We are telling our story of how we entered into this photography journey and how things began for us……Our Story!

The Year :2009Brandi Starr &Social Media Networking

2009 this was the year we joined a variety of social media platforms

Facebook

Twitter

I was a very active user on Twitter out there talking and chatting it up on the internet streets.

One person in particular I was having conversation with was Brandi Starr At that time was a wedding/ special Event planner

We connected and would chat online. This particular year her Birthday came up and she decided instead of throwing herself a party she would donate her time and celebrate her birthday with the children of Our House ( an organization that helps homeless families)

She reached out to me to see if I would be willing to come capture images of the day. I was thrilled to be apart of this great event. To go one step further I told Brandi I would donate some of my customize décor to bring along.

The event turned out great. The staff the children were very pleased with the celebration and I was thankful to be apart. After that event Brandi later reached out to me to be the photographer for another event this time is was paid gig from one of her corporate clients. I was thrilled and excited that she ask me to be the photographer. (yay me!!!)

Now this is when I had to step my game up....

She ask me to send over my contract so we can get things squared away…..
