Contrary to popular belief, I did not fall off the face of the earth, find the lost tribe of Aquaknoba, live in the Hobbit hole in New Zealand or anything of the above.  No, I didn't get married.  I certainly got life though.  I also did what no artist ever should, I gave up on it for a long time.  

Perhaps you'll be happy to know though, that I have been blessed with an incredible opportunity.  You may be seeing my artwork in some very neat places in the not to distant future.  And even if you don't, I'm going to grow my business and I finally have many of the pieces I needed, and most importantly, my own two hands.

I have a website, though I will be revamping it later this year and changing the name.  Till then, you can see my work at www.folklorephotography.com.  I may come to DA to rebuild all the friendships and audience I once had, but I can't promise anything at the moment since I am secretary by day, artist by night.  But bear with me and if you'd like to keep up, send me a note and I'll have a way to keep you in the loop soon enough (I would love to stay in touch more directly with my friends on here)!

I hope you all are doing wonderful, pursuing your gifts and learning to give and learning to love.  Till we talk again (which hopefully is soon) good night!

It's been what, over a year or so?  Can you see life has really ran away from me?

It's been a very, very long time.  So, let me start by saying Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas, and Happy Easter and any other holiday greeting that I missed.  I hope you all wonderful ones, and to all my DA friends that left me sweet messages, thank you so much.  I was gone, but I definitely didn't forget about any of you.  I browsed through some of your work and might I say it's as excellent as ever and getting better.

To all my new watchers, thank you so much.  I'm glad you're still sticking with me! =D

Talk about surprise when I got on, is this the same DA I knew a few years ago?  Everything is so different! *is somewhat lost*

Can someone explain the llama things to me??

Anywho, life is still hectic and my photography has suffered for it, however, I believe I'll be getting back into the swing of things soon enough.  This summer is going to mark, shall we say, a revival of sorts?  So hold guys, I'm coming!  In the meantime, I do have a few smaller scale things to post (mostly senior pics, etc.) that I've done in the past year or so.  

Love you guys!

Talk soon

Hey guys, remember me?


Hey everyone........I suppose you know the drill by now.  Here's my bi-annual update where I apologize profusely for not commenting and thanking and keeping up to date with everyone.  But the great thing is, I know most of you understand and I thank you for still sticking with me. :hug:

Lots of things have been going on, both big and small, simple and complicated.  But let's talk about other things.  How is everyone doing?  How is your summer going?  Anything exciting?

My summer has mostly been taken up by well, theater.  We (a local church) are putting on Beauty and the Beast and take a wild guess what my role is?  Besides being assisstant director, I'm also, you guessed it, Belle.  It's been a journey for sure!  But it's always been a dream of mine to play my favorite princess and now I get the chance. :heart:

I'm getting the ballgown dress made so I'll try to get some pictures in it and post them.

Mechacon is in a few weeks, Lord have mercy!  My head is already spinning.  This is my second time cosplaying, but my first time crossplaying.  I just hope I do justice to the characters.  

By the way, our cosplay group (Mad-Tea-Party-Prodn) has some new things up and more on the way.  Just thought I'd let you know.  Hopefully I'll be getting a few up as me as Riku/Byakuya in the near future.


Well that's all for now.  Short and sweet!  I will probably be making a few dozen fav and runs for all of ya'll so be on the lookout for my fav floodage.  Miss you guys and hope I can get the chance to keep up with you more in the near future! :glomp:

P.S. Wish my luck on stage!  And no "break a leg" please.  I can't afford to since the waltz with Beast is now a full fox-trot.  :faint:

I'm pink today


...Ok, not really.  I'm actually blue....

....Sorry guys I'll stop with the strange inside jokes.

Anyway, hey!  Lots of things have been going on for me lately. Most of them good. :aww:

For one, I finally caved and got my sub back.  I can't help it, I missed it soooo much!

Kaitlin = Subwhore

My epic battle with my inbox is going somewhat in my favor...at the moment.

For two, OMG *#$&*#)$*# I got my camera. :faint: It is flippin AMAZING.  The only problem is that I'm only on page 49 of the instruction book.  That's right book, not manual, book.  Like...a full fledged novel.  I did do some pictures with it and they were wonderful but I am woefully ignorant of all of its parts and workings which means I won't use it until I can use it correctly.  Plus, I'm looking to get a certain lens (a real lens...not the cheap one it came with).

I've been working full steam on my story and it's coming along wonderfully.  I think I'm around 110 pages at this point...


Ok everyone, here's two important things for you.  First, please notice the module on the right side of my front page labeled "Feature".  That is where, whenever I have time, I will feature people!  So always be sure to check there and if you have any suggestions feel free to send them my way.

The second part of this, you should notice the box below labeled "Artist Support".  Similar to my last one, this is where everyone gets a chance to announce things!  Maybe you've opened commissions, or you're holding a contest, etc. etc. just write me and I'll put it up! :aww:

In other news, I have picked both my cosplays for this year and am currently working on things for them (mainly props, etc.).  I'm soooooooo nervous.  Last year I played Yuuko and I just feel I didn't do her justice so this year I really, really want to do it right.  Especially since I'm doing two of the coolest characters....a.k.a. Byakuya from Bleach and Riku from Deep Dive----> :faint:


Anywho, enough about me.  How is life treating everyone else?  Anything special, happy or funny going on?

In the meantime, everyone go watch this video.  Vader always pawns.

Much :heart:, talk soon

So....I've only been gone, oh, a few months...haha...ha.  Well, I might as well say it, SORRY TO EVERYONE I'M JUST RESPONDING TOO.

There were enough messages in my inbox to tie them together and climb up Mt. Everest.  Some were from, like, September, August?  Sorry guys, but as you know, multiple reasons have kept me away.  And though I cleared all the deviations, I've tried to respond to every comment and thank you for every fav.

If I missed anyone, thank you all so much for the comments and favs, etc! :glomp:

Moving on, how was everyone's holidays?  Good I hope!  Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year.  Heck, I'm still listening to Christmas Carols (Enya's Christmas album is INCREDIBLE).  

Any special gifts you received/gave?  Did everyone happily gain 10 or so pounds? :aww:

My birthday was nice.  I made spaghetti and it was GOOD.

Haha, just kidding.....kind of.

Anyway, I'm back in Louisiana for now.  I'm starting class next week which I'm looking forward too (b/c of my photography class).  And, oh yes, I'm still working very hard on my book.  As a matter of fact, that is what takes up most of my time now.  I'm hoping to finish book one sometime this year.

That part of the reason why DA is on the backburner for now.  I used to spend so much time here and when I do come on, I tend to be on forever.  Meaning simply I need to be able to concentrate and internet time = distraction.  

However, now that I've got a good jumpstart on the book, I should have a little more time to get on, but there are no gurantees at this point.

In other news, there are several shoots to look forward too this year!  There is for one, a re-do (properly this time) of the Mad Tea Party!  We'll do Glenda and Elphaba from Wicked.  There's also a lot more cosplay related shoots this summer, but I'll leave that till later.

The big one though? *sigh* I know I'm going to regret announcing this later, but this March, we've gotten almost an entire cast to carry out none other than that crazy-over the top-sparkly-love induced coma- series that has taken the fancy of girls across the world- Twilight.

STAMPEDE! *gets run over*  H-help......

Ok, ok, but seriously we are doing it sometime in March hopefully.  I'm not sure if I'll post it here or over on :devmadteapartyprodn:'s account.  Either way I'll let you know once it's up.

Well, that's about all the updates I have for now.

Oh wait, except for one.........

I'M GETTING A NEW CAMERA $%#$^#$%!  

Yeah, I'm excited.  I've been saving and saving for this camera and now I can almost afford to get it (with a couple of lenses too!).  

*melt* :excited:

Ok, ok, ok, I'll shut up now.  Just wanted to give you guys a quick update.  I'm sure we'll talk very soon (and I mean it this time).





....Crap, sub gone....THAT'S 30$ LESS FOR MY CAMERA....*debates whether she wants to get one*
