Engagements / Make a change Monday IV

This week is pretty exciting! Two subjects in one post!  I will start with Make a change Monday.

Buy fair-trade coffee

Workers on these conventional coffee farms must often meet a harvesting quota, if they don’t, they don’t get paid, forcing them to bring on family members for help including their children. Since their children aren’t technically employees they aren’t protected by any laws. Fair-trade coffee demands premium prices are paid per pound of coffee and even higher prices if the coffee is organic. Workers earnings aren’t affected by market fluctuations, thus eliminating the need for unfair quotas.  In addition to this, fair-trade coffee is generally grown on smaller farms with the use of shade.. Shade grown coffee means not cutting down the rain forest which means more happy birds and animals.

Make the commitment to purchase fair-trade!

Engagement Photography

Happily I will be shooting Crystal’s and Kyle’s wedding this up coming year and I couldn’t be more excited… The reception location is absolutely drop dead GORGEOUS.  I will have tons of amazing images for them and my portfolio… I am excited to say the least.

Tech details:  Canon EOS 1 with some Fuji Pro 400H
