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…

SO THANKFUL RIGHT NOW | Kim Mallory Portrait Photographer, Chilliwack, BC

July 30, 2010 8:32 AM

There are no words to describe how I’m feeling right now….  these images are stirring up some kind of wonderful, happiness inside me that I haven’t felt in awhile.   I’m editing and watching these photos come to life….  and seeing the emotional connection that my girls have that can get lost in the day to day grind….  they love each other and I’m in tears right now because I captured it and I’ll have it forever….   I’m so thankful that I pushed myself to do this on the last night of our vacation…   there is nothing more important than family….

CUSTOM PHOTOGRAPHY PRODUCTS | Kim Mallory professional designer

June 1, 2010 4:31 PM

I am all over the place lately, super busy trying to keep caught up so I can take my month long Cross Canada Adventure in July.    If you really want the skinny this week, you just need to find me on Facebook.  It seems that’s the place where all the action is going on.  I like Facebook because it’s interactive.   People see the post and comment on it and we can have a nice little conversation.   I’m kinda social that way.    The big news this week is my gig on Shaw TV for The Beautiful Woman Project...  Channel 4 – but only in Chilliwack and East up to Hope.   So check it out, it’s on every 30 minutes until Friday June 4th, 2010

Here’s what I’ve been working on today.   I’ve started taking photos of some of the products that I create ( and let leave the studio, reluctantly…) my work of art… sniff, sniff… oh how I wish I could keep them all!   I’m making a conscious effort to photograph my creations now for an online ordering system that if I work at it when I have time, should be ready in about 3 years… haha!

Heather

This is my beautiful daughter – Heather.   She’s smart and funny and gorgeous and visiting from Kelowna where she is in her first year of Engineering.  She’ll be 22 in 12 days and she is as lovely as lovely gets…  She’s not happy about turning 22, but her Dad & I are thrilled that she made it through her crazy teen years and turned into such an amazing woman.  We are so proud of her and just love her to death.    She looked so pretty with her blue eyes and her cute pink hat (I love hats)   I just had to grab some shots of her when we were tubing up at Manning… it was minus 16 and for us wet coaster’s that is COLD – so we only had a few minutes!

I couldn’t decide on the colour or b&w….

SOUL SEARCHING | Kim Mallory Fraser Valley Photographer trying to find herself

December 29, 2009 11:21 PM

As per normal, I am trying to figure out how to enjoy every second of my life…  I hate feeling stale and so I’m constantly working on change…  it’s exhausting, but exhilarating at the same time – IF you can find your happy place as an artist, otherwise you’re not enjoying your life as you should.

The great thing about photography is that I can change it up.   My attitude about what I thought photography should be and what I am feeling now are changing by the day…  I no longer want to look at the world through Fuji Coloured Glasses, which is what I saw when I shot film…  I’m looking at my images now and I just want them to melt my heart….  and give me that emotional reaction that seems to be coming less and less lately.   Maybe it’s because I’m too busy. Maybe it’s because I’m my own worst critic.  Maybe I am getting bored.   But I’m not one to sit around and wonder.. so change is coming… I feel it brewing in a big way. (just sayin).

Here’s My new rating system that I’ve come up with – all images must fall under at least one of these ratings…

If it doesn’t give me goosebumps – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t make my heart flutter – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t look cool – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t make me smile – it’s CRAP

If it’s not cute – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t have meaning – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t make me wish I were a kid again – it’s CRAP

If it doesn’t make me feel like I’m the luckiest girl on earth to be doing what I do….  well, you get where I’m coming from….

I think that about covers all the bases…
