Caleb

I met with Caleb and his mom up at the track in Battle Lake for some track photos to include with his senior pics. We'll be meeting back up in a couple months for more pictures, but this day we got some fun track photos to put in the mix. He is quite the runner from what I understand. I can't wait to meet back up for some more photos this summer/fall. Thanks Patricia and Caleb!

Operation Bootstrap Africa

I am going to be participating in the 23rd Annual Operation Bootstrap Africa Walk and will be auctioning off a photography package to raise money for the organization. The walk will take place on Tuesday, June 22nd 2010. Walkers and sponsors are needed. Walkers should meet at the courthouse in Fergus Falls at the steps at 5:15 p.m. Following the walk a light supper will be served at the Pebble Lake picnic grounds. Keep in mind that proceeds directly benefit the children of Ketumbeine, Africa. I'll keep updates on the auction on the blog, but also if you are on Facebook you will see the most up-to-date amounts of what the package is going for. In the wall photos album I will have a photo/graphic of Operation Bootstrap Africa and you can comment on that picture with your bid and see what others have bid before you. For more information on Operation Bootstrap Africa, please follow the link below. My church has always participated in this event and I hope I can generate good interest in this package to make a great donation to a great cause!

Mommy of Two

This beautiful mama is pregnant with her second baby girl on the way. We went outside first since the weather was questionable and she braved the elements for some quick shots outside and grabbed a few family shots with daddy and big sister. We then moved it inside before the rain started up or the wind carried us away! I love what we got that day and can't wait to hear of the arrival of their second baby girl- thanks Shol family! Congratulations!
