It’s

Aloha Friday!!!

I am so happy that its the start of the weekend! It was a very long 9 days of straight work, and I am ready for a few days to relax a bit!

Who am I kidding, I have tons of editing to do!

Every couple of Fridays, I am offering a Friday Live on Instagram, where people can ask me personal or business questions, and last week was a great one that I wanted to share with you guys the questions and answers just in case you missed it!

Favorite Movie

Of course, you know how much I love the Harry Potter movies, but my favorite movie of all time is The Shawshank Redemption. It was my fathers favorite movie, and Ive read the book as well. One of my favorite quotes in the movie, which I can quote the entire movie, is:

“hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”

Did I go to school for photography?

Nope!! I picked up a camera when Jasmine was a baby! I bought a kit Nikon Camera and just started shooting my kids, and then my friends. I was always passionate about photography, but never thought about making it a business, until I lost my job a week before my husband was to deploy for a year. When my husband asked me if I could do anything in the world, what would you do? I blurted out, ” be a photographer!” And he agreed, and I have never looked back!

What is my favorite food?

Sushi!!! Chicken wings is a close second! I think there should be a “chicken wing sushi!!” LOL!

If I have to pick up my business and move, where would I move to!?

This is a hard one! Obviously being military, we will eventually move again! Plus, I live in paradise here in Hawaii! But, if I have to chose, it would be Florida or San Diego! I think it would be a relatively easier transition to go from one coastal area to another! Another place I would love to live, just cause I love a lot of photographers work is Colorado!

How do I make my business legal?

I am not a legal person, so please make sure that you do your research and check your state laws and such! First thing you need to do is get an EIN with the IRS, Register for your state taxes, get your business insurance and license! 

Favorite Harry Potter Movie?

You guys are killing me! I love them all!! But, if I had to choose one, it would have to be the Prisoner of Azkaban!

Thats it for this week! Make sure you are following me on Instagram and tune in at 10am HST on Instagram Stories Live to answer any Q& A’s you may have for me!!!
