I’m going to be posting photos from the Seattle Helping Haiti event until Wednesday . 2.10, and during that time all of the profits from my etsy, redbubble, and photoshelter sites, along with all of the profits from photo shoots booked during this week, will go straight to Haiti via Partners in Health. PIH has been working in Haiti for over 20 years, they have low administrative costs (so more of your money actually makes it to Haiti), and I trust their knowledge and resources there.

seattle helping haiti

Last week I was asked to photograph the Seattle Helping Haiti benefit concert and jumped at the chance. It’s in no way possible for me to understand what the people of Haiti are going through right now. A lot of my family members were in the Dominican Republic when the earthquake hit and that shook me enough, I can’t even imagine what’s happening down there. The Big Picture photos of the earthquake, 48 hours later, 6 days later, the faces of Haiti, and 3 weeks later are core shakers to say the least.

Our world travels so fast now. Today’s news is quickly forgotten as we consume the latest in what’s going on in the world and it’s easy for really important things to get buried. We’ve all heard about Haiti so much that it’s easy for us to pay less and less attention, but there’s so much more that needs to be done.

I’m going to be posting photos from the Seattle Helping Haiti event for the next week, and during that time all of the profits from my etsy, redbubble, and photoshelter sites, along with all of the profits from photo shoots booked during this week, will go straight to Haiti via Partners in Health. PIH has been working in Haiti for over 20 years, they have low administrative costs (so more of your money actually makes it to Haiti), and I trust their knowledge and resources there.

So! Spread the word, buy some prints, book some shoots, and check back over the next week to see all of the photos from the Seattle Helping Haiti event. <3

The silent auction items were RIDICULOUS

(although, as a Minnesota girl, I don’t really want to talk about football right now)

I spent my last night in Minneapolis at Sauce for The Mood Swings’ CD Release party for Recessionista. Ashley, Sallie, and everyone at Susstones have always been super awesome and supportive of my photography; their show was the perfect way to end that chapter of my Minnesota music life.

All morning I’ve been listening to Minneapolis music and I don’t think anywhere else will be able to steal my music heart back. The talent in that city is unreal and I’m so lucky to have been surrounded by it for so many years.

I just got back from the Winnipeg Folk Festival last night and am still trying to get back to real life. It’s virtually impossible for me to try to explain what it’s like and why I love it so much. I’ve been to a bunch of festivals and until you’ve been to Winnipeg you won’t understand what sets this one apart. It’s entirely different and, 90% of the time, is the highlight of my year.

The festival really starts rocking all day on Friday, but here are some shots from the music on Wednesday and Thursday night:

Martha Wainwright

The Punch Brothers

Xavier Rudd

And a little Folk Fest magic

Did you go this year? What’d you love? What’d you hate? Favorite workshop? GoGoGo!
