all kinds of light (and lots of links)

27 Jun all kinds of light (and lots of links)

Although it may seem quiet here this week, nothing could be less true. There have been all sorts of things swirling about so I feel a little recap of the week is in order:

For one thing, I can’t stop reading (over and over again) Jen Lemen’s post on the collaborative this week. The idea of being enough despite our many flaws is exactly the kind of message that we all need to hear and embrace.

On the subject of self-kindness, I will be leading a small sliver of the Mondo Beyondo Dream Lab this summer. I don’t want to give away the secret mission but I can tell you it’s going to be transformational.

I’m gearing up for Picture Summer which starts on July 1st (have you registered yet?) and am giving away a complimentary session over at The Creative Mama this weekend. Keeping in mind that with each photograph we take we are building a legacy is so inspiring to me. What we do matters. I love that. If you want to hear what some of the participants of Picture Spring had to say, I encourage you to check out a few testimonials and browse through some of the photos people captured as well. I promise you won’t be disappointed waking up to a photo prompt in your inbox every day for 30 days of July.

If Ali’s collective stories of summer series doesn’t get you excited for the season, nothing will.

I’ve had so much meaningful photographic work flooding in lately too that I am reminded of the importance of family and how love always wins. Life can change so much, so fast but the love of family is forever and can survive all things. It inspired me to share some words of love over on the amazing Me Ra Koh’s blog this week.

We’ve all been invited by Sarah-Ji to join the snail mail revolution at Shutter Sisters this week which is so awesome! Don’t you love mail? Me too! And this revolution has a photographic twist! All you have to do is comment over there to sign up for the fun!

And if you’re looking to finally get some of your amazing photos on the walls, there are two incredible sales going on right now that will give you the nudge you need to just do it! The Aaron Brothers One Cent Frame Sale is happening now. Love! And for something above and beyond a frame, Hello Canvasis offering Shutter Sisters 40% off of all orders placed for these last few days of June. Just use the promo code HELLOSISTERS for the discount. More Love!

Something tells me you have all kinds of light to share too. Feel free to add to this list here in the comments. We all love light, don’t we?
