A Miracle Cutie!

You would never know this little guy spent most his life in operating rooms, hospitals and such. So much life he has and he will capture your heart as he has mine! I just wish I had his energy!

What a Cutie!

I love one year olds! They love being in the spotlight, and being the focus on attention!

They love to learn new things like a simple task of walking.....



They love to giggle when when their belly is being tickled!



And sometimes, they are just curious, and beautiful!

This is my absolute favorite shot of today. This was during warm ups and I just had seconds with each girl. I tried to get them all. But this is Lilly, she was so honest with this picture and it is my FAV FAV FAV!



My Mica, hamming it up!

Frivolous Friday!

Thank you all for being patient with me to work up your photos. I penciled so many in when the weather was nice and leaves just perfect and am now just getting caught up! Please know I will contact you when yours are up with a login.

Tomorrow, my daughter will play in the final round of the Kohl's Cup Soccer Tournament, so I wish her and her team LOTS AND LOTS OF LUCK! If they win, they will play again on Sunday. There is just so much excitement with these girls and the parents too! Cheer on the Central Mounties!

After the game, I will photograph a wedding in Philippi and looking forward to a country setting!

Last night, when Mica had soccer practice, I ran home and grabbed my camera. Sometimes I photograph so many people, I forget that I want fall pictures of my kids tooo! Here is Ean, my toughest subject. What I am not showing you are the ones with pudge nosed faces, him surfing and extremely fighting with me. Oh well.....I may just make him go out agian until we get many, but for now, here is one......



Another thought: I was in Wal Mart the other day and could not beleive my ears with Christmas music playing. If you are wanting holiday pictures and want them guaranteed by Christmas, you must book an appointment by November 29th! I am planning a new and fresh Chrismas look with new backdrops!

Meet Cameron!

Cameron is such a sweetheart! Although he would not climb up the basketball pole and sit on the net for me, I still love him :) ! And I truly love this basketball pic below as well as others. Here are just a few of my favs!

INVISIBLE CHILDREN

http://www.invisiblechildren.com/home.php

In the spring of 2003, three young filmmakers traveled to Africa in search of a story. What started out as a filmmaking adventure transformed into much more when these boys from Southern California discovered a tragedy that disgusted and inspired them, a tragedy where children are both the weapons and the victims.

After returning to the States, they created the documentary "Invisible Children: Rough Cut," a film that exposes the tragic realities of northern Uganda.s night commuters and child soldiers.

The film was originally shown to friends and family, but has now been seen by millions of people. The overwhelming response has been, "How can I help?" To answer this question, the non-profit Invisible Children, Inc. was created, giving compassionate individuals an effective way to respond to the situation.

Who We Are

We are storytellers. We are visionaries, humanitarians, artists, and entrepreneurs. We are individuals part of a generation eager for change and willing to pursue it.

As a non-profit we work to transform apathy into activism. By documenting the lives of those living in regions of conflict and injustice, we hope to educate and inspire individuals in the Western world to use their unique voice for change. Our media creates an opportunity for people to become part of a grassroots movement that intelligently responds to what.s happening in the world.

But our work extends beyond our borders. In war-affected regions we focus on long-term development, working directly with individuals and institutions that are eager to realize their full potential. Through education and innovative economic opportunities, we partner with affected communities and strive to improve the quality of life for individuals living in conflict and post-conflict regions.

How We Make a Difference

Our approach to humanitarian work is founded in the strength and intelligence of the Ugandan community. We learned early on it was not only important but essential to heed the wisdom of people that had not only lived in the war, but were surviving it. People who would know better than anyone what the greatest needs were and the best ways to meet them. What we came to find is that while there have been many efforts to address the issues that stem from living and fighting in such a long-lasting war, the people of Uganda are asking for a future beyond the conflict.

Their pleas have become our development strategy.

All of our programming is a partnership between those of us at Invisible Children and those in the Ugandan community. We focus on long-term goals that enable children to take responsibility for their future and the future of their country. Our programs are carefully researched and developed initiatives that address the need for quality education, mentorships, the redevelopment of schools, resettlement from the camps, and financial stability.
