Making Pies - The shop
My Etsy print (and now props) shop is something I daydreamed about for several years before putting it into action. With a background in Photography and Public Relations I have had the amazing opportunity to work for some great international humanitarian organizations. I loved that I was able to use my passion for photography for organizations and work that I care deeply about. While living in Kolkata, India I became close to a family of twelve who made their home on the street, and i {and my photography} will forever be changed because of them. During my 2 1/2 years living in India I found a love for the vibrancy, the color, and the details of the country and their culture. Upon my return to the States, I moved to St. Louis where I worked as an administrative assistant and continued to dabble in photography on the side. Over the past few years, and with the encouragement and support of my dapper, bearded husband {and friends and family}, it has developed into a more substantial business. I began showing my work from my time living and traveling abroad in local coffee shops, and eventually began selling my prints at small home art shows and to friends and family upon request. I'm happy that I am now able to make them available to you here! The name of my shop was inspired by two women; Patty Griffin and her song "Making Pies", and then of course my mom, and her amazing "made from scratch" pies. I love to photograph them and actually work a couple of days a week in a small pie shop {Pie Oh My!} here in St. Louis.
The newest addition to my shop is the "Vintage photo props" section. Over the last couple of years my own personal style at home has definitely taken on a more vintage feel, and that has begun to creep into my work. I love that second hand items are finding new life while at the same time adding charm and nostalgia to my home and my work. And I'm happy to be able to pass some of those treasures along to you.
So take a look; i hope you find something that you love!
