HAPPY THANKSGIVING

To all my clients, thank you so much for being a part of McKee Photography & Web Design's first year of operation! It truly means so much to me that you have taken your memories and placed them in my hands! Again, thank you!

I just have to share something really awesome that our church did this weekend. Instead of taking an offering, they gave an offering... Yes, instead of us giving the church money, the church gave it's people money. WOW!!!! All he asked is that we don't spend it on ourselves & don't give it back to the church. We are suppose to give it to someone else. I just thought that was soooo coooool! You can read about what people have done by visiting the Bless It Forward Experience link on your right. We plan on doing our part on Friday. I had this grand idea of visiting a battered women's shelter or the like but so turns out that someone we know is struggling badly. We just didn't realize it. So now it's our turn to lend a helping hand to them!

On the photography note! Did some quick portraits for Dallas Family Dentistry to incorporate into the website that I am working on for them. Yestarday, I did some more photography work for Dallas to Dallas Ride for Wet Noses on a billboard in Dallas. Friday will be the day spent getting ready for Jacob & Adeola's wedding which will happen on Saturday. I will be attending the rehearsal & wrap up any loose ends. I always like to visit the place I'll be doing this type of photography before I actually do it.......

Other than that...again, Happy Thanksgiving! God bless!

Launching my blog!!

OK, so this is my blog. First time I've done this myself. I've set them up for other people but not for me! So what will this blog have....hmmmm.

First, I'll talk about my church which is the Church at the Ridge. I'm not what you would call a "bible thumper" as a matter of fact it wasn't until I started going to this church that I've opened a bible. Strange don't you think since I was born and raised Catholic!!! I LOVE this church and the people that make up this wonderful group of people. THIS is what a church should be....a group of people gathering for the love of God & Jesus and supporting each other through this life. If you haven't heard of this church visit www.churchattheridge.com or better yet come to service on Sundays at Austin Middle School at either 9:30 or 11AM! I just finished with my small group called Starting Point which was great! I got to know some other members better & it helped me better understand other views as well as my own. OK...onto the next thought.....

Secondly I'll talk about my business & how it grows. I started my business in April of 2007 & it's been a struggle but one I love. Photography has & always will be a passion of mine. A passion that I hope will impact other people. My long term goal is to provide affordable services & do photography that will impact other people. I hope that I can help people see their own inner beauty and yes lift the souls of those who are lost. Hmmmmm......this is something I've been struggling with. I just envision reaching people through this gift that I've been given & feel the need to do more with it than what I've done. This will no doubt be a big part of this blog as I figure out where things go.

Finally, I'll talk about the different projects as well as different techinques I've learned etc......

Well that's it for now....it is Sunday and that's family day at the McKee's! Take care & until next time....God Bless!
