When your Happy and You Know it!
One of the things that make me super happy and exciting is being able to have my camera out and capture not just memories but pieces of are... my camera is my paint brush and the world becomes my canvas... I like to sit back and just see what I can capture... especially when I’m with a group.
There so much beauty unfolding and I just want to be able to paint the story with my photographs... #lifeinfullbloom

One Day it Will All Be History
in Photography, Lifestyle
As I'm going through my old picture files, needing to clean off my hard drives and images captured over the last few years it brings back those memories of the day. Just like that it's history.
History of that day
History of that time period
History of that Moment!
Now I'm looking to delete what is no longer needed so that I can make room for the new.
We are History!
Enjoy each day of the Present.
Introduction 2022- Just a little about me!
I am a mother of two young men on 21 and the other 14! This is the best shot I could get during a brief birthday session… how about they approved this image to be posted on social media…. 🤔
Both of these guys have been my subjects since picking up the camera many years ago… the flash has been in their face since they were little guys…
they have also served as my backup photographers.. they are totally over me photographing them and nowadays I have to beg and plead to get an image… 😜

Our Photography Journal : Day 2:
Did someone say photography??!!!
We are telling our story of how we entered in this photography journey and how things began for us …
So as I was saying we picked up our camera in 2006 and we’ve haven’t put it down since… our camera has connected us with so many people places & things it’s amazing how the decision to follow your heart and decide to go for it how life changes for you!
When I first got laid off my job in early 2006 I cashed out my 401k and invested in backdrop and lighting equipment and was looking for anyone who’s interested in taking pictures with my muslin backdrop and lights. Fast forward later that same year when I got my professional grade Camera oh boy it was on and popping this time I’m looking for more people to take pictures with my backdrop lights and stuff.
Take a chance.
Folks really will take a chance with you and if your good they will tell someone else. Just like that I had a business right in the living room of my apartment capturing 2 and 3 hour sessions for $25 why so cheap… because I was an amateur looking to keep practicing to get better with my work.

Meet the Parents
in Personal, Photography
On this day February 7, 2000 my father made his exit from the planet. Thinking back over my life and my fondness of photography and the journey of capturing the world through the eyes of my lens came very natural to me seeing that all of our lives my parents always kept a camera and photograph candid moments all through our childhood and beyond. We even schedule family photo sessions at the nearest photo studio for the professional photographs. As a teenager into adulthood I did the same thing always having a camera near to capture candid moments of our surroundings and photographing classmates at school! So today as I reflect on my dad and all the life lessons he brought myself and siblings.I'm thankful that he left us fond memories and images that told a tale of time in our personal history. Today I honor you dad and I thank you for the life lesson you taught me!
Now many moons later I find myself as a photographer capturing memories not only for myself and family moments I’m now able to provide timeless memories for host of families that I’m given the pleasure to meet throughout the years. So thankful for my parents who with unspoken words instilled in us the importance of capturing personal histories of people through images. An image can truly be worth a thousand words.
In Loving Memory of my Dad! -

About A Week Ago!
Last week we were basking in beautiful weather like it was springtime right in the middle of January! (We are located in Atlanta) Nervously preparing myself for a photo session.. overthinking the process ( information we tell our clients not to do) fumbling through the closet trying to find just the right outfit(s) to wear. Looking around to grab the right props to incorporate in the shoot...in that minute I was overloading with too many ideas and anxiety as time was coming closer to rushing out the door... calling the photographer and pushing our scheduled time back grabbing my son... (my behind the scenes photographer) and running out the door making one stop by the store to pickup balloons. So upon arrival photographer /artist Jayce the Artist was just so pleasant laid back... as shy as I am she helped me to be comfortable and I was able to relax and tell about my journey in this photography and just like that magic happen. Pure authentic natural photographs were captured. Thank you Jayce for your patience craft and your ability to capture me in a way that brought so much joy when images were received. Wow E Wow this just happened about a week ago!

This past weekend I experienced what I hope that my clients experience when they received their link of images. I was all smiles to open up my images captured by Jayce the photographer! I’ve been a fan of her work as I watch how the art unveils itself in the images that she post on her social media platforms! She captured me in the way that I pray comes off to those who I've encounter beautiful colorful artsy and fun! Thank you Jayce for the opportunity to capture the true essence of who I am in the form of your art and images! I’m beyond excited!!! What a great way to start of my anniversary of my birth!!!
