Putting my hobby to good use!

I know I've been MIA for a while now, but I wanted to give you an update to what I've been doing.

Recently I signed on to do the Milwaukee Muscle Walk to benefit MDA. The Muscular Dystrophy Assoc has always been near and dear to me and I've been volunteering at their summer camp for 18 years. Now I'm trying to raise money by taking photos!

If you want to know more, please visit my new blog! I'm sure I'll still be posting here as well, but I know this exciting new adventure is going to take up a lot of my time!

And if you know anyone in the Milwaukee WI area who would like to schedule a photo shoot please send them the link!

I also want to thank all of my blog readers who have been so supportive of this hobby. I love getting all of your comments and it really has inspired me to want to do more! Feel free to follow me over at the new blog as well if you want to see previews from all of my shoots!

It's Gap Casting Time again!

Honestly, I don't know why I enter this thing, and yet every year since my girls were born I've felt compelled to send in their pictures. Of couse every mommy thinks their child is the most beautiful child in the world! And what mommy wouldn't want to see their kids picture blown up big as life in the front window of Baby Gap? And truth be told I would have no problem spending that $1000 gap card! But every year Gap finds new ways to make this process less appealing. The size of the image you upload means that every photo in their gallery is terribly distorted. They have some sort of "Viewer Favorite" which, who are we kidding, is just a glorified popularity contest. And then this year they added a stipulation that your child should be in jeans if possible. All good reasons to just say forget about it!

And yet I enter. Because I am a proud mommy. Because I do think I have the most beautiful girls in the world. And because I can't even imagine seeing my daughters face in the window at Baby Gap!
