It was an afternoon filled with great food and lots of love! The Kenney held it’s annual summer picnic this past week. The weather was perfect as were the lovely manicured grounds.

Happy 75th!

I was honored to be part of this celebration held at Endolyn’s Joe’s. Dad will be celebrating his 75th birthday so the family threw a little surprise party for him … and was he surprised to see me. While family portraits wasn’t what he was expecting we got some great shots with some great smiles. And who wouldn’t be smiling if you got an orange wheelbarrow as a gift! Happy Birthday!

Fauntleroy Food Fest 2013
Even though it’s all about community it was the FOOD that drove them in to mingle with neighbors!  Kids of all ages enjoyed the tasty treats provided by local Fauntleroy community vendors. It was also a time of reflection as we said good-bye to long-time President of the Fauntleroy Community Association, Bruce Butterfield and hello to a new President, David Haggerty!

Auction raised money for Resident LIfe Care Fund

gailannphotoLeave a comment

It was the 6th Annual Spring Champgne Brunch & Auction for The Kenney in West Seattle. Family, friends and supporters gathered to raise a glass and raise some money for The Resident Life Care Fund.  Keynote speaker was photographer Nick Del Calzo, who conceives and produces his own photographic projects that advance human values. Being a photographer myself I was in awe of his great talent. His black and white images truly capture the human spirit. Look for his book “Medal of Honor: Portraits of Valor Beyond the Call of Duty”.

In the meantime take a peek at the fun these folks had….

2012-2013 Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu is Crowned

gailannphotoLeave a comment

I was honored to be on hand for the official coronation of Miss West Seattle Hi Yu at the annaul Hi-Yu Tea and Auction this past weekend. I come from a pageant background having been involved with the Miss USA Pageant system but this one is very different. This particular organization is geared toward education and presents scholarship money to young women in our area.

At the event I was surrounded by young ladies in grade school who were polite, articulate and charming. No doubt their eyes are set on one day becoming Miss Seafair!

To view all the photos from this event click here! http://www.gailannphotography.com/HiYuTea2012Vol1/

Kayli Schulz was officially crowned the 2012 Miss West Seattle Hi-Yu Queen at the annual Spring Tea and Auction held March 18th at the Hall at Fauntleroy. Over 150 guests were on hand to watch as Miss Seafair Veronica Quintero presented her with her tiara, sash and flowers. In addition, the fundraiser will help support the West Seattle community float and the scholarship program for young women.

Kayli Schulz will represent our community this spring and summer at events and parades around the Pacific NW.  She will also represent us at Seafair’s 2013 Scholarship for Women Program for the title of Miss Seafair.

In the photo Kayli is surrounded by the MC of the tea and auction – Seafair Pirate “The Marquis”, also known as Chuck Marcoullier, and her West Seattle Hi-Yu court – Junior Court Princess Elena Kline; Junior Court Queen Thea Pulido; Miss WS Hi-Yu Kayli; Miss Seafair, Veronica Quintero; and Junior Court Princess Amanda Elders.

A blast from the past

gailannphotoLeave a comment

Don’t ya just love finding cool stuff?  I was very excited when I got the call from the Fauntleroy Children’s Center saying they had uncovered a chalkboard from 1939 behind some walls they were tearing down.  I ran up there and was just delighted at what I saw.  I could just imagine a room full of little kids taking part in their lesson.  In fact, I wonder who Don Joseph and Larry are?  I understand that one never wanted to find their name on this list….hmmmmm.
