Walk through Wynwood Walls

in , , , ,

We recently visited Miami, Florida during our time there we visited the very colorful Wynwood Walls area! This area is located just a few minutes down the street from downtown Miami. We explored this area by foot and enjoyed the art that is painted all over the buildings in the area. My son and I stopped at so many different places and took photos and videos.

Here are a few spots we stop along the way to capture fun images. We initially was going to visit the Museum of graffiti. Instead we decided to just walk around the streets of the area and enjoy the art on the walls street signs and the ground.

I was able to get my son to pose in a photo with me! That’s always exciting.

As we were finishing up our walk we did come across The Art of Hip Hop Museum and so we decided to stop in and pay a visit. We will post another blog for that visit.

in , , , ,

One day it will all be History!
Your pictures you take today will will provide you with a visual story to tell. Up and Down my timeline on Social media I'm seeing all the graduates from pre- School to College and its such a beautiful site to see.
Congratulations to all the Graduates during this season! Best wishes for a successful & productive future! May all your goals and visions come to life!

During this time lots of images are being capture to celebrate and remember this moment in time.

While we are caught up in the moment and in some cases the memory will be just a post on social media. I'm going to list a few ways that you can take the digital images you are creating by phone or photo shoot images and give a few ideas on how to preserve the memories.

  1. Print out the images from a photo lab

  2. Create a photo Album ( Shutterfly, Walgreens, Sam's Club)

  3. Create a Website or Blog to remember the time (Blogger, WordPress)

  4. Create a memory box (store all items that you would like to save)

  5. Create a Scrap Book (This is a fun keepsake)

What are some other ideas that you have to preserve your memories of a moment. Make sure to leave a comment below

The Battle

**Note to Self**

The Battle: Fighting every day to spring in new thoughts and ideas but those old behavior patterns come sneaking back when you least expect it. Thank God for awareness. We are going to keep recognizing those thoughts that keep us in a down place and we are going to recognize the power within to change our thoughts and produce a whole new reality!

When Life Gives you that Moment

in , , ,

“When Life gives you that moment… take a picture” Lately I’ve been going through plenty of image from photo sessions I’ve captured over the years. It brings back really fond memories. The places and people we have captured. It really keeps you locked into the moment. I’ve even been going through photos from our family albums and looking at moments that have gone passed. Some images I just stare off and remember a time others which are classic moments before I was born and I try to imagine the time period and what life was like for members of my family. It is with those special images that is a reminder take a picture. Capture a moment. I believe the future generations will be glad you did.

“I get crickets.... “

in , , ,

Over the years being on a variety of social media platforms and starting a blog, it's never been a lot of followers but we've always work to post and stay consistent with our posting.

Consistency creates confidence... yes there are many times you can post something and it seems like no one listening at all but believe you me folks that are interested in your product or service will come around!!! Just be consistent!  True story... I started a blog in 2008 and I really had no idea what I was doing, but I would still just post about things that I was working on fast forward the year was 2011 and I begin to get orders from custom party supplies that I created... The success of the collection went on for a few years after... why... I was consistent and my content became top of google search ... not because I was a SEO guru ... because I was consistent even when it seem I was talking to myself.

Fast forward to May 2022! I'm apart of a 100 day consistency challenge. My challenge is to write a blog post everyday for 100 days! So far so good! We've been going strong! Just a few days we are at the halfway point 50 days of posting everyday! #consistency

Being a special event photographer for a number of years, a few things I’ve learned about it is this after everything is said and done there is the after party. So we put a few words together to describe the importance of capturing special memories from milestone moments in life.

When everything is over 

The cake has been cut 

The food has been eaten 

The special guest have spoken 

The music has been played 

The band has dismantled 

The room is being cleaned up 

You gathered your belongings to head out the door… what is left from an exciting memorable evening of social connection laughter and fun will be the images capture of a night that has now became an instant memory and tomorrow you can live to tell the story of what took place and the beauty of telling the story you can back it up with an image of what took place on this magical night!

My Experience with Special Events Photography

in , , , ,

When I first began in photography and I purchased my 1st DSLR Camera I was super excited to be able to create beautiful imagery with this new over $500 purchase. Now that I have this big professional camera I’m in the Big League now!

When I began taking pictures I was capturing a lot of photo sessions mainly families and friends that needed updated images. The event wasn’t too long after doing that that I landed a job capturing a special event. When I did it was pretty fun, I didn’t worry about a lot of lighting challenges and my subjects didn’t have to be placed in front of a backdrop I was just able to go around and capture what I thought were meaningful images of an event. Before too long I was booking lots of events and became a go-to photographer for all things special events.

As I began to hone in on the skill I had in mind that I wanted to have magazine-worthy images. Over the years we have had features in magazines and many copyright release forms have been signed by corporate entities to use our images for different projects as they occurred.

Today you can book us for your next special event we would be delighted to create memorable images for you!

Challenge

in ,

For the second week in a row I made the decision to walk Stone Mountain.

Stone Mountain is a mountain located in Stone Mountain Georgia is a park with many things to do such as walking trails nature preserves and many other family activities.

The walk Trail around the mountain is 5 miles.

The 5 miles is a extra push for me considering I do 30 min walks daily totaling a little less than 2 miles.

The challenge with the 5 mikes outside the distance is on the course of the trail you have the path where you going up on an incline which is the most challenging part for me.



So what I learned is the real challenge comes at the 3rd mile marker ( thanks to my Apple Watch that tracks the miles)

The third mike is where the heavy breathing comes in along with the hands on the hip and The constant blurting out of OMG Lord Help Me 😊

This time around I recognized the challenges and decided to shift my mindset on the focus of what is difficult to how this walk is strengthening my heart my calf’s and thighs, by me shifting my thoughts it made the walk today much easier and smoother giving me more of a reason to keep going.

So today I’m excited that I was able to challenge myself and to win!

Yay! To keeping it moving even at my own pace!

This message is to encourage anyone. Keep Going. Go at your own pace!
