Etsy Product Photography - whichgoose



I'm so excited! I was very flattered that Ms. Emily, the fabulous creator & designer of  Whichgoose chose ME to do a product photography session. What is Whichgoose, you ask? It's a shop with the most gorgeous vintage inspired hair accessories! Her products are designed for woman but there are designs that would be great for a little princess!
I was honored to do the product photography session for Emily. It was a fun day of makeup artistry, hair styling and photography. A special thank you to all who assisted with the product session you made it a success. Here is a sneak peak of what you'll be seeing and you can see more on  Whichgoose.

tell us a little bit about you
I'm 28 and I left my day job as a graphic designer in January of this year to create hair accessories on Etsy full-time.

how long have you been making hair accessories?
Since 2008.

and when your not designing?
I'm sleeping! But I do like to get out and go to thrift shops and antique malls looking for new ideas and supplies. Also, I've got a terrific boyfriend that takes me out to dinner sometimes :) 

your style?
I guess it's natural ... with twists of vintage flair ... hints of fairy tales and lore.

hopes for the future? (for business and life)
I'd like to have my own *separate from the house* studio --- maybe a shipping assistant -- but really, things are great just as they are now. I'd love to be able to continue doing what I love for a living!

Okinawa Body Art Maternity - before



Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were here an hour I would die for you
This is the miracle of a Mother's LOVE

Daily Snaps - expression


Art is not in some far-off place.
A work of Art is the expression of man's 
whole personality, sensibility and ability.
- Shinichi Suzuki




Daily Snaps - "Beautiful tone, Beautiful heart"

I was blessed today to have the opportunity to collaborate with some very talented Artist on Okinawa. I admire theses ladies not only for their talent but for their beautiful hearts. Thank you Kim, Rosa and Wendy for sharing your gift of talent.

I started this daily snap a few times trying to contiplate what I wanted to say today. It's been a long day. As some of you already know I dislike writing but I love looking for poems to go with the photographs. As I was looking for a poem to go with this post when I came across a quote by Shinchi  Suzuki. I thought it was very appropriate for how I am feeling. I'm sure this doesn't only happen to artist but anyone that is passionate about what they are doing may relate. During the process of creating a drawing or photograph, I have this sense that I have left  a part of myself in that work. That the work not only reflects my abilities but my whole personality and sensibility. I hope that you enjoy the work that I leave a little bit of me in for your to enjoy!!  

Thank you for sitting a spell with me today.
I appreciate your support and do cherish the time you take out of your evening to join me.

Have a wonderful weekend I am going to go spend sometime with my family.
Many blessings to you and yours!!
