Photos are more than moments to me, they are memories. A snapshot and a timestamp of life in that moment. I started discovering a love of photography shortly after my son was born when I decided it was important to capture every roll, every wrinkle, and each stage of development and his curly hair grew and grew.

Our little bakery all started after I’d watched too many episodes of Ace of Cakes, which made me want to try my hand at decorating cakes. I loved to bake from a young age, and adding the design aspect was intriguing to me. I started dabbling in fondant designs in college, and have been learning new techniques ever since. Read more>>

I’m from a very small town in southern Ohio where there was no opportunity to see the kind of professional programming that Bass Hall provides. While I was involved in a small community theater as well as high school theater productions, a career as a performing arts administrator was not even on my radar. Read more>>

About three years ago, I decided that I wanted to launch my blog. I spent a few days building my site and had my sister shoot a couple of looks. I launched and didn’t tell anyone. Half of me hoped that it would become an overnight success, and the other half hoped nobody would find it! I shut it down 24 hours later as I was afraid I wouldn’t succeed. Read more>>

My start was unique in that I was given seemingly impossible vision in prayer. I wasn’t someone who just knew they were destined to make jewelry. The gift was there, like the seed waiting to be cultivated, yet it took 30 years and prayerful patience for this vision to manifest clearly into my present world. Read more>>

I am a children’s photographer, mom, wife, volunteer, and just recently became a foster mom after receiving our first placement in January. Naturally family photography is where I love to capture the moments between a family dynamic but sometimes it’s just the kids! Read more>>

There is so much anger, hate, discouragement and general negativity in our world today. So many people are hurting and living short of their potential, lost in a sea of hopelessness. There are so many influences that bring us down daily with almost nothing to pick us back up. This was the problem I desired to fix. Read more>>

In 2012, my first literary agent sold my first book to a small publishing house. While I had a great experience with them, my agent soon quit and the former owner of my publisher sold to a larger publishing entity.

My love affair with embroidery (and flowers) began when I was a little girl. The summers of my youth were spent digging in the dirt, working at a local flower shop and stitching away. My first embroidery piece was a cross stitch pattern featuring colorful barn animals. 30+ years later and I still have that piece hanging in my house today. Read more>>

I am passionate about connecting people with causes – to a greater good – whether its a nonprofit organization, a conscientious company, a thoughtful talent, or a movement making the world a better place. When you are able to connect something good happening in the world to receptive and responsive communities, more good ultimately spills out into the world. It’s infectious! Read more>>

I realized I was an artist before I had made any art at all. I was attending Texas Christian University to become a Kindergarten teacher when I abruptly made the decision to stop going to school and make art. I didn’t know how I was going to do it, or what I wanted to make but I knew I was being dishonest with myself going to school and I was very aware of the fact that I simply wanted to create things.

Unfortunately those hopes and dreams were shattered when I suffered a placenta abruption and our son, Max was stillborn. Read more>>
