Hey guys!
Just a heads up that I'll be on vacation from 8/10 to 8/20. All emails sent during that time will be replied to by 8/22.
Doing a blog announcement because for some reason my out-of-office auto responder isn't working correctly and I didn't have time to figure it out lol.
So hopefully, if you've sent a message you'll receive my out-of-office response, or perhaps see this post instead :)
Have a great weekend!

UPDATE: 8/3: All 5 of the spots have been booked! Thank you for selling out the minis in 4 days!
Happy Wednesday!
TODAY is the day you get in on the limited time FLASH Summer Mini Special!
Those who signed up for our mailing list got exclusive access to book beginning Monday- a full 2 days before anyone else- and as a result, just 2 spots remain!
Please please don’t wait because if Monday was any indication, these will go fast as well! So grab one while you still can!
• Professional makeup application for 1
• 30 min photo session for up to 4 people
• 1 outfit
• Custom editing of the best 15 images selected by the photographer
• 1 mounted 5x7 print
• Private digital proof gallery for ordering
Additional prints and digital files are sold a la carte.
To make sure everyone looks as fabulous as can be- makeup is included in the session fee! That way you save a bit because it would be an additional $40 if you paid for makeup separately. You can expect the same flawless look for your photos that you see on my site because you’ll be working with my favorite makeup artist- Denyelle D. Beauty :)
To take advantage of this special mini session offer, you must be located in (or willing to travel to) Washington, DC. Because this is a FLASH Mini Special, the booking window is much shorter, so your session must be booked no later than August 4, 2017. The mini sessions will be photographed on August 26, 2017 at an awesome location in the city!
DON’T DELAY! These spots will go quickly and once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Lots of people have been asking about them, so I know the remaining spots are going to go quick!
Have additional questions?
Please view the FAQ section and if you have a question that is not answered there, please feel free to email me!
I look forward to creating beautiful things with you :)

Last week I conquered two fears: live video AND webinars.
On Thursday, I held my very first live webinar on Tomayia Colvin Education. It may not sound like a huge deal, people do webinars everyday! But it was a huge step for me.
Since live video has been on the scene, I have been pretty much anti-live anything lol. Not because I don't see its purpose or usefulness when it comes to my business, it just gave me much more anxiety than I wanted to deal with, so I didn't!
Until last week.
I agreed to teach the Finding Your Creative Voice class knowing I had both fears... I guess, somehow I hoped that the closer the day got, and maybe the day of, those fears would magically disappear.
Let me tell you that, indeed, did NOT happen lol.
I was flustered and way more nervous than I can remember being in my past 5 years of teaching.
Webinars give me anxiety because I don't have real life feedback as I do when I'm teaching in person. I like faces. And when I can't see a face that's confused or needs further explanation, it just feels like I'm talking into a vacuum and no one's listening.
I "know" that's just in my mind. But just like the depressive feelings I deal with, knowing that it's not true doesn't magically make it go away. So... I gotta keep going! And keep doing what my mind tells me I can't do.
I was very uncomfortable before, during, and for quite a bit after, the whole thing.
But, I did it!
It may not have been perfect, but it was done. And I think I may do it again lol. Maybe not a live webinar, a pre-recorded one. But the fact that I'm even okay with it now is an accomplishment because I was not 5 days ago.
So what's the point of this post?
To say that you should still do something even if you're scared.
Now, I'm not one who follows the philosophy "if it scares you, that means you need to do it", because sometimes fear is for good reason and you don't need to do the thing lol. But if it's an unreasonable fear, one that you KNOW is holding you back from progress, you have to try and push through. Sometimes it looks like a huge leap, and other times it looks like baby steps.
I have quite a few more things on my fear list to work on, but on this day, the first of a new month, I'm proud to say that I've overcome two of those :)
Happy Wednesday to you!
It's been a while since I've checked in, so I'm stopping in today with a post FULL of awesomeness!
Last year was my first year holding the Flash Summer Mini Special, and this year? I'm bringing it back- on August 26!
What's a FLASH Mini Special? It's the same as the regular seasonal mini special, just held on one day (instead of two) and the booking window is open for a much shorter time- in this case, just one week
The pricing and package is the same as previously (you can view full details here), and as is always the case, your spot is only confirmed once your session fee is cared for. So...
Gather your coins if you want to snag an end-of-summer session! This will be perfect for a just-because session, updated family photos, maternity session, mommy & me photos, engagement, or senior photos!
Booking for the mailing list begins on Monday at 10:30a EST! (Sign up for the mailing list if you aren't already!) Booking for the general public begins on Wednesday- if any spots are left- and booking closes on Friday.
On Monday I returned from Charlotte after teaching a 101 Group Session and 102 One-on-One Session last weekend! It was hot, but we still got some awesome images despite the heat :) As it looks now, that will be my last stop for the year, but group sessions here in DC are added as needed, and if you'd like a one-on-one, you're free to schedule those at any time!
Interested in attending? shoot me an email ASAP to secure your seat for the class! You can also check out recaps from past sessions here on the blog and on instagram!
Interested? Enroll in the course for just $9 to watch it live and/or catch the replay! I'm a little nervous because I've never done a live course online before, so I would love to "see" you there :)
Thanks for hanging in there with me to the end of the post! That's it for today!
If you'd like to do a Summer Mini, be sure to sign up for the mailing list and look for an email from me on Monday morning at 10:30a EST so you can snag your session :)
I hope you have a great week!
