Today we received a tag on a post of Facebook from one of our recent clients giving us a nice review of the photography service we recently had with them. Last weekend our clients hosted a headshot party to make sure all the members of her team had professional headshots to use on and offline.
So we were so surprised to get such a nice compliment for the service they had receive.
We are always so thankful for the opportunities that are presented to us.
We also received a call from our wedding client bride, who confirmed that she received the electronic transfer of images from her wedding and how she was so pleased with the work.
My Goal is to create and publish one day. When I first got on IG in the early days I didn’t get on to attract followers and build business, I actually joined to showcase images that I’ve captured. I looked at it as a Digital coffee table book and I did that for years. As I would grab favorite images from some of my special event and photo sessions we than went on to caption our images with one word that described the picture.
As time went on and our Instagram account shifted with a different set of goals the desire to publish a Coffee table book is one that we still have in mind. So one day soon you will see images we’ve captured over the years published in our very own Coffee Table Book 🙂
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.
We are telling our story of how we entered into this photography journey and how things began for us……Our Story!

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
To this day my instructor Helena has assisting us in this journey referring our business in her classes providing business coaching support and having our photography work published.
She is currently residing in Houston and hosting a women’s retreat this October 1-3 , 2021
