March: 10 on 10

Posted in 10 on 10

After taking a two month hiatus from my 10 on 10 project, I was kind of itching to get back to it. This month I chose the day of my son’s birthday party. He really wanted a bowling party, and since I’m a sucker for bowling too, we made it happen.

This is how we went from prepping in the morning, to having a crazy good time at The Ballroom, to playing with new birthday presents and winding down our day:

Now head on over to see what Catherine Giroux has captured for her 10 on 10!

Hearts for Sandy Hook

Posted in personal

Like most folks, I was deeply saddened by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary last month. I have children that I love dearly, and my heart aches for those families who lost their dear children in such an abrupt, horrific way.

I’ve teamed up with 5 other talented photographers to put our passion to work and raise some money for the families of the victims. Money to help pay to bury their child. Money so that they don’t have to worry about their mortgage bouncing because they couldn’t face going back to work yet. Money to keep the electricity on. Basically, money to keep their worlds going while they step away from reality and figure out how to move forward.

We’ve put together a heart notecard set which will come in handy the next time you need to send a thank you note, a love note, or a sincere ‘I’m sorry’. The profits from these beautiful notecards will go directly to the families who need them most. You’ll get 6 4×6 cards, one with each of the following images, and blank on the inside for easy personalization for just $12 (including shipping).

Thanks for helping, and please spread the word!

November 10 on 10

Posted in 10 on 10

This month’s 10 on 10 is lame. Normally, I’ll take my photos for the project about 5 or 6 days before they’re due to be posted. That gives me enough time to pick a fairly interesting day to document. This past week was brutal as I was knocked on my ass by a heavy duty flu that had me in bed for several days straight. So, I woke up yesterday morning feeling much better but realizing that photos for the project HAD to be taken. Flaking out wasn’t an option as I’d already done that last month and I care about this project too much to let it slide 2 months in a row. So, knowing that I was still feeling shitty and that we had absolutely no plan to leave the house, I embarked on my lame 10 on 10. This is us, putzing around the house, doing diddly squat. I’m just glad it was a home day for the kids, or I can’t even imagine what I’d be presenting you with today. 10 feet and coffee mug shots? Probably.

pssst…don’t forget to continue on in our little 10 on 10 circle. Next up is Erika. Go check out how her day was.
