We are telling our story of how we entered into this photography journey and how things began for us……

Our Story!

The Year : 2009

Certified Event Planner

This particular year we had added celebration decorations to what we do and open a Etsy shop and we are now selling the things we make. Always wanting to learn more after searching through Craigslist I came across an event training certificate class this was a perfect opportunity to enhance my knowledge and skill and learn more of this party stuff that I’m doing Signed up attended them class and walked away with a wealth of knowledge

The instructor Helena Paschal was great very knowledgeable about everything regarding events planning marketing and how to get paid what I learned in class was more than me making cupcake toppers ,banners for parties and making things look cute It would be 2years later before I saw Helena again and this time is was for a grand opening of her business initially when I signed up I didn’t know whose event it was I just knew from the description of the event it would be fabulous and it did not disappoint.

When I saw my instructor Helena I was at awww and I ask did she remember me and she said to me nice and graceful “I never forget my students” After the re acquaintance I ask if it was alright to take a few pictures at the event. It was at that time my Instructor learned of my photography business. It would be several other events I attended of hers and would share my images that she gave me the opportunity of hiring me for many of her events.

Our services were able to assist in building portfolio images capturing headshots for her and other students of her event certification classes and capturing special events. We went on to be published in online publications and more
