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!

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! 

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
