Haircuts for the Homeless – Kansas City – National Award Winning Film

Jul 12

At a time in our culture where things are difficult and our view of humanity feels uncomfortable I like to look for the good. I’m not saying we should ignore the difficult, but I hope to just remember that there are so many GOOD PEOPLE in our city here to help and give and care just makes me feel better.

This little film just won two Telly Video Awards. I am very proud of that, but more so I am proud that I live in a city where there are amazing people who are giving of themselves in so many ways and happy to get to see the gratitude on the faces of those receiving such gifts.

Take a minute to watch this sweet little film. It might make you feel better too.

Bootcamp Fitness KC

Aug 16

This is the most amazing group of people I am so lucky to have found this summer. My friend Sharon (one of the trainers here at Bootcamp Fitness) and I were talking at the end of the school year just a few months ago about the triathlons we were planning on participating in this summer. It makes so much more sense for Sharon to do a triathlon, as she is a tremendous athlete.  I had decided, rather impulsively, that I would go with some girlfriends to Chicago this summer and participate in my first race to celebrate my 40th birthday. Now, I am not an athlete, although I am pretty active and have run several 5Ks and bike fairly often, but to do a triathlon is kind of a big deal. So Sharon and I were talking, and she encouraged me to try her gym. One thing led to another, and I am completely hooked. I honestly think if I hadn’t work so hard with Coach Rut and Sharon these past few months I would be nowhere NEAR as ready to do this race next weekend. I won’t be setting any records, but barring any crazy situations, I feel pretty confident that I will finish the race, upright on my own accord. :-). I might even do another one next year! Yes, I can talk big like that BEFORE the race. I think I said that after each of my babies too. 🙂 I did however stop having babies at two. Hopefully I can do more triatholons than babies. Mabye THAT is my new goal!

Anyhow, I am excited to help Coach Rut with his new website, you can see it HERE. We had a great photo session last week and I have many more images and a video to share that you will see soon, so check back on bootcampfitnesskc.com often! And sign up for a class while you are there – I promise you, you won’t regret it. You don’t have to be training for some crazy midlife crisis race.

So, thanks Coach Rut and Coach Sharon for your encouragement!  See you tomorrow AM at 6:00!

Mr. Stinky Feet – Commercial Shoot

Apr 23

mr. stinky feet

It’s Cookie Time!  What fun! I am like a celebrity in my own house! My kids are beside themselves that I, boring old Mom, got to spend the morning this week with the one and only MR. STINKY FEET! Otherwise known as Jim Cosgrove. For those of you who haven’t had the pleasure of hearing him in concert OR listening to his music, take a minute to check him out. He is WONDERFUL!  He is a brilliant songwriter and singer who entertains our young ones.  You may have heard his work on my last website.

So Jim needed some photos taken for his new album cover and publicity spots and I was the lucky one who got to do it!  I stepped out of my comfort zone of my own little studio and we did this work at Jim’s Father-in-Law’s home with his lighting set up. They turned out wonderfully, and are now in the hands of his Graphic Artist being turned into a very cool Cover for his next Album.  I can’t wait to see what she does with them and the final piece!  Pretty cool!
