How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.

~Anne Frank

This Friday night, my friend, Tamara (picture below in our last trip to La Tienda), and I will be hosting a La Tienda sale at the Spring Bella Noche Event. I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about La Tienda many times … it’s a cause and a mission very near and dear to my heart.
[Read more about how Gigi Photography is involved with La Tienda here.]

When you purchase a piece of La Tienda jewelery, you’re not just taking home an amazing, UNIQUE gorgeous piece of art…

… you’re changing something … you’re improving the lives of these amazing women.

They are able to support their family financially.

They are able to continue with their co-op job, supporting their family in a way that makes them proud.

… They are able to give their children food.

and be the mothers they want to be.

They still need more … but this is a way we can help them … right now.

Please come out to the sale this Friday and help us better their world.

La Tienda

Amanda – Hey Gigi
would you happen to have one of those bracelets that you have pictured above, I visited your booth at Bella Noche, but had to go by quickly and just bought a couple things but didn’t get a chance to really look. If you had that bracelet I would totally buy it from you, it’s so pretty and such a wonderful cause.

May 5, 2011 - 12:21 am

Mara – Gillian, what an amazing woman you are! I stumbled upon your blog accidentaly, but what a prize I found! You have beautiful photography but you also do so many other wonderful things to reach out and help others. Thank you for the inspiration!

Brenda (Gillian’s Mom) – Gillian, this is a beautiful presentation! Tugs at my heart too!

I walked into the studio the other day to find Lucia (3) and Lyla (4) sneaking some leftover Easter chocolate.

The two little stinkers were so quick to hide the forbidden treats behind their backs, but the melted chocolate circling mouths and the foil wrappers around their feet were enough to erase any hidden doubt of what was up between them …
“Awww, girls, you aren’t supposed to eat chocolate in the morning!” I told them, holding out my hand to claim the leftovers …

“But momma …. momma, we didn’t eat them,” Lucia insisted. “The chocolate jumped in our mouths!!!”

Kids are so much fun.

Note to self: throw out old Easter candy asap.
