The Bokeh Blog…

We named this blog the "Bokeh Blog" because it combines a photographic term with a great life lesson. Bokeh refers to the appearance of out-of-focus areas in an image and is often used to reduce distractions and emphasize the primary subject. Sometimes all that we need is a little "Bokeh" in our life to blur background noise and allow us to focus on what is most important - family and friends.

Being a photographer is a dream come true, as it allows me to focus on the the hearts of our existences - our families. I feel so lucky because not only do I get to to create art everyday, but I also get to work with an incredible group of girls, including my best friend Jessica Sikes. Although we have a blast, the best part of our jobs is getting to be a part of your families' traditions. We love being able to watch your little ones grow. As mothers ourselves, we know how significant it can be to capture the essence of your children through imagery.

Grab a cup of coffee, sit for a minute every now and then and enjoy our blog. Along with Jessica and the girls, we will post some thoughts, maybe a story or two, new promotions and of course some of our favorite images. We hope this blog brings a smile to your face and continually reminds you to improve your focus by blurring out all the background noise in your life.

Get a chance to win a Kelly Moore Bag while giving at the same time!

We have a wonderful way for you to give to a fantastic new organization and get a chance to win one of the new fabulous Kelly Moore bags at the same time. Here’s all you have to do: For every $10 donated to the Tiny Sparrow Foundation your name will be entered into a drawing to receive one of these beautiful bags that Kelly has graciously donated. Donate $30, your name will be entered 3 times and so on….get the idea?

For many of you, you are probably asking “What is the Tiny Sparrow Foundation?” They are a non-profit organization dedicated to providing lasting memories through the beautiful art of photography to families with children who are facing life threatening illnesses. With the help of photographers worldwide, they are able to give a beautiful album that will carry the love, joy and everlasting memory of each individual family. We felt touched by this organization and will be getting more involved with it over the next year. However for now…don’t miss out on this great opportunity to help out Tiny Sparrow and to win a Kelly Moore bag. A little bit can go a long way.

The drawing will be held Friday, March 5th and the winner will be announced at noon (CST). The winner will be contacted by Kelly to choose the color of the bag they want.
