When I was away at school, I never pictured myself back in my hometown after graduating. I had plans of Australia, New York, and just travelling in general. When it came up that I had enough credits to graduate early, this all changed. I wasn't prepared at all, -so I got a job! (One) of my dream jobs, actually. For the past year, I've handled all of the photography, graphic design, web design & social media for Exchange on Germain & Handworks Gallery. It's been so much fun. It's pretty cool to have worked so hard to land a career I love, and to pick up a job (that I created) just like that. -I say "just like that", that's what happens when hard work meets opportunity. Who knew, Saint John had something to offer, something really cool to offer.
In the past year I've been working my 9-5, as well as my photography business. But I started something else that's pretty awesome. AKA DECOR. -My little babe. (Follow us on IG!!!) This is combining every single thing I love, in one company. With the help of my business partner, Katie, we've really picked it up from the ground and started running. So well, that I'm going to dedicate my days full-time and move myself to Edmonton to do the creating. -Did you catch that? I'm moving to Edmonton!!!!
We will be part of a program called Startup Edmonton, and I get to be with my momma and my amazing boyfriend Callum. No more distance for us!! Callum's job allows us to travel, a lottttt. So the blog posts should be exciting ones in the next few months. We're all pretty excited, and anyone who reads this probably knows that I'm not meant to stay in one place for too long. So off I go, again!
On another note, this post was to announce my move, but also to give anyone a last minute chance to book for photography as well as purchase paintings! (without paying shipping) So spread the word, I tried to keep the month of August as open as possible but between weddings & workshops, I have a little bit of room on weekends, but mostly weeknights! That means golden hour!
