{Day 321 (On the 10th day of Christmas)}

“On the tenth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, ten lords a leaping.”

Sometimes people come into your life quietly.  Let me explain.  I’ve known Cale for quite some time now.  We met probably about a decade ago when he was just a young lad.  In the last couple of years I’ve watched him grow up into the nicest young man.  Bro thanks for being brave enough to be a part of this.  It takes a lot of guts to model with eleven women (but hey you’re with a bunch of gorgeous women so it’s not that bad right?!) and raise a $1,000 dollars for orphans.  Cale, you have a way with words and you use that gift to bless and encourage others.  Thank you for always being a gentleman and for caring for others the way you do.  Oh and you look really dapper and handsome in these pictures!

Autumn, you’ve been incredible doing three different shoots!  I really appreciate all you have done.  Thanks for shooting in the cold, in the rain, and practically in the dark.  Yes, I think you’re wonderful!

UPDATE! $64,766.64  Can we push it to the 65K mark?  Let’s help these darling children and make a difference in the lives of these orphans in India.  They need our help and if you would spare even $5 dollars (which is basically a cup of coffee) then it would be such a gift.  Plus isn’t it better to give and bless people than to just make this season about getting?

Name: Cale Vincent Haugen.
Named after my uncle, Kale, who was named after the vegetable.
My other uncle, Vincent, is living on the edge in Anchorage, Alaska.
The name “Haugen” is Norwegian, of origin, but literally means “small, grassy mound.”
Age: Eighteen years of age.
What state do you live in: Oregon
Activity you enjoy/hobbies: I make an effort to enjoy everything that comes my way-but I would have to say, I’m very involved in graphics design, typography, architecture, cinematography, and cycling.
Favorite Christmas movie: Gremlins, yo. It’s not really a christmas movie, but still.
Why you wanted to be a part of the project: With all the hurt and brokenness this season, I just want to show people love. In our day and age, having a heart for the broken is so needed, and so ignored.

    He has a certain elegance and these pics almost have a Narnia feel to them. (one of my favorite movies!) 🙂 Great job again!

    Elaini, Are Cale and Lorianne siblings? Or is it a conscience that they’re both read heads?

      coincidence. 🙂

      Haha nope! It’s just coincidence that Cale, Lorianne, AND the photographer all have beautiful red hair. 🙂

      He is indeed.
      Thanks Ashley! The Lord has blessed me so much and has provided at every step. Not to mention that he brought some amazing people along to help me!

    What a wonderful surprise to have a man in your line-up!
    Like the other commenter said, I expect to see C. S. Lewis walking down the road behind Cale.
    Elaini, I saw your mom at Trader Joes this week but I wasn’t able to introduce myself because she was talking to someone else.
    Have a safe and love filled Christmas!

      Pretty much made my month when he agreed to do it. 🙂
      Their property and house is like walking into a wonderful novel…
      Oh wow! That’s crazy! I’m sure she would have been happy to meet you. 🙂
      Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

    HAHA Gremlins!!! That movie does happen during Christmas season though, right?? I guess it could work! I haven’t seen it in over a decade though and really should again.

    He honestly has a name like a “lord” too! These are great shots and he looks very fashionable!

      I hadn’t even heard of that movie till Cale put it in his “bio”…what type of movie is it?

      He’s a pretty neat guy if you ask me. 🙂 And yes he has a great sense of style.
