Branding Session Pose Gone Wrong
Throwback Thursday!
We got together with fellow photographer and friend Bryant Andrews (Sky Love Photography) to photography some brand images in studio. We had a list of ideas for the shoot and one in particular we decided to try it was a photo turned upside down on the coach. The photo idea looked super cool in on the inspiration board.
By the the time I decide to flip upside down for the photograph things went all the way wrong. I lost my balance, Bryant didn’t say much but he knew the idea was not that great.
Here’s to say you may have a great idea for an image but not all ideas are great ones. Still try the ideas somethings may work and some may not. You will never know until you try!

The Rise of Social Media & New ways of Building a Brand
Building a Brand 2009
The year was 2009 in this year we begin creating and selling customized party decorations.
As we were developing our party decor business and capturing images of our products and posting online we begin to build a wonderful fanbase that like our images and shared our business with others in their network with this type of organic support we were able to grow sell our business and services with a regular flow of orders.
At the time it was so amazing to develop something put it out on social media and begin to get inquiries and orders.
Who would have known that my love for crafting using construction paper , glue sticks & scissors would become a whole business and we have many years of success.
We will always be thankful for these humble beginning all of the clients that supported us by ordering our items and sharing our work with others for that we are grateful that we have this story to tell.
It's Our Anniversary! Cheers to 16 years

A dream realized one that came through it was a cold winter day in January one day after a major extreme winter weather storm and we were blessed with an appointment with the dream Coach Tiara LaShae Johnson we met we talked and upon leaving the session she assisted me in pulling out some dreams and aspirations. During our session she assisted me in creating deadlines for my goals. Starting with what I plan to do in the next seven days, then on the next 2weeks followed by 30 day deadline and last but not least 3 month goal.
The three month deadline was to host for the second time our Portfolio and Perspective Event Design Workshop this event is created for up-and-coming designers and photographers looking to build a solid portfolio to showcase their talents while getting their professional images of their work from a variety of perspectives.

Ajs Catering Atlanta provided a beautiful spread of delicious bites. Special guest speaker Kara norman provided a Mamosa bar with all the fancy fixin's

Remembering Yesterday-Everybody's Birthday Party
The year was 2010
It is always thrilling to see a smile on a child's face.
At my son's daycare.. (the one he has attended since he was 12 weeks old) We hosted a special celebration for all the children entitled Everybody's Birthday!
Once we were given the go from daycare owner Kim Foster- she allowed us to come in for a day of fun and games with the children.
We had a colorful setup, special treats and best of all we had a visit from Sprinkles the Clown.
She dropped in and played games, did magic trick painted faces and even created fun shaped balloons.
We customized the party with colorful Everybody's Birthday theme decorations & brightly colored balloons.
Sprinkles entertained the children with a few magic tricks and some other delightful fun!
Who doesn't love a fun shaped balloon...
Cool painted Faces!
Delicious treats were enjoyed by all the children! Cupcakes Yum Yum!!!
After all the fun and games the children posed for pictures with Sprinkles!
This day was a special one and the children talked about it for weeks long after!
What a thrill it was to provide such a fun day on just a regular day to celebrate Everybody!!!

Remembering Yesterday-Nasim's 10th WWE Smackdown Pool Party
The year was 2010 and my oldest son was one of the biggest WWE Fans!
John Cena * The Undertaker * Chris Jericho * John Morrison
He was a total Fan! So it was only benefiting that for his 10th birthday celebration we would theme it his favorite thing! WWE! Summer time and Access to the Pool makes for a WWE Smackdown Pool Party! In true mom DYI fashion we planned design created this custom party!
We started off with a Kustom Invitations using the X (roman numeral 10) with a collage of pictures.
We then created custom paper supplies including water bottle wraps, paper banner, cupcake toppers and party circles. We used the party circles to add customization to plain black cups.
Our custom cupcake toppers went on to become a Kustom Shop favorite! We had a steady stream of orders for the personalized WWE toppers!!!
We loved the creativity of this WWE ring cake... and did we mention how delicious it was!
Balloon Centerpieces were set on the designated tables and Signage was placed around the lounge area
Our party favors were these t-shirts we created! This was a fun partying gifts for the guests!
My son was very pleased with his party and had a great time with friends and family
We were so happy to make his 10th birthday a special one for him!

Valentine Memories from the Past
Valentine's Myself and Family Photo Session - Blast from the Past Session Year 2008
So in honor of Valentine's Day we thought we would share our experience of creating memorable photos of my sons. As most parents we like to create memorable experiences for our children and for me being a photographer and a special holiday of sorts comes up why not set up a backdrop grab the kids and create memories... It's sounds like a good idea and it looks like everything will be success, but with a two month old babies.. Images can be so unpredictable. Looking back on this Family Self portrait it makes me laugh seeing that things were not perfect, but it did create a memory and put a smile on my face.
So to all you families, couple's , singles and kids.. Make it a memorable day and do something that will put a smile on your face.
Enjoy your Special day of Love!
Remembering Yesterday -Naimah's 13th birthday party
#TBT 2011
When my niece turned 13 we were trying to come up with a party theme that would fit a new teen... princess and little girlie themes were no longer a go to idea... we now had to think of something creative and fun for the girls.. so after recently attending a paint party and creating a cute red dress... a light went off in my head and we had the theme for my nieces surprise 13th party. We prepared for the party by purchasing the easels canvases paints and brushes ( thank goodness she has a small group of friends) we covered The dining room table with plastic covering and we setup our paint party. The girls were engaged in painting their masterpiece. After the completion of the art we all took a picture with the art pieces and then went on to the Birthday reception. Singing Happy Birthday and opening up gifts this made for a memorable birthday occasion.

This past weekend I experienced what I hope that my clients experience when they received their link of images. I was all smiles to open up my images captured by Jayce the photographer! I’ve been a fan of her work as I watch how the art unveils itself in the images that she post on her social media platforms! She captured me in the way that I pray comes off to those who I've encounter beautiful colorful artsy and fun! Thank you Jayce for the opportunity to capture the true essence of who I am in the form of your art and images! I’m beyond excited!!! What a great way to start of my anniversary of my birth!!!
Happy Birthday to Me!!!
