Team Tuesday ♥team tuesday st baldricks fundraiser denver colorado

Friday marked the fourth year that Team Tuesday has participated in Denver’s St Baldrick’s event at Fado’s. Each year this team blows me away with their strength and their courage and their commitment. And their love.

Check out Team Tuesday’s St Baldrick’s team page to see the brave heroes who make up this incredible team: men and women, and kids and teens – all dedicated in the fight to end pediatric cancer, raising money and shaving heads. This year alone, Team Tuesday has managed to raise $50,664. (and counting!) towards the fight against pediatric cancer. SO. AMAZING.

Honoring Tuesday

It’s Tuesday. A special Tuesday, as we approach the final countdown to this year’s St Baldrick’s fundraiser in Denver. And I’m feeling inspired to share..

Those of you who have come here before may recognize sweet Tuesday in the photograph above, but for those who don’t – you can take a moment to read about the Whitt family and Tuesday’s battle with neuroblastoma, and then take a moment to scroll back to see St Baldrick’s events from years past.. 2012, 2011, 2010. This year marks my fourth year photographing Team Tuesday at the St Baldrick’s event, and it is something that is near and dear to my heart.

Check out Team Tuesday’s St Baldrick’s team page to see the brave heroes who make up this incredible team: men and women, and kids and teens – all dedicated in the fight to end pediatric cancer, raising money and shaving heads in Tuesday’s honor on Friday. And in Emmy’s honor. And in honor of countless other children whose lives were cut too short. And then if you are so inspired, open up your hearts (and your pocketbooks :) to help make a difference towards ending pediatric cancer. These baldies will love you for it ♥

Texture and Light

03

I’m the first to admit that I don’t shoot nature. Or landscapes. Or abstract landscapes in.. um.. nature. What I tend to be drawn to most are personalities and connections and emotions, so naturally I gravitate towards photographing people. But I also understand the value of personal projects and branching out of one’s comfort zone. So last week during spring break, as we meandered our way through the slot canyons exploring the southwest, I photographed something that didn’t contain people, which is pretty rare for me. And surprisingly, I loved it!  :) I was completely inspired by the colors and texture and  sense of movement, the dancing interplay between shadow and light.  So today’s post is a first for me – a small glimpse into a world outside of portraits and weddings – enjoy :)
