Had so much fun with today’s creative shoot with @janelledarleanordin @leela.stylist

Recording so video and stills today for the incredible @jjshiplett

So it’s hard to know on Instagram who sees posts, who knows Cosette’s story, and who might all find these posts repetitive. For those who may not know, my daughter Cosette began selling her paintings to raise money for charity when she was 3.5 years old. We started that journey because she found out there were kids and families who did not have enough money for food and water and she was deeply moved. As we discussed issues of poverty with her the desire to help grew. So she started selling paintings. It’s been 4 years, and 130 something paintings later... she has raised over 15,000 for charities. She is now working on a collection of 18 paintings to auction off at an event we are planning called “Cosette and friends”. The goal is to raise money for two water charities @firstmiracletrust and @charitywater as well as inspire other kids and adults to do what they can to change the world. Her is her latest piece that will be available for purchase at the show(likely October 6th) #cosetteart #changetheworld #charitywater #dowhatyoucan #inspiredkids

When friends come to town and request to visit your secret beach😊

She was excited to get her paint on today. She completed another piece for the upcoming gallery. Pretty sure the event will be October 6th. Details to come. Check out my instastories to see the final product. #paintingswithapurpose #cosetteart #childart #charitywater #changetheworld #dowhatyoucan

Had fun working with @thegarmentlife again today. She has legit started a fashion revolution. Go check her out. It’s very inspiring and I know I challenged to rethink how I view fashion.

Image #2 from my last project with @leela.stylist This image speaks of how at one point our carefree, innocent children begin to sense and realize this world is full of injustices, darkness and pain.

I prefer this to everyone smiling perfectly at the camera. This picture fully captures Harper’s wild and cute personality and also represents life with three young kids. #upandawaystudios

The Pirates left them a new map yesterday that led them to quite the buried treasure. In the box was some shells, pins, dabloons, gems and coupons for a free bucket of balls at the driving range. Also coupons to take us for free lunch at a&w. #adventuresatpiratescove

The eyes.😍 Can’t wait to share more from tonight’s newborn session at the lake. It was a non traditional and 👌 #upandawaystudios
