As you know, I’ll be teaching at The Makerie once again next Spring (Yay!), so I am very excited to announce that Old Glory Antiques and their adorable new boutique Prince Street Dry Goods will be generously offering one full Makerie package (excluding travel costs) for the 2012 event! Starting on January 2nd, we are inviting nominations for a very special someone who would embrace the spirit of the Makerie.

Do you know someone who is deserving of a creative weekend away, but maybe is unable to make the financial commitment at this time? Maybe that someone is YOU! Look at all the amazing teachers and classes lined up ::: I’ll be teaching two workshops “Your life in pictures” and “Shoot your Craft“.

So head over to The Makerie website right now to find out all the deets! I would love for you or someone you love to win :)

And for those of you who would like to give the magic of The Makerie for Christmas, there are some sweet giftie certificates available!

Love,

I’m really excited to share my latest creative adventure with you!

Over the last few months I worked very closely with Whitney from Bel Kai designs to create a signature necklace for the Shutter Sisters “Capture Collection”. I must say that it’s been a thrilling experience to see this little lotus I shot in Bali years ago, take a new life and become a talisman of sorts. The lotus has been a long time favorite symbol of mine representing possibility (you can see that reflected on my website design!). So it is really special for me to be diversifying my business and using my photography to pass that message forward. I’m just so captivated by the beauty of this flower and how it emerges from the muddy waters, unfolding every morning, petal by petal, till full-bloom. Such a divine process! The lotus helps me in meditation by calming my “monkey mind”, and it also inspires me to keep reaching for the light when things look murky. Not a bad omen to have in this tough financial times, right?  If you ask me, “Possibility” is the perfect gift to demonstrate your love for photography and encourage yourself or someone you love in the pursuit of all creative dreams.

So head over to the Shutter Sisters site today for  a chance to win a necklace giveaway. Or if you can’t wait, go straight to Bel Kai and get yours!

And if I may ask, “How do you diversify your business? In which ways are you showcasing your photography?”

ps: love goes to my inspiring friend Thea, who’s been making beautiful photography necklaces for as long as I can remember.
