my last card order was picked up today (now get those to the post office, leah!), and we are officially beginning christmas break (cheers!).
i think i designed fifteen cards in two weeks, but i could design cards all day. i will upload them all to the card gallery after the holidays.
again, i am so thankful for all my camera gear and software that allows me to do this, and i am excited to take this photography thing to new levels this next year.
here are a few unposted favorites from the holiday madness…
(oh, how i love this next one…)
…and can’t leave out the winners of the many holiday photo attempts of my own…
to all the families i’ve photographed this season, thank you for the opportunity. i have made wonderful friends.
and finally, in being blessed in our lives and hearing so much sadness around us, i’d like to give back.
in this economy, i know you may know someone…a single mom working more than one job struggling to make ends meet, a family who’s experienced a tragedy, a parent who volunteers selflessly despite their own hardships. you may know someone who can’t afford photography but who would cherish the gift this season. you know someone who deserves a reminder of what is most important…their kids & their family.
please e-mail me and nominate someone in the naples area. i will choose the winner (with a little objective help from family) and gift them with a free photo session and a print package. please nominate before december 22.
e-mail me your story at: kascryder@yahoo.com
oh, that feels so good.
…enjoying the giving things. ~k
You are such a sweetie . . . it’s always a good feeling to give back isn’t it? So good for the kids to see too – this must be how you learned and you are now teaching them. This is really what Christmas is all about!!! Love and miss you
Oh I LOVE your idea! What a special gift!!! :o)
that is a true and pure testament to a beautiful heart.
you really are amazing, aren’t you?
and i could give you a million names here in mn.
next year …
i’ll fly you here and have you help one of my families. 🙂
thank you for sharing your talents. you are inspiring.
kelle…you’re amazing…at being a mom, wife, sister, daughter, photographer, creator, writer, friend…just an amazing person! thank you for being, above all else…genuine!!
ohhhh, I want to hear the story of the winning family!
The thing is, Kelle, you’re going to just love giving that gift – isn’t that cool? Making a donation should always be like that – out of a full heart and a need to give – not grudging or compulsory. I can just imagine when you get a chance to do this shoot – you’re going to have a blast.
