About

This blog is where my personal and business life intersect. I'm a a multi-passionate creative who teaches people how to create faster roadmaps to abundance in work and life through the doorways of business consulting and reiki teaching. If you'd like a DIY workbook to plan for your own creative living, check out my Pricing Workbook for Creatives. You'll see that I travel the world as often as I can and keep a gratitude journal as a reminder to find strength in my challenges. I was a full-time professional photographer for 15 years, so there are still many cringe-worthy archives of my early work and artistic journey on this 19 year old blog. I've written loads of creative business advice over on the Photolovecat blog, and have started sharing reiki healing stories and healing moments over on the Abundant Sphere blog. If you'd like to learn more about me, here's a TEDx Talk of what my guiding questions have been to help me tune into my natural gifts and purpose. I'm available for workshops, presentations, interviews, and private consultations on creative business topics and for the advancement of arts programs in schools and communities:

I have never said the word FABULOUS so many times in my life as I have in the last three days. Everything about the Flourish Workshop has been absolutely FABULOUS. From the amazing 21C Museum Hotel with its eye candy and interactive art, to the mimosa breaks and gourmet dinners, to the depth and breadth of knowledge shared by our awesome hosting photographers: Angela Anderson, Kitty Maer, Kimberly Reed and lighting expert/cinematographer Gary (Angela's husband). It was really nice to get three different perspectives on a variety of things like albums, workflow, management, lighting, associates, and financials. I have so many dreams and goals that I'm reaching for and it's nice to see people who have made it happen for them, and to hear about their process along the way.

I know you're dying to see something, anything, from me... so here are some "behind the scenes" images from the workshop...

Angela is so sweet and giving, and was so very humble when it came to talking about her success...

Angela and Gary make such a great team (when he isn't off running his own fabulous cinematography business). I'm so grateful for the information that Gary shared about studio lighting - it's something I haven't gotten into yet, but may be exploring more in the future.
