Just a fun little photo tip for the weekend....

Hey everyone, I thought I'd post a fun little photo tip for the weekend. If you are the subject of a photo, don't stand or sit square with the camera... tilt your hips and shoulders a little sideways. This is a sweet little trick us photographers like to use when doing portraits! Not only does is "slim" you, but it adds dimension to the photograph! Here's a sample of what I mean.....


So, instead of standing with her shoulders square to the camera, this beautiful model, Mariah, pushed her right shoulder back and therefore added a whole new dimension to the photo! Isn't she fabulous?!

Just keep that in mind next time you have your photo taken!

Have a great weekend everyone and keep it snappy my friends!

Lady of the Month Spotlight Interview - August 2011

Well it's past due, but here is my Lady of the Month Spotlight Interview:

Meet Sunny. She a young woman with a passion for health and wellness. She has great credentials and knows what she's talking about. Her business is relatively new, and booming! So, take note and enjoy her interview!!!



1) What kind of business are you in and for how long?

I have an online store that I run from my home where I market healthy fast food for people who are tired of eating fast food and junk and who want to replace it with a daily dose of nutrition like my husband and I did. And I have an acupuncturist and a hair stylist who both sell my products in their offices. I've been doing this for about 3 years.


2) What was it that got you interested in that?

My family and I have been longtime customers of this healthy fast food for 18 years. I liked the idea of having my own business marketing them, but I wasn't sure how to go about actually selling them. My mom started taking classes on online marketing and she started up a website. I still remember when she got her first sale online, we were both so excited and I went to work on my own website right away.


3) What is your must have product that you offer?

The most popular product that I'm selling right now is Fortune Delight Tea which is a healthy drink that boosts energy and work focus and is a replacement for sodas and sugary drinks. My customers love that when they're drinking it, they're actually drinking plants, fruits, and antioxidants.


4) How has owning your own business been challenging to you and how has it been rewarding?

With my online business each day I get to talk to people from all over the U.S and it's so exciting. Sometimes it's hard to stop thinking about my online store. That being said though, now I have a system down that makes it simple and I love that I'm able to do something that really interests me and makes my life fun. And with the money that I make on my online store, I pay for all the vacations and trips that my husband and I take.


5) What are your other interests or hobbies besides work?

My husband and I love to hike, ride our bikes downtown, we spend alot of time working on our house together (we're slowly renovating and almost done!). I also love cooking and trying out new recipes and fun vacations to the beach.

6) If you could give one bit of advice for anyone who is trying or thinking about starting their own business, what would it be?

Don't give up if it's slow-going at first or if you don't see alot of success right away. Just like any business, it takes learning how to do it and time to find customers. My first month I only had $30 in sales. But this month I had $1500 in sales which has been my best month so far. I'm glad I didn't give up that first month.
