Project 3/ 50- Saving the Brick and Motar our Nation is Built on!

I feel really fortunate to live and work in Laguna Beach!  One of the things I really love about Laguna is the eclectic vibe of downtown!  There aren’t too many places in Orange County anymore that have a really great shopping and eating area that is unique.  That is why I have gotten involved with several other locally owned business to promote the 3 50 project.  Here is what it is in a nutshell:

3 stand for: What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared?  Stop in, Say hello (or in my case, e-mail me) pick up something that makes you smile!   Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around!

50 stands for-  If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned, independent businesses, it would generate more that $42.5 billion in revenue.  Image the jobs and benefits it would bring to our hometowns.

For every $100 dollars spent in a local, independently owned business, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.

It only takes one person to start a trend and that is you!  Help Blue Sky’s Studio, Little, Fairytales and Little Bohemian start a trend in our hometowns to encourage everyone to support our local businesses.

Here are a few great shots from our “Support Local Businesses” photoshoot!  Enjoy:

Welcome to Clicking with Kristin

Thanks for taking the time to check out our new BLOG filled with everything Blue Sky’s!   We love sharing images from your shoots, little stories, recipes, experiences and advise on becoming a better photographer.  We also love to brag about other businesses and encourage you to check out all the wonderful things they have to offer.  Sooo, we decided to go bigger and better with our new blog.  You will get to experience much bigger images from your sessions and we really want to make this a more personal experience for everyone in our Blue Sky’s family.  We encourage you to leave comments and suggestions, or to just say hi and tell us about your experience with our Blue Sky’s photographers.   We will keep our “specials” section up to date, so check back often.

I know this sounds kind of corny, but I truly believe this is my purpose in life.  I love capturing those intimate moments between couples, the giggles of a toddler, the wonder of a new baby, laughter between siblings, the beauty of pregnancy and all of those moments in between that make up relationships.  I am so thankful that I have found my passion in life, but none of this would be possible without all of your support.  I truely thank all of you with all my heart for supporting Blue Sky’s!
