It’s always so nice to be able to do something with my photography that really helps give back to the community and makes a difference – especially when it’s as fun as these two shoots were.

I had the pleasure of meeting up with three fabulous ladies from the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC) for their Recessionista shoot for the YWCA Secret Seconds Stores, and these ladies seriously rocked their images – and their clothes! I mean, look at them! They are some stylin’ women! I can’t wait to reveal more ads from their shoot as well. :)

I also got to meet up with some folks from Adventure Cycling and have fun getting some action images with them, all the while looking quite stylish too. Don’t you want to BE them a little bit? I know I was experiencing both bike and outfit envy. :)

And, I’d be remiss if I didn’t remind you all of why the YWCA is so important to our community – remember that all sales at the Missoula YWCA‘s Secret Seconds thrift stores help women and children in crisis, including the YWCA’s domestic violence shelter. Talk about a great bargain – getting some new-to-you duds AND helping out a great cause. Thrift away my friends!

]]> This past spring I had the wonderful opportunity to help produce a documentary about the Paxson Art Project taking place in Paxson Elementary School in Missoula, a program that was developed by the Zootown Arts Community Center (ZACC). Visiting artists came into the school and taught kids from kindergarten through fifth grade new art concepts. Currently these kids only receive 6 hours of art per year. Yes, you heard that right – per YEAR.

I stopped by these visiting artists’ classes and put together an informative video about the project which will be shown to folks around the area to hopefully help educate them about the need for art for kids.

Please take a moment to view this video, and if you find this as important as I do, please feel free to share with others. Thank you!

The video is about 10 minutes long (but so worth the watch), so you may want to get the video started by pressing the play button. Once it begins loading, I’d suggest pressing pause until the video is fully loaded, then begin watching. Don’t forget to have your volume turned on! Also, if you’d like to watch the video in HD (high definition, please click the link below the video to be taken to the Vimeo site to watch in HD.)
