I love these guys! They are so cool and so kind (a little quirky…not that there is anything wrong with that) and their band is comprised of talented musicians! My good friend Dottie introduced me to them at a party last year where they were playing and then we had them play our party this past summer- see here. I also did a photo session with them this past fall. It has been great getting to know them better over the year.
What a wonderful day not only getting to see the band lay down some awesome tracks for their new recording but to also spend some time with some old friends, Matt Boudreau (MB1) of Broken Radio who engineered the session and Matt Baxter(MB2) of Baxter Ranch who is producing the session and recording overdubs at his own studio in Auburn. I’ve known both of these guys for so long – I used to own a recording studio in Emeryville with MB1(circa 1996-2007?) and and I have spent so much time recording, overdubbing and mastering together over the years with MB2. I introduced Andrew to MB2 when he told me he was starting a new recording project because I knew they would hit it off. Finding the right people to work with can often make or break a project. MB1 and MB2 come to the table with so many years of experience and AHB (might as well keep this acronym thing going), with so much talent and enthusiasm- it was great to see them all working together! Hey AHB, MB1 and MB2, I’ll post these on face book so that you can grab them for yourselves….Check out Andrew Heringer Band!

Here is a link to their online article which includes more photographs. Go grab a magazine and check it out !

My extended family has a beautiful farm up on the Umpqua River in Oregon. We don’t get up there as much as we’d like mostly due to the amount of travel time it takes to get there and back. I wish it was about 4 hours away instead of 8-10 hours- we’d go up all the time! My uncles Tommy and Chris and their wives Cherry and Michelle live on the farm and take care of it on a day to day basis. In order to get to it you have to cross the Umpqua River (best not to arrive at low tide ha, ha) which is part of the charm- once you are there you feel away from it all. The other part of the charm is that my grandmother Alys(my father’s mother) has a strong presence there even though she passed away in the early 90’s. Alys was an amazing woman with a huge magnetic attraction-everyone loved her! This slideshow is from a recent family gathering in September. We spent a lot of time learning about our family history looking at old photos and learning more about our Tututni heritage through spoken word. I spent a lot of time shooting because I thought it would be cool to have the images and a slideshow to look back on which could give a current historic flavor so that 100 years from now, our children’s, children’s children could look at all my old photos and, of course, try to guess who was who and get a feel for the farm in this era. Enjoy the slideshow and if you want to see the images individually, click on the gallery link just below the right side of the slideshow.

Earlier this year I was introduced to girleffect.org by an old college friend of mine on Facebook. This was about at the same time that I was deciding which charity my business was going to “give back to” this year. I was immediately captivated by not only the cause and how much sense this approach to action made to me, but also by the creativity of the ad designers – very powerful – check it out – see for yourself. While thinking about it I imagined my two daughters, each with so many ideas and aspirations. The thought that in so many parts of the world they would not be allowed the opportunity of realizing those dreams due to either spirit crushing poverty or oppression, moved me to try to help in this small way.
This year Lisa Richmond Photography made a gift to BRAC Safe Spaces & Loans for Girls in Tanzania on GlobalGiving which I found through the girleffect.org website. BRAC’s project will provide 500 girls in Tanzania with 20 safe spaces, education and micro loans to help them lead confident, self-reliant, dignified lives. BRAC manages a similar program in Uganda. BRAC USA seeks to improve the well being of the poorest in Africa and Asia, particularly its women and children. To do so, BRAC USA will support BRAC in its work to build scalable, sustainable institutions that are indigenously led over time to create wealth for the poor, promote health and social development and advance education and entrepreneurship.
There are 600 million teenage girls living in poverty in the developing world. This project benefits girls in one of the world’s poorest countries: Tanzania. The project addresses the prevalent inequalities created by subordination, early marriage, frequent pregnancy, abandonment, divorce, domestic violence, marginalization and exclusion through financial and social interventions. The effect is a higher standard of living for families, villages, and the entire country.

Happy Holidays- Together we can make a difference!
