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. ย 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.

xoxo

Details: Cards are $5 each, 10 for $30 or 25 for $50. ย 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.

  • Mighty Quinn

    I am 100% completely in love with the name Quinn, and here the name couldn’t be attached to a more perfect baby. For the record, Quinn was on my name list for my own child but my husband vetoed it so I’m thrilled that it lives on in another close to me! I love watching young children interact with their new baby siblings. These times are so precious. My heart melted at the photo below where Owen is counting Quinn’s toes. So cute! The table that Quinn is on in the latter pictures was made by her grandfather. It holds…

  • A memorable photo shoot with a stunning couple.

    I was immediately intrigued when I got a fantastic call from a man named Andrew. He wanted me to go stealth and photograph him proposing to his beautiful (unsuspecting) girlfriend. After the proposal I would come out of hiding to do a photo shoot for a couple hours. He is super romantic and he wanted an over-the-top amazing place for it all to happen. Hatley Castle was just that. Lots of secretive plotting ensued. Really, he had me at stealth ๐Ÿ˜‰ Thank you Andrew & Vicky for allowing us to document such an incredibly intimate and awesome day ๐Ÿ˜‰ You…

Eric also did some pretty impressive renditions of the worm and the robot. The love in the room was huge and beautiful. The cherry on…

  • Ani Difranco

    Ani Difranco came to town and played a fantastic show on Wednesday. She is such a brilliant musician, but more than that, she is a brilliant woman. I’ve listened to her music for close to a decade now and she always manages to stay relevant. She’s a strong social and political activist who is not afraid to step out of the crowd to stand up for what she believes in. My only complaint about the show was that because it was at the Royal Theatre everyone was seated and unable to dance. Ani is a high-energy, passionate performer and it…
