Photography Bizzzz

It's funny how your life can take a total 360 in 1 day! And what seems like something horrible is actually an incredible opportunity for something better.

With the New year- lucky 13 comes a new Journey! 

I embarked on a long awaited journey into starting my own Photography Business. I went to college for my BA in photography.. and I guess I just needed a 2 year break to realize that I was silly to not do what I am meant to do, what I love, a job that fulfills me.

WEDDING + ENGAGEMENT // BOUDOIR // BABY AND MATERNITY 

point being....

Blog overload

BLOG OVERLOAD!

Apparently I am pretty bad at updating this blog. Could be cause I have 5 other blogs!

As of lately... I am not at Diablo Media anymore. I am officially starting my own Wedding Photography business. A long awaited and much anticipated business venture that has come into fruition at the perfect time!

I went to school for my BA in photography and after graduating I needed a break from Photography and went into a 8-5 business cubical job. After 2 years of that.. I was ready to rip my hair out, and realized the exact reason why I went to school for an artisitic degree ( to stay far far away from a cubicle job).

A Steamboat Engagement

You Are Here

Just a helpful reminder... YOU ARE HERE... Wherever you are they you are, so be present, be there completely,  take in the whole experience.

Year. You. Were. Born. Wine.

So about a year or so ago I came up with this great idea (or atleast I think its pretty great!) for a gift idea to give your children on special occasions.

So CHECK IT! 

Either before or after.. doesn't really matter.. your baby is born, go out and buy 3+ bottles of wine. Make sure that the year the wine is made is the current year (IE: The year your baby is born). I believe that RED tends to be better suited for this than WHITE. Buts its up to you.

Hold on to these wine bottles and give them to your children as a gift until....

1. Your childs TWENTY FIRST Birthday

2. GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE

3. THEIR WEDDING DAY <3

Not only does it become a special gift to give to your child but it also has become a very NICE bottle of wine.. 20+ years old!

How To: Keep your homemade cookies soft

How to Keep Baked Goods Soft

When I was young we ALWAYS had homemade chocolate chip cookies in the house and I learned early on how to make killer chocolate chip cookies! My favorite recipe is on the back of the Nestle Toll House chocolate chips :  http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/Original-NESTL%C3%89-TOLL-HOUSE-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/detail.aspx

When you bake cookies or brownies they always seem to stay fresh and soft for the first few days... but then quickly they turn hard (Wink.. Someone didn't close the lid all the way lol) and your hard work gets tossed in the trash.
***So to avoid that... My mother always used to place a slice of bread (the butt end works just fine) in the container with the baked goods. The piece of bread acts like a sponge and sucks up all the moisture that gets in the container and makes the bread hard and not your cookies! Depending on how long it takes to eat your goodies :) you may want to replace the piece of bread with a new one once the first gets hard and moldy.

So now every time you make some delicious treats, remember to add a slice of a bread!

THIS ALSO WORKS FOR YOUR BROWN SUGAR BAG TO AVOID HARD CLUMPING!
