Hitting the ground running for 2012!
Yesterday we did our very first photo shoot of the year; shooting was at my dear friend Damion’s apt. It was a looooong day; we shot so many pieces. But glad we were able to get it done. Items will be available at the end of the month.

Happy new year everyone!
I’ve been quiet on tumblr for a while: was getting orders out for christmas/new years; went to visit my great friend Michaela in Rhode Island; spent new years with my friend Damion in New Jersey. So I took a break from blogging for a while but now I’m back!
But while away, I decided that 2012 will be dedicated to making huge leaps, both in my personal life...
