Compassion for Kids: Easter basket deliveriesMarch 25, 2007
Yesterday Mike and I traveled all over town with the Easter bunny, delivering baskets to children with cancer and their siblings. The baskets were prepared by volunteers of Compassion for Kids, an organization that serves to enhance the lives of children undergoing cancer treatment. The children were thrilled to see the Easter bunny in their own houses!

My new cousins!March 20, 2007
My wonderful cousins, Bill and Paula, adopted five children last fall. The kids were born on a nearby Sioux reservation, and Bill and Paula took them in a couple years ago as foster parents. Last fall they were granted legal adoption of all five kids, which was the happiest news for our whole family. In October, Mike and I drove up to Montana to meet our new cousins. I just realized that I never posted any pictures! Here are some pictures I took on an extremely cold day on our family farm in Montana. The two older kids, Leelani and Tyrell, were in school at the time, but here are Anthony, Kaiyla, and Nichole. Anthony is three, and Kaiyla and Nikki are two-year-old twins.

Scottsville Museum exhibitMarch 15, 2007
My mother is the president of a history museum in Scottsville, Virginia, near Charlottesville. Every year the museum puts out a new exhibit, and the 2007 exhibit tells the history of Scottsville during World War II. They call it “Small Town, Big War.” Before I went full-time with my photography, I was an instructional designer, so I’ve been helping the museum design their exhibits every year since 2001. Last week my mom flew out to Colorado so we could work on the exhibit together, and we spent the week assembling stories, oral histories, artifacts, and photographs from the town’s war veterans. I put together several posters to display on the exhibit. This collage is my favorite. It will be seven feet tall, and will greet museum visitors near the entrance. The image I’ve posted here is an adapted version of the large collage, which we’ll distribute as flyers to all the museum guests. We launch the exhibit next month, and I’ll be traveling to Virginia to photograph the exhibit’s opening reception. Stay tuned for the pictures! For a sneak peek, here are some of the pictures and stories that we’ll be including in the exhibit. All photos have been donated by their owners, and posted here with permission from the Scottsville Museum.

Amy and Alex: La Foret wedding, Colorado SpringsMarch 6, 2007
On Saturday I second shot for Sarah Small, a photographer who traveled from NYC to photograph her friend Alex’s wedding. Amy and Alex are a fun, laid-back couple who had a perfect winter wedding at the La Foret Center here in Colorado Springs. I loved their chapel! At the end of their ceremony, the sun had just set, and they walked out under a gorgeous, twilight sky along a path lined with lanterns. They spent the rest of the night dancing to the live music of the Nacho Men. I had never seen this band perform before, but I loved them. If anyone is looking for a great band in Colorado, I highly recommend them! I didn’t take many pictures on Saturday, because I was mostly helping Sarah, but I have a few to share from this fun wedding.
