Anyone who has worked with me probably knows that I have a little bit of a crazy life, but I’ve come to the conclusion that this is me, this is how I must like my life, because given the chance to rest, I don’t really know what to do with it…..It’s almost as if I lay awake wondering if I forgot something, or trying to figure out how to plan all the things I’ve crammed into tomorrow…..It’s just me…hahahaha

My mom owns two Coffee huts in Redmond. Full Throttle Java 1 & 2 as we call them, we also have a concession trailer that we take around to many events in the summer. Mom and I opened up Hut 1, FIVE years ago, we have grown close to many of our customers and have a tight bond with many of them. Those customers truly are in my heart, if they don’t show up for a few days, I start to worry about them. I love the two shops and love working down there! I work down there quite a bit. Then Of Course I have a Husband and two Small Kiddos, they are 6 and 4, so I’m busy just trying to keep up with them and be a great mom, that’s a lot of work by it’s self. Then I squeeze my photography in there because that is my passion. Two years ago I got totally slammed with photography at Christmas time, I broke down, said I couldn’t do it anymore, and turned away business…..I cried when I told people “sorry I’m not taking pictures any more” I cried at night, I cried in the day……then I realized THIS is what keeps me going…..this is what I love……I love brides, I love moms, I love grandmas, I love kids with big eyes, and chubby thighs, I love dads that hold their babies with love like they’ve never known before, I love new love of young couple, and I like wrinkles on old people, and I like tears in a brides eyes when her man is saying his vows….I seriously love people……I guess maybe I just realized that……

THIS IS MY STUDIO!!! OK- it’s still in the very beginning stages of becoming “ME” however we have been down there working on it and it’s SLOWLY coming around….It’s small, (OK it’s tiny) but it’s ALL MINE- LOVE THAT-

My husband has been making me some cool stuff!!! He’s So cool! I complained because It was to hard to change backgrounds, so he made me a track on the ceiling, SO COOL, then I complained that my HUGE soft box (light) was hard to position up and down and move around, so he made me a SWEET stand for it….then I told him I wanted to buy this stand for my camera, but it was $1000 OUCH- so he made me one…..I LOVE that he is helping me! I love that he can build cool stuff that I cant! Thanks Casey!!! It’s super nice to have a husband that supports your dream!

Here are the pictures of us putting up the track and some other little things……This studio is small and a starting place and perfect for kids and babies and bellies and boudoir, it’s also so nice to have a place to meet with people and show them all my awesome products!!!!
