I don’t enjoy the business end of photography. I am a firm believe in treating people well and my business lives & dies by the hope that karma will treat me well in return. (or so I tell myself so I don’t have to do any of that pesky stuff) ;) What that means is that I don’t market, I don’t advertise and I don’t promote myself unsolicited. I also don’t have business cards. I think it’s been about 3 years since I ordered anything that resembled one ;) That being said a couple of my (very talented & sweet) friends have opened studios recently and asked that I give them some of those silly old things soooo… what the heck right? I really do enjoy playing & designing stuff like that so I was secretely kinda glad that I got ever-so-nicely pushed to just do it! Still no business cards but I am the proud owner of postcards now…
Painting has taken over our home. I adore that I have two little insanely creative beings filling our lives with these works of art (although I could do without the paint on the couch & duvet… eh um). It makes me smile from ear to ear that our home is filled with it. It just seemed appropriate that the splatters should make their way to my brand :)
I also had an extra outfit that we didn’t get to shoot in St. Mary’s from ZozoBugBaby. So what is a girl to do but grab an (insanely adorable) model and head outside…
