Wow August is almost over and I haven't even done my Caught Being Kind for the month.
Just to refresh your memory as to what this monthly post is about:
This past year was Mason's first year in school. Often he would come home and say that he hoped that he would be caught being kind. I wondered what that meant. One day he came bursting through the door yelling "MOMMY, MOMMY! I was caught being kind". He then explained that if he helped classmate out without being asked, or did something nice for anyone else and the teacher noticed, sometimes she would send the name to the office and it would be announced over the loud speaker and a prize would be given. Needless to say he was so excited and I was so proud.
That idea stuck in my mind and as I progress through photography there are a number of people that have helped me along my way. Once in a while I send emails with questions and I'm always amazed by the kind response and time that these people take to help out. I would like to start a Bi-weekly or Monthly posting entitled "Caught Being Kind", to recognize some of those photographers who despite their success haven't forgotten the little people!
*Here is my only disclaimer.... I don't wish to target any photographer featured to be bombarded with emails. Help me honor them by taking this as incentive to reach out to your favorite photogs or maybe you can help out someone in your area.

K not only do they rock as photographers (I totally stalk their blog), but they are some of the nicest people. Every time I've had a question about how they did a shot or maybe how to do something cool on the blog, they have answered. I mean seriously do you know how many photographers I've emailed along that way that never answer? So thanks for being cool and helping a chick out! You've been caught being kind!
