Today my post is a little off normal thread and more thoughtful as I spend some time thinking about my art and what keeps me motivated. Probably something artists should muse on, if only to themselves, more often. But this particular incident was afforded to me by a friend and fellow artist, Frank Juarez.

Happy holidays to all my clients and readers. I’m preparing to head to the upper penninsula of Michigan to spend this Christmas with my family. MyRead More →

I’m so excited to share some of the elements of my new packaging this week! It’s a great initiative in continuing to build my branding, and a wonderful way to show my clients how much I appreciate their choice to book with my studio. This sample is packaging for digital negative or video DVD delivery. I purchased many of the elements of the packaging in bulk, and hand-assemble each piece. Pretty proud of my bow tying skills! Check out that perfectly tied polka-dot bow. I also started a referral program for my clients. Most of my new business comes from referrals from past clients, and IRead More →
