Cans for Comments
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 1:25PM | Posted by Emily
I am beyond swamped with emails, wedding photos, and album designs, so I'll have to make this quick!!
When I get a little email in my inbox that says someone took the time to comment on my blog, it really brightens my day. Every thoughtful comment you leave makes such a difference to me. So in return, I'd like to brighten other people's days and make a difference by donating one can of food per comment I receive on here for the next 15 days. At the end of the 15 days, I will donate cans of food to my local food bank here in Charleston WV.
I will also be making donations to the Charleston Animal Shelter (because I love love love all my furry friends!!) AND the Children's Therapy Clinic. I'll be donating a dollar per comment, so on December 16th I'll add up all the comments and half of the money will go to the Animal Shelter and the other half will go to the Children's Therapy Clinic.
It can be easy to take things for granted. The clothes on our back, the food in our bellies, our healthy children and pets. So many people and animals aren't so lucky.
This is something you can do to help out without putting forth much effort at all - just poke around on my blog and if you like what you see, leave a little note. Your little note could end up being a meal for someone in a few weeks - how cool is that?
Thank you for your continued support and kind words! Now go off and comment for a good cause!!

GREAT idea, Emily! Not only am I going to comment so a can will be donated, I am going to do this same thing, so I can in return donate some cans to local shelters!!! :)
lovely idea! glad to easily contribute with a comment. :)
I love this idea! I feel the same way about comments! They make my day - especially when I am swamped. Perhaps my next blog post will be the same thing. I am sure this is an idea you don't mind having stolen :)
And if you need help with album design....let me know :) I am running a holiday special until 12.4 midnight EST!
Great idea!!!
So sweet Miss Emily :)
What a wonderful idea - do you mind if I borrow it for my own blog?
THIS IS AN AMAZING IDEA!!! I will be leaving a comment here and maybe somewhere else on this fabulous blog that I stalk routinely. I will also be blogging about this on my blog to get the word out (to the few readers of my blog). Happy Holidays pretty lady!
You take AMAZING pictures! I always like looking at them on facebook...I am actually a friend of Grace :) so that's how I knew about you...and this is a really nice idea for the comments!
What a wonderful WONDERFUL unselfish thing to do...this has been a bad year for many, and this time of year is even tougher.
(and I'm glad you are including our furry friends....most people just forget them)
we miss you..stop by to see us sometime!
you are so clever and such a good samaritan! I am so happy you are doing this, for everyone really needs to sit back and remember the true meaning of the Holidays and what giving is really about! You give love in every single one of your pictures and I am so thankful to know a great person with a big heart! =)
I check your blog everyday, you're an amazing artist. Glad I could help by commenting.
Emily! I love checking out your albums! You have such a unique perspective...hopefully in the next few years it'll be MY TURN to get married, and I can have you as my photographer...as long are you're willing to drive to Cleveland...ha :-D I love the donation idea...
Emily,
Your heart is so big! I think the beauty of your soul comes out in how you capture the beauty of all your subjects! I love all your pictures, and I cannot wait till Lilly and I have another photo shoot with you. PS. Lilly is on the mend. Big Hugs and may your holidays be blessed. Lori
amazing photos lady. I had no idea you're so talented...or that you're a next generation fan. Fabulous
This is awesome. So sweet. :) I hope you get LOTS of comments -- I'll try to help out. :)
What a wonderful idea! Though I don't know you (and feel somewhat like a stalker when I leave comments) I so enjoy following your blog and your work. Happy Holidays!
So thankful for everything I have--and happy to contribute some love here <3
1 can here! <3 your photos so much
I think this is a beautiful idea! Your community is lucky to have you.
And I love your photography, by the way. I'm a lurker. ;)
Love this and love your images.
What a wonderful person you are, Emily. I truly believe a person's character (or soul, depending on if you're spiritual) shines through their work, and your's certainly does in a big and amazing way! Kudos to you for doing this.
Hey Emily I just wanted to make a comment about the photo session you had of my son...I could not be more pleased with the all of the pictures you captured. Not only did you get great shots of him smiling, but you really captured his personality. He makes so many faces and has so many different emotions, and you were able to capture all of them. So thank you very much for the photo session, it was incredible!!
It's great to give back isn't it? Good job- I'm doing this too!
Emily --

Great idea! and a great thing you are doing for these charities!

Way to go! Get involved and make a difference!

You are a wonderful person Emily and Cans for Comments is just one way that you are showing it to your fans and clients. I, too, will donate some cans of food on your behalf.
