Virginia Adventure

It has been far too long since I've posted...blogging is much harder than I thought :P
I have spent the past 7 weeks in Richmond, VA and it has been an amazing experience! I was lucky enough to have friends and family who were extremely supportive of me and even came out to visit me! While my littlest sis was here we decided to take some pictures to see if she could use them as senior pics. Luckily they turned out pretty well, but I'll let you be the judge of that!

She is just too gorgeous for words!

All grown up!

We had so much fun with these and I cannot wait to get home to take more! I am by NO means a professional but it is so fun to play around. I think the best part of photography is helping someone to see their true beauty, inside and out, and having the evidence to prove it :)

Grandparents 50th

In August my Mom's parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with a party! It was a great opportunity to break out our new camera and get some shots of my awesome cousins and family!

Here are some of my favs:

The boys were way into being models.

 LOVE the jumping pics!

 What it's all about!!!

Past Beadwork

So, I'm new to the whole blogging world but I want to be able to keep record of the jewelry I create and thought this would be appropriate. I gather my inspiration from so many things that I find the idea of chronicling my work as interesting, to see where my thoughts were at the time I created something. 


I don't make jewelry as a means for profit and in fact love to just do it for fun. I am always open to making a piece for someone if they have an idea in mind (or a particular outfit to go with), and provide the beads, no labor cost!


Here are some pictures of jewelry I have created in the past year:
