Onto some awesome updates. Me and Tricia plan on doing Red Riding Hood photo shoot very soon! The process of the costume for it is in the making and we are so excited! 


Tricia measuring out 

Once this costume is done, We will be planning on shooting very soon. She's doing such a fantastic job with it and we are both very excited! 

After Red Riding Hood, She has also been busy working on a Cinderella Costume that we can use. I am so thankful to have a best friend... That can sew, because in all honesty, I can't sew for the life of me. 

One thing I have learned as well, is I think I might try to also do many shoots during play rehearsals, because the cast I have got to know a little bit from going there, they are such a great cast and people! As I have seen the 2 sessions of their rehearsals and get to know the play a little more, they fit them so perfectly well. 

I am so thankful to have these new opportunities in store for me and I am looking forward to keep on going as much as I can.

So as you can see I been pretty busy, I just have to keep on pushing myself to keep moving forward, but lots of fun and new people to meet along my journey! 


I'd like to take this time to say Thank You  to everyone who's been a part of this whole journey . 


An update on my Brother: 

He is home still recovering and unable to work but he is keeping in great spirit during his healing process. He is still unable to work, with no income coming in yet. I still have a GoFundMe campaign going on for him. 

I feel bad because I wish I could help him, but I can't until I start making sales. If anybody would like to donate to his GoFundMe account, I know the both of us would so be greatful. (He doesn't know I'm running this for him, I'd love to be able to surprise him after, and plus he's stubborn) 





His GoFundMe link is : http://www.gofundme.com/5nwq6s

My brother has always been a hard worker, worked as a carpenter all his life, and this has greatly put a burden on him. and I'm trying my best. 

Thanks everyone for reading, and I hope you all enjoy my journey as much as I am! Thanks for sticking around with me!

Going in Two Directions, Focusing on the Same Thing

Hello everyone! First I'd like to say, Happy Thursday! Can you believe Turkey Day is in a week? Where has the time gone too? 

Anyways, I have some great updates that I'd love to share with you guys! Everyone who has been reading my blog knows how I have been running my Etsy Shop. I'm sure many know, How I wanted to "expand" myself into working on more things. 

I thought it would be a great idea to be able to offer my photography work on items, and that is exactly what I am doing! 

So now, I am running 2 different shops, even though they are both involving the same things. Now I can create and design my work onto many things such as mugs, cards, post cards, pillows and more! 

So, On Etsy, I will have my digital downloadable images along with a few Photography Prints 










Then I will have my Zazzle Shop which will have my work created on many different things! I can also make and customize anything you'd like if you'd like me too!

So if you're looking for Gifts for the Holidays feel free to stop on by! 

I'm also going to be practicing on some Digital Art as well to make even more patterns and more for cards and so on. 

I know running two shops, with 2 complete different places sounds a little crazy, But I am hoping they will compliment each other and have it work out the best.

Thanks for reading guys and I hope to hear from many!

News and Updates! A little bit of everything and a Thank You!

Good day everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday! Tonight I would like to share some fun things I have done recently. 

For a start, I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a dress rehearsal for a play called "The Sisters Rosenweig". The cast were pretty amazing and with many fun personalities! I went there to do some photo shoots for them to use. I know the play is going to be great. 

Those who know me know I don't do a lot of photography with people so this was a great opportunity for me and a great experience. 

Here is a sneak peek at one of the photo's from the dress rehearsal, during their rehearsal. :) 


So on some more news, I finally have some prints on hand! I put in an order for some 5x7's to start out with. When a picture is sold, they will be sent inside of a cardboard easel frame with a black border. 


I have a few I have recently listed in my Etsy shop, but if you do see one that you would like to purchase, and is not in Etsy yet, please feel free to shoot me a message. You can still order through me personally, I accept PayPal! If you also see one but would like it in a different size, I can also order those for you (I don't have other size frames yet though). 
I been trying really hard to push my  name and my work out there. I even started to list on Ebay as well as Etsy and might make a store front for my website. (Maybe). It's been pretty hectic, a lot of images and just so much work but I am very dedicated and optimistic. 
I would like to give a big Thank You to everyone who has been sharing and showing support. A lot of people who know me know I enjoy what I do and I do take a lot of pride into my work. This is probably something I have been so focused on and working on for a long time and I wouldn't have made it this far if it wasn't for my friends and family and fans. You guys are a huge motivation to me so I deeply Thank You for that! 

I plan making short term goals, and continue to strive and work on them into my long term goals. So my short term goals, is pretty much selling my work. I am hoping for the month of November and December, to sell at least 10 Photo's.. Whether it's an instant download, or a print. I don't think 10 is a bad idea for 2 months, right? lol. 

So cheers to everyone here! I hope everyone has a wonderful evening/night as it's almost my son's bed time here lol

Fundraising Surprise for My Brother

So those who know me on a bit personal level, My brother recently had heart surgery. (Got to love heart complications in the family!). He had to get his Aorta valve replaced with a mechanical valve.

He is getting released tomorrow from the hospital but it's still going to be a very long road in recovery. My brother is only 33 yrs old. 

He doesn't exactly know I am doing this because he is as stubborn as I am. So I have some special things going on. 

On Etsy for the month of November, 2014, 50% of any profit I make on Etsy will be going to him. 

Also, I have set up a GoFundMe account as well for anyone who wishes to donate. Anything will help towards him. 








I'd like to take this time to thank everyone who has read this, as it is important to me. Besides the fact that he is family, I know exactly what he is going through right now and the struggles down the road while he is recovering.  

I would love to be able to surprise him, and at the same time see him relieved of any stress on bills, medicine ect.. While he is home healing. 

Thank You everyone! <33
