TOMS Shoes?

Hey guys, promise more debuts still to come. Sorry for the delay we are working as fast as we can. As you can tell by the number of debuts it's full out wedding season. Hope to have two more up before mid next week and are hoping to get a few up from our last two KC engagement sessions.

I wanted to take this time to let everyone know about some great causes that we've been learning about just recently. One of them being "TOMS Shoes". I know at first you might think TOMS Shoes? What is that? or at least this is what my thoughts were at first. I learned about TOMS Shoes on Mike's Colon's blog and further learned he had found out about it from one of my classmates, Ashley McCue, at his workshop (an up and coming photographer in Texas).

So really what is TOMS Shoes? TOMS was inspired by a traditional Argentine shoe and a mission to help poverty and heath issues around the world. TOMS accomplishes this through its unique shoes and commitment to match every pair purchased with a donated pair to a child in need... no complicated formulas. Simply put- if you buy a pair of TOMS they give a pair to a child in need on your behalf. Pretty cool way for a company to give back.

The phrase "to whom much is given, much is expected" has always stuck in my head as we've been so blessed by God with the growth of our business. Currently we are working on a project to do just that, hopefully soon we will be able to talk more about it but for now know we are working on something.
