Announcing...

Announcing: a self portrait photo project. There's a photographer who goes by the name "Lauren Lemon", and she had a photo project a while back where she posted a new self portrait every day for a year straight. Leaving her with 365 photos that I believe she turned into a photo book. So this got me inspired to do something similar. Except, instead of once a day, I will be posting a group of photos from a shoot once a week. I'm not sure if I'll do it for a whole year; but basically until I run out of ideas or no longer have time to. Each shoot will have a completely different theme.

Improving Your Reach by Keeping it Simple & Easy

I was asked by the Glory House of Prayer church to review their site and give input on how I think they can improve. After reviewing their site and how they managed some events, I had a meeting with them to go over what I thought worked and didn't work to their benefit. But when organizing my notes for this meeting, I realized these points would also make a great post to help others improve their businesses and organizations as well.

See, a church, to an extent, is a business, trying to reach an audience who often doesn't already have a huge interest in who you are and what you're offering, just like any other business. No matter what kind of business you're in, you have certain audiences you want to draw in to be interested in what you have to offer. But having a website, social media page, or even having people visit those pages aren't necessarily enough to make them interested in your organization, company, or product.

Valentine's Special

Are you still looking for a gift for that special someone? Don't miss out on our [last minute] Valentine Special. 10% off all services and paintings.

I also decided this year I would offer custom hand-painted Valentine cards. The cards will be painted on front with a custom painting of your choice and artist signature, printed with a custom message of your choice on the inside, and stamped with "A Glimpse of Me" on the bottom of the back side. The inside message can also be done with Chinese ink and ink brush for more custom calligraphy. The cards will be on cardstock and will come with an unsealed envelope. The price of these cards will run $14 for each 4"x5" card and includes shipping (if needed).

Here are a couple samples of custom cards I've done in the past:

Breath of Life Missions

Breath of Life Missions has been a client of mine for a little over a half year or so and it has been a joy doing work for them. To the left here is a flyer I did for a conference they had last year as they were in the beginning stages of their organization.

Toothless the Dragon

Introducing my new little partner: the little bearded dragon named Toothless. Named after my favorite dragon, from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" (and yes, they have very similar personalities). This little cutie became a member of my home shortly after Christmas and has quite the character. You'll probably see plenty more of my little buddy since I'll probably often use Toothless as a test subject for my photography. Here are a few shots for you to enjoy:

Holiday Cards Sent

The Christmas cards I painted and mailed in for the Christmas Card Project that I posted about weeks ago. Hope some of you were able to send some in as well! These were painted with Acrylic paint:
