Take A Pic: It'll last longer!

I love having my hands in many pots. My newest love, for the last couple of years, has been Photography.  I get asked to do a lot of family pictures but never put my shoots in one place.  Finally I have decided to launch my own portfolio! I am a bit nervous to show my work, so be nice. I hope you enjoy.

Little Miss PaperCuts has her first big school production coming up. Of course, I had to be on the committee. Can you guess what I am doing.....PROPS!! How exciting right. I shall have to post some sneak peaks of the progress. They are coming along nicely.

One of the things her school likes to do is set up a display at the school entrance to hype up the production. I was in charge of the design so I had to go big.  The theme of the play is 'Once Upon A Time: With A Twist'. They took several fairytales and mixed them up.  So I had to really think of how to integrate this into a single design. I created a huge 30" cottage to replica Hansel & Gretal and put other fairytales in the windows and around the outside of the house.  How many fairytales do you see?

Everyone once in a while I have a client that not only wants a custom design but for me to come and set it up. How lovely is it come to you child's party and everything is done. Balloons- check! Favors-check! Streamers-check! This awesome party was just that.

I met with Xoie's gorgeous mom, a month before and she gave me her vision. Off and running I went to bring the jungle to her basements. Here are some sneak peeks of the custom designs.
