and I wanted to capture them in their element. It is always so nice to get out of town and head up our gorgeous coast. Three cheers for beach time!

  • ANTI-POP CONSORTIUM

    I was pretty excited about heading down to Lucky bar to photograph Anti-Pop Consortium. I had heard lots of great stuff about them and their lyrics and sound are brilliant. The show was great but to be honest I was a little distracted by the fact that my camera loved them 😉 The first images are of TBA (Truth Becomes Audio) who opened for them. Props to them for giving 100% commitment to their performance. They were a little over-concerned about burning their name into our brains but they were fairly clever and funny about it which made it forgivable. There…

  • A shining soul creates new life.

    Some women glow when they are pregnant. Calico beams. Although I have it on good authority that it is not just when she is pregnant. Calico is one of those people that have you grinning and laughing and loving life. You can’t help it. Her joy just rubs off. Her energy was such a treat to shoot. Another treat was the sweet sweet light that happened upon us as we climbed the hill. Thanks Calico for such a fun evening. I am so excited about the shoot part deux when your little bambino arrives. xoxo

  • Beauty at the Base Lounge.

    I had contacted Alice at the Base Lounge to see if I could rent their gorgeous space for a photo shoot. We worked out the details and Alice asked if I would photograph her family when I was done with the first shoot. Alice is lovely and radiates health and well-being. I was excited about the opportunity to meet and photograph her family. On the day, the natural light poured in and the family magic began 😉
