Hope Center Slideshow!

Gotta love the kids and their goofy faces!

If you read nothing else in this post go to Hope Center Slideshow

As a lot of you know I volunteer as a Bible study teacher at The Hope Center down in the inner city of Kansas City, Mo. The Hope Center is an organization that reaches out to the youth in the inner city to "build world class Christian leaders". If you would like to learn more about them go to Hope Center Website.

Last night I finished my first year there! I went into this year thinking I was going to teach these kids and help them out, I never would have thought that they would have taught me more than I could have ever taught them! It's overwhelming the amount of difficult situations these kids have faced in their lives, I am so proud of all of them for their strengh and determination! I am so excited to build deeper relationships with the kids in my class. They are true gifts in my life! At the Hope Center we are getting ready for our year end awards ceremony. This is a really big deal for the kids, I am exctied to see my kids receive their awards for all their hard work. Today I put together a slideshow for the ceremony. Go check it out!

Photoshoot I assisted on for Hallmark Magazine

Here are some scans from a photo shoot I assited for on Hallmark Magazine! This was such a fun shoot, I enjoyed seeing everyone in their creative hats! The photographer on this shoot was Jane Kortright, she is such a talented photographer. I am very privileged to work with her often! She is a full time photographer at Hallmark, if you would like to see some of her personal work you can go to Jane Kortright
. If you haven't heard of Hallmark Magazine you should check it out, it is a lot like a Martha Stewart or Real Simple kind of magazine (has some really good recipes!). If anything you should subscribe to it so you can see stuff that I am working on. You can go to Hallmark to get a subscription. Right now they are offering a free trial issue. Enjoy the pics!

Keep me encouraged that some people are reading this and leave a comment:)

Most of you know that I assist for Hallmark Cards, yesterday however I got the chance to assist a commercial photographer outside of Hallmark. It was a really great opportunity and he was great to work with. (it was nice to finally get a day rate versus hourly pay!) Check out his website he has some really awesome stuff!
