Want to Help the Morrisons?

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

People continue to check: the Morrison6 website, my blog, WCCO’s Morrison page for updates every day. Did you know that they had to change servers 3 times last week to handle to traffic. Your clicks went over a million in the first couple of days after the babies were born! AMAZING! I know the people who check every day genuinely care and want to help. Some have filled out the “how to help” inquiry on WCCO, some have donated money towards the Foundation…others just wait and pray.

If you’d like to do something practical and you have kids clothes or equipment you’d like to get rid of, please go to Bethany Church today, Saturday, June 23rd from 10am -2pm (www.bethanytc.org ) and drop it off for the Morrison Garage Sale Fundraiser.

We will be accepting new and gently used KIDS clothing, BABY equipment, diapers and baby wipes.

Financial Donations:

Morrison Multiples Corporation

c/o Fortune Financials

10261 Yellow Circle Drive

Minneapolis, MN 55343

It’s not too late to show your loving support to this precious family. All proceeds of the Garage Sale Fundraiser will go directly to the Morrisons.

Our Thoughts are with the Morrisons!

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

Every Wednesday I meet with some of the young moms of our church and usually we talk about parenting and pray together. Today was different. Without planning it, today was about moms getting together to talk and process everything that’s happened to our friends Brianna and Ryan. Mostly, we just admitted that we don’t understand and we have lots of questions.

I have had countless conversations with women who are trying and failing to get pregnant. Then, more conversations with people who aren’t trying but get pregnant anyway. And now, friends have lost children they desperately wanted to love and watch grow. I don’t have answers. I wish I did.

I was talking with a friend today about the need to trust in a plan, believing it’s good, but I will never see the whole picture. I decided it’s better than believing there isn’t a plan at all.

Again, thank you to all the women writing on my blog sharing their stories. I’m amazed by your vulnerability and words of kindness for the Morrisons.

You know what’s amazing? I started blogging in March to have an easy way to talk to clients and display pictures. Now…it’s become my highlight of every day. I love that my friends read it! And that they’re smiling now! I never thought it would would be so important to so many but I’m glad it is.

Pictures…Capturing People and Emotions!

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

I remember when I went to WPPI this past March I kept hearing about developing a style and “look” that’s unique…These past few weeks I’ve taken pictures of my growing nephews in South Carolina, vacation, the Morrison6, my newborn nephew in Canada and then yesterday I did an engagement shoot. I’m realizing more and more how important pictures are. That’s a funny thing for a photographer to say, eh? But, it’s the truth!

Every stage and the emotions that go with each are precious and pictures help us to hold on and remember. There’s something extremely special about capturing a moment that will never be repeated.

I’m honored. The Morrison babies Bennet, Tryg and Lincoln will never be forgotten…and I had a part in that.

I don’t know I have completely figured out “my style” but I know my heart is to capture the emotion of the moment. I love seeing people smile, ohh and ahh or not be able to say anything at all when they see their pictures for the first time. There’s no better profession as far as I’m concerned.

So, on that note…get out your camera and take some pictures! :) or call me and I’ll take them for you.
