About Me

My photo
I am a family, portrait, wedding and lifestyle photographer. The process of making people comfortable with the camera is just as much of a passion for me as is capturing the moment. It is important to me to make the photo session experience a memorable one as well. I know it's a generic statement but I am passionate about life and the urgency to document the moments as they unfold. Take time to invest in the days of your lives. Call me--I can help! I've created a "book of days" gallery on my website: www.mbgpics.com where I do that for my own life. Hopefully it showcases who I am as a person as well as as a photographer.

easy (and fun) lunchboxes...

serendipity. i love that word. and it's a word that comes up often in my journey.

a friend posted about some new lunchbox system she had ordered. when i read the blog post i just had to have them.

see--we hike A LOT. we take the boys to the park A LOT, to the zoo A LOT (you get the drift here) and needed something fun and easy for lunches. BINGO! these fit the bill for us in so many ways.

i love them!

i loved the idea and placed an order.

then when i got the pretty packages in the mail i had an idea to photograph them. i contacted the owner (official title: Mom and CEO) Kelly Lester and we immediately clicked.

she is passionate, creative, kind, generous and so excited about her product. (just like me!)

upon hearing about my idea to photograph them she immediately credited my pay pal account for the order in exchange for the pics i took. i had fun playing around with my camera and the lunchboxes.




















(note: water bottles not included.)


here are some important details:
these single-lid, 3-compartment plastic food containers come in fun colors and contain no bpa, pvc, lead, vinyl or phthalates. (you can read safety reports on the website too.)

they are FDA approved and (best of all!) dishwasher and microwave safe. i was quite pleased with how sturdy and durable they are.

need help encouraging your child to take a healthy lunch? read the lunch tips section from the website too to make your child's lunch more fun and nutritious.

so-- we went on a picnic this weekend. i packed up our lunches and took some shots. kelly loved them and is using the images for her marketing!

no payment was necessary--kelly just sent me some lunchboxes to share with friends. perfect! and i love the idea of one passionate business owner/mom helping out another!

serendipity!

so i am going to spread the news to you too. first comment gets a set for yourself to try!

enjoy!

You know I love the "bento style" lunches - I use them for my kids all the time. I found some "gladware" containers very similar to these, and I end up using them for Penny. I find their lunches are much healthier if I make them this way - I've also seen and am a fan of this product - no waste and awesome looking!
