Been running around all evening getting some last minute framing done. Got off work later than I wanted to, had to deal with rush hour and make it to two frame shops before 7pm. I was able to make it all happen but I was wiped out of energy big time. Since I’ve been home, […]

Is it déjà vu? “CONGRATULATIONS!

I met Megan Pouncy thanks to a great referral from friend & client Amber Cabral a few months ago. When Megan & I initially talked, she shared her needs for headshots as part of a October 2011 launch for her brand new blog titled Vino Dream geared toward Detroit area wine enthusiast such as her self.

Telling you that I’m excited about winning a contract with the [Detroit] Parade Company for their fall events would be an understatement! When I submitted my RFQ, I was nervous as ever! Last week, my nervousness was set aside when I was contacted with the offer. Up next is the Parade Preview Party, The Hob […]

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week is officially over & I survived the madness for five days…. This season for me was the best of the three that I have attended for one major reason & that is because I refused to let anyone or anything stress me out. This means that I got into no arguments […]
