Updates

Lots has changed for me lately when it comes to my photography. Something dawned on me about last week and the way I function and do business has changed a bit and already I'm seeing changes and even had contact and/or booked a shoot or two. 

So that always brings some sort of happiness! :) I've also finished my postcards, flyers and business cards. By next week hopefully I'll start to put them around town a bit! 

Also did I mention you can also find me on theknot.com


Also officially Blue Firefly Studio as seen on Facebook!

Product shots

So I was given the task of providing samples for a client. They wanted fitness related products. I built a homemade light box and this is what I came up with-

This is actually my snack for tomorrow.

My daily vitamins!
Some sunscreen I bought a long while ago.

My green onion chicken on rice with baked veggies.

The lock that I love from India! (the link it has to fitness is that its the lock I use when I go to the gym!) :)
