We are telling our story of how we entered into this photography journey and how things began for us……Our Story!
The Year : 2009
Milestone Dinner Party & AJs Catering aka Anthony James
December 2009
We were booked to capture images of a milestone birthday dinner party. The dinner setup for the guest was all so beautiful I hadn’t seen anything like it. There was a fellow at the table and I ask if I could take his pictures ( not being familiar with any of the guest at the party I thought he was a guest)
After learning he was the caterer I knew this was a person that we definitely wanted to keep up with.

The 40/40 Club Celebration
The year was 2010 and I was totally feeling myself… I had received my event planners certificate the year prior I was shipping party décor nationwide and I was shooting wide range of social events, So when my hair dresser Valencia (Styles By Vee) approached me to assist in planning her husband’s 40th surprise birthday party I was all in. We went over all that I can do.. This what I call The total package, planning, arranging vendors photography and party supplies. So we went to work to put on an event that is still one of the best memories of putting on a great party. Valencia and I spent weeks planning preparing and doing site visits to secure both location and other details (cake and table rentals) We secured Aj’s Catering for the food Hair salon for the venue DJ 6five as the Dj Bliss for the Cake and we took care of the rest.
For the Invitations – We decided to go with a Jay-z reasonable doubt album cover look
We arranged for a impromptu photo shoot at their private home and we capture some images one for the invitations the others to be used as a part of the decorations.
Invitations Sent Party ready… It was ShowTime. We worked feverishly to get everything ready and to open up the doors and let the party people in…. Food Folks Fun… It was a night to remember the Dj kept the music pumping… Aj had an amazing spread of great food… I was manning our open air photo booth which everyone was coming by to take allot of fun pictures. Valencia husband was so surprised and overwhelmed at how his wife had secretly put this thing together with all the thoughts and details
Dj Six 5 kept the dance floor full
Photo Booth fun!!!
It made for a great night a memorable party Most definitely one for the record books.
We were exhausted but it was totally worth it…. Can’t wait to do it again!!!

The year was 2011 and we were on fire... creating and designing custom party collections!
When we were contacting by Andineka and her God mother with the idea to create party decoration for a "Life is a Gift" baby shower using the soft baby colors green and yellow.
We jumped at the chance of creating these supplies and also assisting with the setup of the celebration.
We began with custom invitations (a invitation always sets the tone for an event)
Guest were welcomed as they walked through the door with a custom Life is a Gift Banner
Welcome table was right inside to sign guest book and pick up a game sheet.
Classic baby shower games were played including unscramble the words, word find and ice ice baby!
Aj's Catering set up a beautiful food displayed in which guest enjoyed the delicious delights followed by your choice of vanilla or chocolate cupcakes for desserts.

Jam on it… When we received a call from Aj’s catering asking for some custom signs for an up and coming 80’s party… We were all in…. We just needed a few particulars and then we were ready to assist where ever we could. After getting the information of layout and ideas from client(who is out of the box creative) we awaited the menu and instructions and went to work on the creative ideas that Aj of Aj’s catering had in mind.
The client theme for her son’s 9th Birthday party was a retro 80’s theme as well as introducing her son who has been taking professional dj classes. Once menu was set we went to work on the custom signs that would add theme details to the already grand ideas! Our area was entitled Hamilton Records (like Tower Records) A popcorn station was a client must , so Aj’s catering theme the popcorn bar The King of Pop – Popcorn station which this area had a variety of flavored popcorn then a few other classic/ and kiddie foods were Sloppy Joes, Nachos with all the fixings veggie platter complete with a cabbage patch kid fruit kebabs, chicken tenders and fries. We created T-shirts with a Hamilton Records Logo so that we all could be in tune with the theme of the 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!
