Motherhood, School, Photography, Holidays Ahh!

It has been quite some time since I have been able to sit down and just write. Well, Here I am! For those who don't know, back in the end of July 2015, I enrolled myself into school so I may pursue an A.S. Degree in Digital Photography!

I will admit between motherhood and school and small shoots here and there, it's been pretty busy and tiring. I will admit I am enjoying school though and so far it's going great.



I hope everyone has and is enjoying this Autumn season. The temperatures here in New York are working its way down to the colder (yikes)! In a way, I am looking forward to winter time, at least the first snow fall or two. I hope this year around I can take some beautiful landscapes of untouched snow. This year in the fall I was able to go to some different places that were very beautiful. Autumns always been my favorite season due to the beautiful foliage colors and crisper air. There is nothing more refreshing than seeing nature work in a cycle that works like a cleanse. I'll be honest though, I do miss seeing so many beautiful flowers.

Not that I'm a squirrel stalker like some of my friends think I am, I learned I do have a fascination with these little guys. I love watching them every day and feed them whole grain oats medley cheerios. I probably look like a crazy lady with a small zip lock bag with the cereal walking around but that's okay! I figured maybe I am helping them gather food for the winter. I haven't seen the chipmunk that lives around here in a while, So I hope to see them in the Spring.




I decided I wanted to expand my photography into something more. Right now I have been working on Fine Art photography but also stock photography. With this in mind, I decided to even expand my Etsy Shop to different categories creating one for Stock Photos. Stock Photos will be a digital download and would work great for many things such as websites, blogs, journals and more. I figured it's new to me and I'd like to try it. Thanks to a couple of great people who I met over the last few months has helped me a lot with their advise.

I should probably sign off soon, but I hope you all have a wonderful night and if you're looking for beautiful images for your walls at home or office or even as a gift, please feel free to stop by and say hello! I will be adding more to Etsy very soon!

Is It Spring Yet?

Just so some of you may have a good laugh, Tomorrow is suppose to be the first day of Spring and apparently, we may be getting more snow. Now don't get me wrong, Snow is white, fluffy, pretty, but it's been some long cold months with a lot of it this year. I'm definitely ready for the warmer weather to come! 

Warmer weather means more shoots, Hopefully I can start photo shoots for others. I need to get myself going one way or another business and career wise. 

Last week, I was able to visit the boat launch for a bit which is in Rensselaer, New York though. The best part? It was at a  wonderful time in the evening where the sun was starting to set. I got a really nice silhouette shot done over Albany, New York which made me very happy!

I'm definitely ready for the Spring though, I can't wait to go to places, and find more flowers. As I am exploring and learning more, I get more and more excited about new things. I'm still doing some photography classes online, and I really am learning so much more, especially when it comes to the creative side of Photography. This year, I want to not just do good, or great, but I want my work to be amazing and make people smile each day. I want people to see the beauty of all things, whether it's something living, or just a view of scenery. This planet has so many beautiful things about it, and I just want to go out and find them!

Not only that, but I want to help create memories. Memories for themselves, for their kids and loved ones. Memories and pictures are the only thing we have that we can keep in our hearts. I'm sorry to sound all mushy, but its very true.  Memories are the one thing that no one can take away from us and yes, I do try to capture that as much as I can. 

That is why I try to make it always fun to shoot with me. I love natural emotions, natural people being them selves. If anyone knows me, and knows how I work, it's definitely my best friend Tricia Stuto. We have done a ton of photo shoots together. Cosplay, Portraits ect. and we have so much fun. Tricia is an amazing person with a huge personality that so many adore. We do weird things but have fun and I try to bring out the best emotions.

See why I can't wait until Spring? lol

I can't wait to see flowers blossom, Beautiful landscapes and just so much more this year!










I'm still trying to raise money so I can build my dream, my goal. I'd love to have my own local small business as I share the beauty with everyone. So here is a thumbs up to Spring hopefully coming soon! If you would like to help in any way, It would greatly be appreciated on so many levels. I still need to work on getting equipment so I can keep pursuing. I have a GoFundMe page along with my Etsy Shop which all profits from Etsy will help. :) 

Thank You all for reading once again, and Thank you to everyone who has already helped contributing and sharing and showing so much support!

Congratulations To The Lucky Winner! Also, I'm counting down til Spring!

Hey everyone! First, I'd like to say a HUGE Congrats to the winner of my first 8x10 Give Away! Thank you all so much for playing, and don't worry, I will love to host another one soon! 

The weather here has been so cold and snowy! You know it's bad when the wind chill brings it to a -25 feel. Just to cold! I have honestly been hibernating indoors lol. 

I've been working more on my Etsy Shop to try to help get some sort of sales, and of course, I wanted to try something new. I decided to make handmade bookmarks and add them in. I'm hoping to make sales with Etsy to still help save and make money to help us build a local business from the bottom up. 



For those who have helped by sharing and visiting, I'd like to say thank you so much! We are hoping the increase will bring us some sales. I'll always stay positive. 

I've always been working on using my own work to design on products while also learning how to do some digital art. ( I'm proud of my camera I created digitally lol). 

Between Etsy, Working on Zazzle, Writing and being a Mom, It's been rough lol. I can't wait for the Spring time so I can enjoy my love of taking pictures of pretty flowers in the bloom and scenery with the warmth of the sun. 

On a personal level, My 6 yr. year old son has lost a bottom tooth today! The best part is, the one right next to it is also very wiggly, so anytime soon it will be two teeth lost! 

Anywho since it's getting late. I hope you guys stop in and say Hello and take a peek in either my Etsy, Zazzle or our regular website. Hope you all have such a lovely evening!

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!
