The DeYoung Family has an Amazing Story. Matt and Lindsey and their sweet daughters, Lola and Kia, packed up their comfortable life here in the States and moved to Tanzania, Africa in the small town of Mumba to fulfill the desire in their hearts to help in any way that God needed. Lindsey is a professional photographer and has used her talents to serve and educate in Africa before, but now their family felt led to serve specifically giving back in orphanages in Africa and aiding community members in small business development.

They essentially sold all of their possessions, rented out their home to missionaries, and trusted God would guide them. Today they are choosing to remain joyful & faithful in the midst of pain….

Last week we heard from Lindsey via Facebook that the DeYoung family was flying home unexpectedly as little Lola (5 yrs. old) was ill. They flew to the States with just the clothes on their backs(which were summer clothes…a bit
chilly for temps here in MI!:) They immediately took Lola to Helen Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI and found out that their sweet baby girl has Luekemia.

As you can imagine this is each and every parents worst fear. Their whole life has been flipped upside down and they are faced with some big changes. They are in need of a car, housing, clothing, and unforseen expenses for Lola. This is where YOU come in…

We are challenging everyone to meet a goal: 100 donors of $100 dollars!

Due to the immediate need we are hoping to raise this amount in by March 4th! *Of course you may also give larger or smaller quantities, as well.

This is completely attainable…we just know it:) and although the DeYoung family would never ask for this on their own…they have SO many people who love them and want to help and do not know how.

**It’s super easy – an this fund goes straight to them!!!

This kind gesture will hopefully give them some small amount of relief amidst this most difficult time. Your generous hearts will forever be grateful by this Amazing Family!

Please give back today!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Paul & Adria were so much fun and it definitely shows below. Holly was their fabulous coordinator and did an amazing job (*she used to coordinate weddings at Disney World)! Every detail was just yummy. They got married in Holland and their reception continued at “Till Midnight” where it had fabulous natural light – which I LOVE! Elvis even came to visit and serenade them, which was followed by a night full of great dancing and late night coney dogs… The ring shot below – is the business card of the amazingly talented Ryan Prins shot with me for the entire day – and during dinner we get to relax a bit – and we’re discussing his new branding and the he hand me his new card which has his name on it and them I flip it over and it says “IN” …I said what’s IN…and he says..are you IN? LOVED IT – and then told him I was using for my ring shot. You see- anyone who shoots with me – my hubby, Betsy, knows…that I am picky about my ring shots! I DONT repeat ring shots. I will take one shot to show the rings – but then there’s the shot….the one that just comes to you as you..and that’s it. If your new to my work – feel free to check out my ring gallery. There are only a handful of photogs that really have fun with these..and I think it’s totally fun. Anyhoo – enjoy this GIGANTIC post and have a great weekend…I’ll be in Chicago..enjoying U2!!!

just a little change…I’ve been talking about it for a while, so most of you have been expecting this…

I am always encouraging new photogs to use their name in their branding…. if you can ~ I know there are some exceptions to the rule…but your name is remembered so well.  Many of my clients refer to me as Lisa Kae instead of my studio name…so I’m making the switch before it’s too late…

 I told my last group of workshop attendees that I would be changing mine in the next few weeks.  I have been meaning to do it but…mainly waiting to come across some little piece of inspiration to lead the way…well I found one…yummy fonts and a little red heart (gotta have a little spice ~ but I just love my green & blue)  **BTW my hubby says if I paint one more thing green in my house he’s going to protest….just a little in love with green!  I have updated my wedding site and it’s almost finished…and I am working on updated my portrait website…since it hasn’t been done in a year and a half!!!  

**SIDE NOTE** Abby one of my brides from Indianapolis….started a fun little blog about things she finds or fun furniture and is also going to be blogging about all her wedding details…and yesterday she started with her fabulous photographer ( *me*) and how it helped her remember all the details…and she did have amazing details …her engagement gallery and wedding are in my galleries, if you want to check them out.  Here is the link to her blog!  Thanks Abby!!!   …..and Justin and RyAnn should be up soon!!

I have plenty of options now….you guys really do read my blog….I feel the love! will get back to you later this afternoon!

ok…so the hardest age to photograph is around ages 1, 2, 3….so of course I am trying to teach that in my workshop this weekend….do you have any cute ones?? I need one…for like 20 minutes on Saturday. Send me a quick pic if you have one. I will give you what I shoot! Any bride wanna climb back in her dress for 15 minutes? I wanna see how many mini sessions I can fit in my workshop…the more practice the better. I do have three dresses (don’t ask why-i collect them) but there around a size 10, 8, and 6. Let me know! I already have a newborn~ thanks to my friend Betsy!

]]> http://www.lisakaephotography.com/blog/2009/01/07/only-3-spots-left/feed/ 0 my poor little laptop… http://www.lisakaephotography.com/blog/2008/12/13/my-poor-little-laptop/ http://www.lisakaephotography.com/blog/2008/12/13/my-poor-little-laptop/#comments Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:49:35 +0000 Lisa http://www.elitephotodesign.com/blog/?p=283 Seriously…I need to apologize. All the sessions I thought I would have proofed by the end of the weekend….are going to be delayed. Not only were my children and myself included sick the whole week…and I’m not just talking fevers and laying in bed all day..that would have been a cake walk…I’m talkin’ ALL the other stuff too….yea – you know what I mean….

Now, in some small way, I am glad it happened this week and not the week we will spend with family at Christmas…because that happened 3 yrs ago…and everyday we woke up someone else had it…overlapping a few days ( I never got it) we even had a large metal bucket that was thrown out at the end of that week…because everyone had used it..it was metal… We could hear it upstairs….someone running …then the metal bucket clanking on the floor….then followed by a flush…I can laugh about this now as I write this..hystericaly actually…it really was a “family vacation” movie situation.

All that to say, on top of all of that, my laptop (my main editing machine…) screen stopped working on Thursday…and I had to bring it to the apple hospital. Great news! They can fix it in store – yea! …except it will take 5-7 days. I tried to bribe the apple genius…with a large tip to get it done early…no luck. I do have my desktop, but it is 3 times slower….and is soooo frustrating to work on. But I will be working my but off as soon as they return it to me! I apologize…but this error, was actually not my fault! – just apple’s.

Thanks for understanding! **I will have time to blog a bunch of weddings that I’ve finished, but haven’t had a chance to blog….**
