Photographer's shop is symbol of her hope

Today, we're visiting with Kim from RoadAheadPhotos. Kim is from Rio Rancho, New Mexico and has owned her Etsy shop since January 11, 2012.

How did you hear about Etsy?

I had a couple of friends who were selling on Etsy. Namingly my friend Hannah from BananaOrangeApple who was a wonderful encourager in getting me started will my own shop!
When you began creating how did it enrich your life? Do you recall inspiration from your first creation?

RoadAheadPhotos

I have always taken pictures -  from the time I was old enough to hold a camera. I took photography classes in college and taught dark room photography at summer classes. It was always something that brought me joy :) After going through my fourth job lay off in May of 2011 I went through a really tough time of finding a job and wondering what kind of plan God had for me next. Before this time, I had always been posting my photos on my personal facebook page and everyone was constantly telling me I should consider selling them. My mom and I had been taking vacations together every summer and the summer of 2011 I almost said no, I didn't think I could go knowing how uncertain my future was. Well, I ended up going anyway . . . my mom and I went to California to stay in my cousins beach house for a few weeks. One day while out walking (with my camera) I sat down underneath the Huntington Beach pier. I had just had a long conversation with God and at that time I didn't see much hope. When I looked up this is what I saw . . .

RoadAheadPhotos

I knew right then that there was a light at the end of my tunnel and hope for my future! I just felt overwhelming peace. When I got home I started organzing my photos and opened my Etsy shop in January of 2012. This photo "underneath the Huntington Beach pier" was the first one I added to my shop and is still my very favorite :)

Where can others find your work?

RoadAheadPhotos

I can be found on facebook!www.facebook.com/RoadAheadPhotos?ref=hl
right here on etsy!www.etsy.com/shop/RoadAheadPhotos?ref=seller_info

and I also have my own blog where I often share my creations and what God is doing in my life!roadaheadadventures.blogspot.com/

I am also very fond of Pinterest!pinterest.com/kaysie930/


What area would you like to learn more about here on Etsy, such as photography, writing descriptions and listing titles and so on . . .

Hmmmm I feel like I am constantly learning. I'm not afraid to ask what tags work the best? Do I need to change this photo? I would like to continue to learn how to better promote my items.

Our Majestic Lord

HeartWideOpenArt

See, the Sovereign Lord comes with power,

    and he rules with a mighty arm.

See, his reward is with him,

    and his recompense accompanies him.

luvinstichin4u

 




He tends his flock like a shepherd:

    He gathers the lambs in his arms

and carries them close to his heart;

   



5Hearts1Hook



he gently leads those that have young.

ThePeacefulHeart

 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
    or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
    

ART2HEARTOriginals

or weighed the mountains on the scales
    and the hills in a balance?
 Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord,
    or instruct the Lord as his counselor?

 Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him,
    and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge,
    or showed him the path of understanding? 

Isaiah 40: 10-14

I love how this verse shows the mightiness of our God and also shows his gentleness and love for each one of us. Have a great weekend, everyone!  Lisa :0)
