While I have been the one receiving all the congrats, which I must admit feels pretty good,  I would be remiss if I didn’t give credit where credit is due.  It takes a village, right? My village is Scott Reed, Curt Von Diest, Hilary Skirboll, Paul Nordmann, Paula Gren and Kathy McGuire-Mullins.  Thanks to all.  And thanks to Tony, Yvonne and the entire HYC/Advocate crew for ‘getting it’!

Here’s a scrapbook from a recent Draftfcb shoot.  In addition to the lifestyle shoot, we had the pleasure of photographing five ‘Ambassadors’ representing patients suffering from  MS. These people were amazing – happy, energetic and great spirited.  Thanks to the folks at Draft, Novartis and the great support team to make this shoot a highlight of the year!

How proud would Bubba, my great grandmother, have been if she knew she was singled out as Tina Fey’s look-a-like!  The book’s a riot and I’m pumped she sourced our stock.

Hats off to Mike Hartley at Big Flannel for his talent, vision and most importantly patience – if PDN had a ‘how many site revisions can a designer/programmer tolerate?’ award, he would definitely win big! In lieu of that, we are proud to share a nod in the Website Category of this year’s PDN Photo Annual.

Thanks again, Mike

Ashley Gieseking and I had the pleasure of working together last week for Flashes of Hope, a national non-profit organization, that ‘changes the way children with cancer see themselves through the gift of photography.’ The mission is simple – take great portraits of kids who are fighting cancer to make them feel beautiful and special.   As with many volunteer efforts like this, what begins as a donation of time ends up a gift for the volunteer.  We shot 14 kids throughout the day, each more amazing then the next. One mother teared up when we were able to get her son to smile and laugh. She pulled out a five year old picture from her wallet and said… “this was the last picture I had of him smiling until today.” Wow.

We are looking forward this weekend to our second annual Help-Portrait event.  Last year a grassroots group of St. Louis commercial artists participated in the international movement to share our work/skills with families in need.  Over the course of a single day in the studio, we treated over 50 families to the same treatment that only large companies can typically afford.  Check out the video and contact the studio if you want to get involved….. enjoy.

This is one of them.

“This image was inspired by artist Andrew Wyeth, particularly the emotionality of the landscape, as well as the use of color and texture. Like Wyeth I was born and raised in Southern Pennsylvania where great value is placed on the natural world.” – Tom Chambers
