When business owners, entrepreneurs and dreamers step in front my camera, the professional brand photos, content and headshots are just a bonus. The true value and community impact comes from the confidence and empowerment we celebrate together. It’s truly an energy exchange that gives my clients the encouragement they need to find clarity in their business and share their offers and client experiences with pride. When business owners take a leap of faith in entrepreneurship, they’re not only setting an example for their family and neighbors, but for their community, our nation and the entire world.

Being truly passionate about what I do and the work that I put into each vehicle has an impact on the Scottsdale and Phoenix community because people can know and trust someone with their highly valued car without the fear or worry of a neglectful caretaker. It also impacts the community because I strive to always bring joy to people‘s days as well as convenience and a stress-free experience. Read More>>

The more music and positive vibrations in the world the better especially with such a healing and powerful instrument that the didgeridoo is. I love hearing from customers how much joy an instrument that I created has brought them and many have said it has changed their lives and opened up new worlds and connections. It is one of the most healing instruments and when I first rescued my dog she would only eat when I played in the key of C for her and would fall asleep in my lap when playing. Shows the power of sound and why many sound healers utilize it in their practice. Read More>>

My journey into the travel business began with a profound realization. After a health scare with my husband, I found myself questioning what truly mattered. It was a wake-up call, prompting me to seek a career that ignited my passion. After 15 years working alongside him, I craved a profession where I could make a difference, a purpose that would make every morning exciting. That purpose became clear: to craft unforgettable travel experiences for couples and families, creating cherished memories that last a lifetime. Read More>>

I started my business, Escape and Adventure, because I believe weddings should be more than a traditional cookie cutter experience. It should be an experience that feels true to you. I wanted to create a space where couples could break free from expectations and design a day that reflects their love, their adventure, and what truly matters to them. Read More>>

As I have a full time job in addition to running my own business, in the past I struggled with work/life balance. I often blamed the demands of my employment as the reason I did not make more progress in my creative entrepreneurship. Then I read a book called “Our Band Could Be Your Life,” by Michael Azerrad. It told the stories about the DIY spirit of many of the underground punk and alternative rock bands I grew up with in the 1970s and 80s. These groups literally started from nothing: no resources, no fans, no social media, no corporate support. Yet they persevered and many have achieved legendary status. Read More>>
