The Heart Project | Connecticut Hearts for Heroes
I'm so excited to present the very special project Oatsy and I have been working on putting together for you over the last several weeks. These photos were taken in 13 towns near our home in Connecticut. While it begins with a few of the darker messages of this time, I wanted to show you that there are so many more beautiful displays of love and community, helping us remember to see the light in the darkness.
I knew as soon as I had this idea that I wanted to use this song by David Ramirez about finding the light in the darkness. Songs used in videos must be legally licensed for video usage, but I was unable to find this song on any music licensing site, so I contacted the artist's manager directly, assuming I would never get a reply. In less than 24 hours, I was given permission to use this song, free of charge, since I run a small business. So I want to express my deep gratitude to David Ramirez and his manager Shane Wells for allowing me to use this most beautiful and perfect song. If you like it, I hope you'll head to iTunes and give it a download.
Thank you to all the healthcare and essential workers and to all those spreading love, joy and kindness in a time when we need it most ❤️

A few of my favorite images from around our area of Connecticut.
Here’s a couple more favorites but make sure you check out the video to see all of them. It was truly inspiring how many hearts and signs we found.
This is our studio image that was the final image in the video. This isn’t one of the signs or hearts around the state, just our special tribute to say thank you to everyone on the front lines that’s been working hard throughout this difficult time.
And as we begin to reopen, let’s remember all the sacrifices people have been making for us over the last few months and let’s continue to be good members of our communities. Share love, kindness and compassion, not germs.
