Share the Luv - Cans for Comments!

When people who read our blog write to us, it totally rocks our world! We love to get comments & questions and of course, a compliment just makes our day!

For the next 7 days, if you share the luv, so will we! For everyone who posts a comment on any of our blog entries, we'll donate a canned good to our local food bank. It's that time of year when sharing is extra-special and extra-needed. So go ahead, it's easy to help out - just click on comments function at the bottom of the post & write to us!

And while you're checking out (and commenting on) our photography, click on the blogs of our fellow crazy-cool comment-craving, can-giving colleagues - they're donating cans for comments too at their local food bank: Lori Miles, Bebb Studios, Blue Olive Photography, CJ Scott, Erin Gilmore, Amber Hughes, Jamie Delaine.

Yay - more luv! Thanks Tracey Heppner Photography, Michael Wachniak, John Heil & Kristel Wyman for joining! Check out their imagery & leave them some luv! Dontcha just love it when an idea spreads? If you have a blog, go ahead, jump on the comment can-wagon! Support your local food bank (& email us so we can add you here!).

A post without any images just doesn't feel right so here's our ceremony favourite from Sarah+Kevin's wedding - more from them tomorrow!



Thanks for sharing the luv :)

It's always good to see your work, which probably doesn't seem like "work" because you love what you do. It's great to see your love of life and desire to help others too. Thanks for what you all do and how you do it...it is inspirational.

I'm a little late to the "can-wagon", but I just wanted to say "great job!" to you both for the "Cans for Comments" idea. It's a great reminder to get out and support your community. For the Yaletown area, two organizations that could use people's help are A Loving Spoonful and Yaletown House. Merry Christmas!
