Dear May 2022,

Thank you for starting the month off with a bang! That set the tone as we traveled through the days and weeks of the month. Meeting my family down in Hollywood Florida as we shared moments on the beach , great moments at dinner and a nice ride over to the city of Miami! The sunshine palm trees and the beautiful water was just what the doctor ordered. During our time I enjoyed and took in each of the days we were there.

Returning back home the next day we had a very quiet and beautiful Mother’s Day!

As the days progressed we were blessed to capture images for a beautiful ribbon cutting ceremony for Georgia Stand up! Spending the day as personal paparazzi for the CEO of the organization it was wonderful to see her interact with the people of the community and all the dignitaries they came out for the event.

Moving forward we starting training for a contract work at home position we secured prior to going to Florida. Just that fast I was happy to be assisting another small business by using my customer service talents.

We also introduce our network with our services that we store offering which is social media management and virtual assistance services. We know that small companies can use an extra pair of hands and we are happy and excited to offer ours. Click here to learn more!

End of the 8th grade. My son last year in middle and the school year is ending. We stirred up allot of excitement preparing for the 8th grade dance as well as the end if the year activities. They even hosted a ceremony / graduation to prepare them and celebrate the end of middle school!

Congratulations to all the 8th graders everywhere!

60th birthday celebrations we captured for our clients! It’s always a pleasure to photograph memorable memories for our clients. The food the folks the fun!

We also was able to capture another ribbon cutting ceremony for Overture Powers Ferry A 55-plus apartment community.

How about saying so long to my sister as she traveled back to Ohio after being here in Georgia for the last couple of months.

Graduation Graduation it was wonderful seeing kids that I’ve watched grow up to walk across the stage and graduate high school! We’ve sent out well wishes galore for all the accomplishments that we’ve been able to witness!

Congratulations to all the 2022 Graduates!!!!! Well done!!!

Intimate gathering with friends!

Thank you to my friend Kim and her family for inviting us to a intimate backyard BBQ over the Memorial Day weekend. We couldn’t have had a better ending to a beautiful and active month! Quiet Peaceful by the water with delicious food!!!

When Life Gives you that Moment

“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.

Life’s a Beach

One of my favorite places to visit is the beach. Last week we had the pleasure of visiting a friend who recently moved to Hollywood, Florida. She was thrilled to let us know that right across the street from her apartment was the beach. When she invited us down for a visit we were ecstatic to accept the invitation.

Who else’s loves the beach as much as I do. Comment below

“I get crickets.... “

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

The after party!

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!

Reflections of April 2022!

Thank you what a blessed month.

April started off with assisting with birthday celebration for Cori (My friend Vanessa’s daughter) which we had a great time helping out with all the details for this art show birthday party.

From that we sprung right into the great fast of Ramadan. 

We were able to push the reset button by participating in the fast. Daily prayer calls in the Ramadan Prayer line no food and drink from sun up to sun down and the reading of The Holy Quran. 

We also have been participating in the 100 day dream challenge. Our challenge for the next 100 days is to blog everyday to stay consistent with creating content and using our words to inspire.

We’ve been able to maintain our social media posts of inspiration on our Instagram & Facebook
