AMY SEELEY | Independent Singer/Songwriter

September 1, 2010 9:28 PM

I received this beautiful message from singer/song writer Amy Seeley today in response to a message I left on her blog.  I only wish I had this kind of depth in my writing…. someday I’ll bare my soul, for now… I will use my sense of humour as a shield to protect my inner thoughts and feelings.   I’m not quite there yet but getting closer to realizing my passions and being able to articulate how I feel…. and to some day be able to make a profound impact on a life as Amy does so eloquently in her musings….

dear kim,

portland is welcoming in september with a cool, refreshing morning rain …
mornings like these are rich grounds for ponderings .
& your note sparked just that in me . thank you for writing it .
your words … “where i left off” have me contemplating .
the photo you sent is so beautiful …
& i can’t help but say that i am hoping your creative soul is fascinated today .
that you know your uniqueness … the ways that only you, kim, can create photos, words, a book even .
may you know through and through the remarkable givings you have inside you, today, to offer .
to yourself .
and those around you .
from my heart to yours,
sincerely,
amy

Singing was my first love…. then I found photography.  And although I love what I do, I still have a yearning to go back to singing at coffee houses and finding it in me to finish the song I started writing.   Although I loved it wasn’t my calling…..  a girl can still dream though…

and a post isn’t a post without an image and since I’m feeling emotional today…

WALK FOR MS | Fraser Valley Photographer Kim Mallory

May 3, 2010 7:58 PM

We had an absolutely gorgeous sunny Sunday last weekend  (totally unexpected).  So it was just a pleasure shooting the MS Walk, which I have been doing every year for the last several years as a volunteer.   The MS Walk helps to raise money for the cure and awareness.   It’s also a fun time for the family with food and entertainment.   The walk is 5 km or 10 km if you want to run it.  You can take your kids, your dog and enjoy ice cream and other treats at the rest stops along the way.   I drove the walk since I had to shoot it…  (I know I know, you try carrying that camera 5 kms..)  My kids tried to hijack my car at one point because they were “tired”   Brother!   Anyway, I made them finish the walk.. and we met at the finish line.   It was a great day.

A GOOD CAUSE | Kim Mallory Photography

April 15, 2010 9:24 PM

Sheesh, I have so many posts to make and so little time these days!    I need to post about this foundation that I came across today though. The Tiny Sparrow Foundation a non-profit organization dedicated to providing lasting memories through the beautiful art of photography to the families with children who are facing life threatening illnesses.

This very thing has been on my mind lately. I believe that every day is a gift.  Nothing stays the same and you just never know where life is going to take you.   I am fortunate at this moment to have a happy and healthy family but there are so many people out there that have had the shock and devastation of  their children getting sick with the unimaginable possibility and sometimes eminent reality of death….

So… I am helping Lidia at The Tiny Sparrow Foundation spread the word and it is my promise to her that I will put my talents to good use and help those in my community with sick kids by providing them with pictures of hope..  if you know of anyone that could benefit from this offering, please let me know.

In the meantime…  here are some of Lidia’s images and a donation button if you feel so inclined.
