God writes our story.
I am still learning to surrender the pen.

  1. So, your blog has decided to stop sharing your music- says you have to go to playlist.com for the playback now... :(

    Also, if you're looking to do a photo shoot on the cheap, I have a friend who's pretty good and trying to build her portfolio (Never asked her pricing but I'm pretty sure that translates to cheaper, plus you wouldn't have to get the prints through her because photographers always mark those up crazy).... Here's a link to some of her work (I'm sure there's more she could show you, I just don't know where). She does a lot of cosplay stuff as well. It's been fun watching her work over the past few years, she's gotten so good at it.

    Just a suggestion, not sure what you had in mind, but I know $$ is always a concern.
