Pictures, Pictures and More Pictures!

It's mid-October and I have now raised $375 to date!!  I am taking pictures every Saturday until mid-November and still loving it!!  I feel very blessed to have such wonderful support from friends and family as I continue to work towards the $5000 goal for the water well.  I recently photographed a family of 14 (and a dog) which is my largest photo session yet.  They were so kind, cooperative and patient and the weather could not have been more beautiful!  Thank you again to all my supporters!!  Here are a few new shots of my kids.  Have a great week!!

What a Week!

This week has been a successful week as I am $225 down.  My goal of reaching $500 by Christmas is looking good as I've got three more picture sessions scheduled over the next several weeks and two more in the works.  I've had several people ask me how I chose the water well as my goal, and all I can say is that God brought this idea to me.  There were many things that took place that lead me to the Charity:Water website and in turn the video (posted in my first blog) that really effected me.  There are so many causes out there to choose from and I think what I've realized is that if everyone just chooses one and goes for it we can change the world for the better!  I, like most, prefer immediate gratification and this project does not provide that as I see a long road ahead of me to reach this goal.  However, it is achievable and the fact that one or two years of my life dedicated to this can in turn positively effect 250 people by giving them clean water for 20 years sounds like a pretty good return!  I'll keep you posted :)
