Art, Shoes, Give

I’m excited to participate in the first Art, Shoes, Give event with Tomorrows Adventure Foundation. Their mission is: to coordinate adventure giving projects locally and abroad. And, believe it is equally important to impact our immediate community as it is to improve our global community. All proceeds go directly to the service projects. No donations are used for travel or administration cost.

All of the money raised from this event will go towards helping children and administrators at an orphanage in Cambodia. The hope is that the event and specifically the art will inspire people to give.

The important information for the event:

Where: 103 W East Way, Boise, ID 83702
When: August 24th, 2019
6:00-8:30 PM

The event is free and open to anyone! I hope you can make it!

Night Portraits

This winter I’ve had the opportunity to take photos in some pretty interesting spots with even more interesting lighting. These are probably the most difficult photos to edit that I’ll ever work on and I’m sure a few months down the road I’ll look back at these and hate how they turned out. Right now though, I’m pretty proud of them. Let me know what you think!

Petrified Forest/ Painted Desert, Arizona

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit Arizona for the wedding of one of my favorite cousins. (Always a cousin, never the groom, am I right?) Well we flew into Phoenix and drove from there to Snowflake. If you’ve never been to Snowflake then you’re missing out on one of the best thrift stores that I’ve ever been to, which is saying something. I needed a belt so I walked over to the thrift store and as I’m perusing the belts the clerk says, “clothes are 5 for a dollar today.” I looked at him dumbfounded for a few seconds and then had to repeat his statement as a question before I could believe him. So not only did I get a belt but I also got 4 of my new favorite shirts! The kicker is that I found out they only accept cash or check and I had neither, so my dad ended up paying the one dollar. So I came out like a champion.

But you didn’t come here to learn about my new clothes. Turns out we had about three hours between the luncheon and the reception so my parents and I loaded into the rental car and headed over to the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert. It was about an hour drive to the park which left us about an hour in the park. Not nearly enough time. We would jump out of the car whenever we saw something cool and then jump back in within five minutes each time. So with that disclaimer out of the way lets jump into the pics!
