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!

Things Are In the Making, Find Out How You Can Help!

So today is the day that we grew a pair and did what probably should of done a while ago. We decided to finally put ourselves out there and ask for help from the community. Why?

We want to start this amazing and creative Photography business. What is our biggest goal? Is running a creative Photography and Art Studio.

Tricia is not just a model, not just my best friend for over twenty years, but she is an OUTSTANDING Artist.

We decided to put ourselves out there. We know we have to build from the bottom up, and deal with the legal things on this journey.

We're asking for your help! We created a GoFundMe page to help us boost ourselves and get the ball rolling.

Anything donated will help us with equipment such as Backdrop supplies, lighting and to help with the cost of renting a room and other equipment pieces.

This will help us start small, and build ourselves into a whole lot more. We want to bring something unique and creative with excitement and fun for many. We all have to start some where, right?

Whether you can share with your friends and family or donate, we truly appreciate all the support. Please help by giving us a boost to get things rolling. Thank again for helping in any way you can!

If you'd like to see some of the Photography and it's potential please stop by our Facebook Page Here or you love landscape, macro and beautiful scenery photography: Here

Thank You so much for your time in reading this and for everything! Have a wonderful night everyone!

Planning on a Give Away on Google + !

                                    Planning an Event for  Google+ Users!

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is staying warm, Unless your on the west coast "cough Derrel Cough". lol. Anyways, I was thinking about doing an event on Google + and would love some feed back. 

I been working hard trying to get my foot in the door, and I thought to myself, "How cool would it be to do a give away so some can see my work?". 

So.. I was thinking to run a give away to 3 lucky winners of a 5x7 photography print. 

So, My question is, How many of you would be interested? I would love to see numbers before going ahead and creating the Event. 



If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to ask :) 

The winners will receive a 5x7 in a Black cardboard easel frame too that can very easily be removed if they wish to frame with a different frame of course.

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! 



Browse other gifts from Zazzle.





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!
