Hurricane Sandy.

Hey guys, I hope you all are well with Hurricane Sandy that hit last week! The area I live in is fine but the area I went to school by is destroyed. It's so sad seeing everyone's photos of the destruction and what they are all going through up there. It's like a totally different world than down here, here it's like nothing ever happened. It makes me so sad because I have so many memories of those places that are now gone or barely hanging on. Disasters like these really put into perspective what really matters.  From what I've seen so far it seems that so many people are helping to volunteer and donating their time and money to help those in need.  I know of some local photographers up there that are giving free photography sessions to those who lost their memories, or charging for sessions and then donating all the money. It's so nice that everyone is coming together. In trying to help my friends and anyone who lost their homes, everything or power I am donating 100% of what I make in my online store this month. Please check it out for yourself and share. It's a good way to donate money and get something cute :) I added some new jewelry yesterday and took all new product photos. I will be adding more every week so keep checking! You can visit my store here.

Anchors to Ashes update :)

I've been making so many new things lately! Here are just some new pretties that I've added to my shop :)

I'm making new things all the time so don't forget to keep checking back! (Flower headbands also seen in my Self-Portrait and Elyse Posts <3 )

For every Pink Flower Ring sold (see above) I will be donating to the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk so be sure to check them out! They come in three different shades of pink.

Shoot with Elyse.

Next up in my queue of shoots is my gorgeous friend Elyse. We met at Smithville Historical Park a couple of weeks ago to take photos and I couldn't be happier with the shots we got :) Here are some of my absolute favorites-the rest you can see here.

Self Portraits!

I have so many photoshoots and new things to share with you guys! The past two weeks have been insanely busy..I've been busy every single day of the week! Anyway, on this day I got home from work and really really wanted to take photos. My sister wasn't around so I decided to put on some makeup, pretty clothes and take some self portraits. These came out way better than I expected! I am definitely learning how to play with light and what poses look good and what doesn't. Also, my new camera is sooo amazing for taking self portraits! :)

Self Portrait Saturday!

Anchors to Ashes Update!

I made tons of pendants, coasters and bobby pins yesterday! These are just some of the pretties that are in my shop right now. I'm especially in love with the map pendants! There is just something about vintage maps that I love. Check out my shop!

P.S. This is what happens when I take pictures where Parker likes to lay :)
