Jeanelle: Headshot Session

I was so excited to take some headshots for this beautiful lady!!! I really love how they turned out. We had so much fun making them together and I could't be happier with the finished product! It was soooooo cold and windy (as you can probably tell! XD) but she was such a trooper. I hope y'all enjoy the photos!!!

Cast and Characters #1: Introducing Theodore Howard

Hey Y'all!

Over the next few posts I'm going to introduce you to some of my characters from my WIP, Holly. I'm starting with Theodore, one of my two main characters. Some of it is written from his point of view and I'm loving his voice!!!

Character Blurb

Theodore is a penniless pianist who wouldn't have it any other way. Being invisible suits him; he loves to be alone with his thoughts and his music. He sees the world very differently than most people because he has a gift that no one else can understand. At least, that is what he thought.

He is proved wrong when he meets Holly, a girl who soon becomes his fast friend and is destined to change his life forever. Thrown onto a path of success and fame, Theodore struggles with the visibility of the situation. With so many eyes on him, someone is bound to discover his secret and resurface the past that he has been working so hard to forget.

Fun Facts!

• He is often mildly sarcastic.
• He hates cats and glitter.
• He loves doing impersonations (and he's pretty good at them!)
• He is 5' 6" tall.

And A Little Excerpt...

"It sure was swell running through the streets in the freezing morning air. Everyone stared like they had seen a madman rush past. I’ll bet they never guessed they actually had. I must be mad if I would condemn myself to this torture. By the time I reached the theater my hair was back to its usual state. Messy. And like the chucklehead I know I am I had forgotten my hat."

So what do you think?

Is Theodore a character you would like to read about?

Announcement: New WIP!

Hey Y'all!
I'm back today to introduce you to my WIP for December! I'm writing this novella while I take a break before editing "Vengeance is Mine." I'm shifting gears pretty drastically... it is still historical fiction, but this time it is set in 1946 and centered around the stage.

Update and a Portrait Session

Hey there!
As you have probably guessed after my last post, there have been many things keeping me from blogging lately. (Such as #life and #nanowrimocraziness) We've had friends from out of state come this month and it has been wild but wonderful.*

Hard Times

For those of you that don't know, my Dad was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in late June. It came as a shock, he has never smoked and has always seemed in good health. Over the last month things have changed a lot for my family and myself. 

Senior Session: Fairy Princess

Hey Friends!
I am SUPER excited to share this senior session with you! This gorgeous girl was a joy to work with. My absolute favorite part about these photos is that they reflect her personal style. (By the way, she is one stylish girl!)

Here's Why

I watched the rain trickle down the window in dancing streams. It was a typical November day and we were on our way to Georgia for Thanksgiving. I looked back down at the stack of lined paper in my lap and the few words written there, the ink still drying. I was eleven years old and for the first time I realized how much I loved stories. I knew then that I had a story to tell and that someday and somehow I would share it with other people.
