Remembering Yesterday-Footsteps on My Heart Dinner Party

#TBT2012 

Footsteps all my heart and intimate dinner party with friends it all came about during a visit to Tierra Destiny's consignment shop. We were finishing up our visit and  as I was leaving she was telling me that she would love to do something special for her closest friends. Being passionate about creating special events and decor she and I begin throwing out some ideas and just like that we confirm an event just a few shorts months away. The title of the event came directly from the conversation as Tierra was telling me of these close friends that created footsteps on her heart! Eureka!!!! That is it!!! That is the title of the event.. and everything else will represent that!!! Footsteps on my heart, Once the concept of design was developed when then incorporated favorite color palette.This celebration would be like no other because it was truly created from the heart. We decided on a catered  sit down dinner. Tierra secured venue and catering from Aj's Catering Atlanta which in the least did not disappoint! Tierra giving me full rain of planning this event! Layout and design with added touches to make the guest feel special. we chose her favorite color purple with cheetah print with a hint of turquiose blue.

We announce the event in style with customize party invites!   When the day arrives the table was set and a seven course meal was served it was a beautiful celebration of food fellowship and love a few tears were  shed as Tierra explained the reason for the day and took time to write each lady a hand written note explaining how and why they place a footsteps on her heart. 

This celebration to date is one for me to remember due to the heart felt nature of why and how it was created! From time to time we should incorporate small gestures to the people that we love respect and admire and let them know how they placed a footstep on our hearts!

Meet the Parents

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! - 

To You From Me with Love

"Everything in Creation Serves a Purpose" I am thankful to my service to others. Woke up this morning full of gratitude. During a recent training class we had the opportunity to work with students to capture images of their event design work as well as providing them with head shot images that they can utilize for business and personal. Today when I logged on to our social media platforms we were tagged in several post from some of the attendees that were using images they received. Overwhelmed by the love, I found myself just full of gratitude to use my services, creativity and gifts to assist in servicing others. We are truly passionate about the work we do and the service we provide.

Remembering Yesterday -Naimah's 13th birthday party

#TBT 2011
When my niece turned 13 we were trying to come up with a party theme that would fit a new teen... princess and little girlie themes were no longer a go to idea... we now had to think of something creative and fun for the girls.. so after recently attending a paint party and creating a cute red dress... a light went off in my head and we had the theme for my nieces surprise 13th party. We prepared for the party by purchasing the easels canvases paints and brushes ( thank goodness she has a small group of friends) we covered The dining room table with plastic covering and we setup our paint party. The girls were engaged in painting their masterpiece. After the completion of the art we all took a picture with the art pieces and then went on to the Birthday reception. Singing Happy Birthday and opening up gifts this made for a memorable birthday occasion.

Spreading more Love in 2017!

Remembering Yesterday - Milestone Birthday In Vegas

Throwback Thursday – March 2016

Last year my brother decided to celebrate his 40th birthday in Las Vegas! Making a whole big celebration on the west coast a few friends traveled from Ohio to Nevada for a weekend of fun and excitement. With so much to do we made sure to enjoy every minute of our time spent on the trip. To make things a little more special we customize some party decor of his favorite basketball team The Spurs! (He is a die hard Spurs fan) The decoration added just a little special detail to the room. This was a milestone to remember fun times great moments spent with friends… Ahhh…. Can’t wait until the next time!!!
