I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
There are certain pieces of jewelry I wear daily – wedding band, skinny pave ring, pinky knot ring, Dana Rebecca Lauren Joy necklace, and most recently my Gold & Gray pieces. I must admit, I am usually not one for beaded pieces, I have always preferred dainty gold jewelry over anything statement like. However, Gold and Gray has definitely changed my mind. I find myself reaching for the Moss Agate & Bone necklace every day! It is absolutely beautiful in person and every time I wear it, without fail, I get someone who asks where it is from. I didn’t realize just how versatile a piece like it is. I wore it on the beaches in Brazil, to a cocktail hour in Geneva, and every day since in Dallas. I am absolutely a fan of their pieces and thought you all should know about them too!
We all know the importance of a great shirtdress. And I have already spoken about my love for this particular shirtdress -with its details, high-low hemline, and gathering. Instead of going on again about why you need one of these very amazing and versatile dresses in your closet I will let you shop the look below. I have found shirtdresses from all over the web in hopes you too, can find the perfect one for your closet!
Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was exceptional! I have been sitting on some exciting news for the past few months and was going to wait to tell you but I think now is a good time. You will be seeing a lot of changes over the next few weeks here at M.A.S. Well, actually let us start with that – M.A.S. will no longer be M.A.S. fashion. I have decided to go back to the name I used when I first started blogging in 2010 – So Then They Say. Why the change? While I still love fashion, my passions have evolved to include much more and I felt fashion was a bit limiting. Through the years I have been lucky to travel to different parts of the world and see different cultures – something that has grown to have a huge impact on my life. While the new site, STTS, will still have loads of fashion, I want to incorporate more international flair with both travel and fashion. While the new site will have a new look and new name – the person behind it will still be me!
Another goal I have for the new site is to make it much more shoppable. I have received a lot of feedback lately on you all looking for certain pieces at all price ranges or that you like when I call out new designers – this will all be here but in a much more user friendly way! I think you will really love the new features and hopefully everyone will find something that they are looking for. Once the site launches I will do a walk through of how it works but I had to give you a heads up that a BIG change is coming! So when you are looking for M.A.S. you aren’t totally freaked when you see So Then They Say!
Lastly, a change I want to focus on is a non-profit near and dear to my heart, my mothers own Soldier Cookie Project. I talked about this a bit in my July 4th post but I hope to be incorporating more of it in the future. With all of the struggles going on right now it is nice to know we live in a land of the free!
So, there it is! My big Monday news! The new site has a few more wrinkles to iron out but it is coming! New name and all!!! I hope you love it as much as I do!
