As most of you know (or maybe not) I started working full time in December. This was a hard and semi-tragic (I'm a bit dramatic) decision for me and the only comfort I took was knowing that my children would be attending the home & childcare of an old family friend, Luisa.

As the months have passed I have seen my children grow in so many amazing ways. They have made new friends, new social skills, new pre-school skills, new eating skills (Luisa is an amazing cook, she made Olivia crave lentils... LENTILS people) and so much more. The main thing I have seen is the bond & relationship forged with Luisa and my children. What a comfort and an amazing blessing to go to work to help out our financial situation and know that my kids are in such loving care. It has been priceless to me and I know to Kit as well.Luisa has never had anything easy in her life.

My Dad first met her on his LDS mission and has kept in contact with her ever since. She was born in Peru and moved to the U.S. 25(ish) years ago. She has raised three amazing children, all on her own. She has had this daycare in the bottom half of her home for twenty plus years. All of the kids she currently watches (except my own) have gone to her since they were 6 weeks old. She knows each child, loves each child and helps each child to grow, every day. She has struggled financially all of her life. Raising three children on your own, while working is no easy task but she did it and she did it well and she did it all on her own.

About ten years ago Luisa was in a horrible car accident that almost took her life. She has since recovered and moved on with a positive spirit. When she was in her car accident she lost a lot of her teeth and ever since has had very severe teeth problems. Since she has had a daycare she does not have insurance. She has been steadily losing weight the past year because she cannot eat because her teeth are so cracked & the bone where her upper teeth are, is gone. She needs to have surgery to re construct a bone and fix all of her teeth which will leave her in six month recovery period. The total cost for this is over 21 thousand dollars, all for which she will have to pay out of pocket. She runs her daycare 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and now thinks she will probably need to get a second job to try and earn extra money.

Here is where you come in and where I come in with my heartfelt call. Does anyone have any ideas at all of how I/we/us could raise money for Luisa's teeth to be fixed. If you knew this woman, her lifestory, her heart, you would want to help too. If we all work together, somehow, maybe we can help her pay for this. Please, no matter if you know me or not, leave a comment with your idea's or thoughts or suggestions on what I can pull together to help
Luisa.

***Update***I am currently in the process of opening a bank account in which people can donate via paypal or to the actual bank. This way you can be anywhere and still help. I'm in the process of organizing my thoughts but a big huge hug to everyone who has commented so far. XOXOXO

Photo Sessions

2009-03-27T13:01:00.000-07:00

EVERYONE!!!

I am having a weekend of Photography extravaganza. Kit & the kids are going to Cedar so I have decided to try and get as many sessions as possible. If you have any reason for ANYONE to get a darling picture taken, I am very affordable, easy to work with and we'll have fun, I promise!! Email me @ Lindsthomp@hotmail.com

2009-02-15T07:53:00.001-08:00

Ok, so I totally under estimated what its like to be a Mommy and work full time and somehow fit in being a good wife, daughter and friend. So, needless to say, photography has taken a back seat.

I really really love photography and so I have decided I need to start doing more. Even if its just taking more photos of my ever growing children, or of my family & friends. So, if anyone even checks this blog (ha!), please know, I haven't given up, I'm just trying to find a balance in life. If anyone wants to schedule a photo shoot with me, please let me know lindsthomp@hotmail.com. I took some Valentines day photos (nothing special since we were on our way out the door) I will post some of those a bit later in the day.

Alice in Wonderland

2008-12-23T12:20:00.001-08:00

Here is my Olivia in her Alice in Wonderland dress (in Disneyland.) The magic of Disneyland is shining in her eyes don't you think?

I have been so busy with the kids, moving, the hub and my job that I have not had any recent photo shoots. I am looking to re-start the biz in January so if anyone is interested I will be doing photo shoots only on Saturday's for now. Email me at lindsthomp@hotmail.com.

Happy Christmas!!!

I'm back!

2008-12-13T11:16:00.001-08:00

Finally I'm back! I'm just catching my breath from moving & starting a job all within a few weeks of time! I do have many many new pictures but I just to get through them all and edit them! Check back soon!!

The Carter's- Sneak Peek

2008-11-04T12:40:00.000-08:00

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the Carter family. They were SO easy to
take pictures of, I had SO many pictures that turned out great. Kit came along with me as my assistant to make the kids laugh. The darling little boy thought Kit was super funny, he is smiling in almost every picture. Isn't it a gorgeous location? It also means a lot to this family because Mom & Dad were married right there. Cute right?

Doing what I can

2008-10-02T08:18:00.001-07:00

I have been desperate in thinking of ways to help these two.

(Click on Nie Recovery for their story, you can also find updates on http://blog.cjanerun.com/)

I have never met them, but I have been an avid reader of Stephanie's blog for some time now. I once e-mailed her telling her I loved her blog & asked her about more information about the cute silhouettes she makes. She was so gracious and kind in her e-mail back to me. She has inspired me through her blog, you can see her sweet soul shining through her eyes in every picture and with every word.

I can't sew, I can't paint, I can't mold things from clay, I have no extra money to donate and I'm not very crafty but, I can take pictures and I can edit & make them look pretty. Elder Uchtdorf inspired me with his beautiful talk (see my personal blog) . So, I am going to hold an auction. I don't know if anyone will even bid, but even twenty dollars helps, ya know? I am auctioning off a photo session (Salt Lake, Cedar or St. George) and Christmas card (a file sent to your e-mail where you can send it to a printer of your choice.)

Ok, so officially here is what you are bidding for,

Photo session (Cedar City, St. George or Salt Lake or any town between St. George & Salt Lake, I really can't name them all. It may be a few weeks before I can make it to Salt Lake so please keep that in mind.)

The photo session includes 20-25 edited and processed images on a CD.

1 Christmas card w/ your favorite picture(s) This will be a j.peg file that you can send to any printer of your choosing. (Snapfish, Shutterfly, York photo, etc.)

So there you have it. I am going to start the bid at $10. If you choose to bid, please leave a comment with the amount ($20 for example), your name(if you will) and your e-mail. I will end the auction Thursday Oct. 9th at 10:00 AM Utah time. I will announce the winner on this blog & by e-mail, so make sure to leave your e-mail address.

All proceeds go to Stephanie & Christian and can be payed through their paypal acct. I will give out the info to the winner.

Thank you all so much- for links to Stephanie's blog, and her sweet sister Courtney's blog, go to my personal blog. http://thompsonlove.blogspot.com/
