As many of you know I have been playing Carmen Sandiego the last two weeks and have been away from home. Although for good reason, I have been a tad bit homesick… so today, or yesterday–depending on when you read this, my cousins Amanda & Cristina came to see me off back to Seattle and […]

I love my cousin… and I love it even more that at the ABSOLUTE spur of the moment she let me wake her up at 730a this morning and style her, primp her, make up her and photograph her.. just to put my lessons to work here in Tacoma before I head out for a […]
This weekend I had the opportunity to spend time with Kacey Luvi; my friend; my kindred spirit and I am ABSOLUTELY sure over time one of my closest and dearest friends… I mean, she’s already in my favorites in my phone and on speed dial. I have never met someone who matched my spirit so […]

I am gonna keep this post short and sweet because that’s what my heart is telling me… BUT before I end I must say that Sherae is one of the most incredible God woman that I have met in 2009, which is why I think it was fitting for God to bring her into my […]
2009 has been a year for me….. a year, a year, a year. You know how you can think back over your life and reflect on the years and remember what happened?? For example, in 2000 I graduated high school, got my first job, went to college and had my first exposure to creamy crack (relaxer), in 2002 […]

Time flew by so fast because we were laughin and cracking jokes so hard. Kitty and I met at our church’s women conference this year called “Celebrate” (http://www.wendytreat.com/) She was […]
What happens when the thing you never thought would happen does? What happens when you unexpectedly get sick? What happens when someone you love falls ill or even worse dies? What happens when a natural disaster hits and destroys everything you've worked so hard to build? What happens when you become ill or paralyzed and are unable to run your business? What happens when you find yourself in a global pandemic and you're unable to work for months at a time? What are you going to do?
When we first started shooting, we couldn't afford many of the opportunities and workshops that were available for newbie photographers to learn and grow, so we really utilized the free communities online and locally to building relationships and to learn the trade. It was those years that shaped who we are as people in this industry and have helped us to value the journey.
