BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS
Baa! Moo! Woof! Neigh! Meow! In pet language, that means,
“Please bring me to church with you on Sunday, September 25th.”
Why? We will celebrate together with the blessing of all creation
and our animals at our 10 AM service. Please be sure your pets are
safe and secured on leashes or in cages. So, if you want to get your pets
blessed, bring them on down to Church of the Incarnation United Methodist on
this coming Sunday, Sep. 25. All are welcome!
Also on this day, we will gather a special offering of pet food or
supplies for “The Buddy Foundation.” The Buddy Foundation is a local non-
profit organization that relies on donations, volunteers, membership, and grants
to offer animal shelter services in Arlington Heights area. Their animal food bank
needs include: dog/puppy food and treats, cat/kitten food and treats, non-
clumping cat litter (small bags preferred), pet beds or blankets in good
condition (old towels), dog and cat toys and paper towels. Monetary donations
are also gratefully accepted. Just make your check out to COlUM and write “The
Buddy Foundation” on the memo line. Thank you!
The Blessing of the Animals is a long standing tradition at COlUM
which is looked forward to by both children and adults alike each year. We listen
and talk about God’s unconditional love for us at church each Sunday and we
see examples of unconditional love in many of our animal companions at home
the rest of the week. This event is an opportunity to acknowledge our animal
companion’s love. Then, we hope to see you all on Sunday 10 AM!
Fine Art Photography
One Artistic Eye Deserves Another
Over the years, I’ve developed a good feel for creating exceptional images of your fine art projects. Whether you need new slides for an art show application, shots of you in action for your studio’s website or just want to capture your beautiful art collection, I can get the photos you need with the spirit you’re looking for without compromising your artistic vision.
We’ve worked with dozens of artists and fine art collectors over the years to document their artwork. No matter the reason why, I can provide you with documentation that not only documents your artwork, but captures its inner soul.
Capturing Special Events
Your Biggest Moments Captured, Without Interruption
Let’s face it – a special event is something we look back on for years to come, remembering the good times we’ve had and the wonderful people we’ve shared our lives with. Capturing that event is just as important as any other detail you need to work out. My photography will help you capture the magic of the moment, whether it’s a graduation, wedding, anniversary, baptism or similar special moment in your life.
Because I’ve worked with so many clients in so many different environments, you’ll barely notice I’m there – the occasional touch to fix a hem or request to turn slightly is all you’ll notice. This is just one way I capture the magic.
