Run, Walk and Roll Baby! ~

At the end of June, I had the extreme pleasure of being the official photographer at the Todd Crawford 5K Run, Walk and Roll event. I actually attend every year, and look forward to it...however this year, I didn't run! I took pictures...and loved it even more! What a fantastic event...put together by a fantastic person: Todd Crawford.

I met Todd 8 or so years ago, when I first moved to Louisville. His brother and my husband went to High School together (as it normally is in Louisville). The Crawfords have become great friends to our family...all of them! I was honored when Todd asked me to take pictures at the Run, Walk and Roll. Of course, I could NOT turn it down, I didn't want to! :)

This is such a family event...and its for such a great cause. Please, do yourself a favor and check out the Todd Crawford Foundation. He has 3 events each year...and I challenge you to to participate in them...I promise, you won't be disappointed! :)

Here are just a couple images from the fantastic day...go here to view more :)

Cans for Comments!

If you were to ask me "What did you get for your Christmas when you were 11 years old?", quite honestly, I would find it extremely difficult to remember. In fact, I can't remember what I got for a lot of Christmases growing up...and even now. However, I do remember the Christmases that our family made it a special mission to give back.




In the spirit of "giving back"...I am doing Cans for Comments (HUGE thanks to Courtney Reese for giving me the idea). How does it work? Well, starting today, going through December 20, I will donate one can per comment, on any entry on this blog. I will keep a photo tally and document me (and you) giving back...

Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

(Facebookers, you must comment on the Images by Rachael blog, not on Facebook, to be included. Thanks!)

Ready, Set, Go...:)
