The 11th annual Pine Belt Women’s Expo took place today in Hattiesburg, MS, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience as a vendor.

As a business owner and creative, events like these are tremendously beneficial in reaching and connecting with members of your community. This is my first experience with an expo, and although it was a little scary at first (hello, social anxiety!), I truly had the best time talking to everyone who visited my booth.

When I first heard of the expo, I started researching to see if I would be a good fit as a vendor, and I quickly realized what a great opportunity this would be for my business. Their mission and vision statements really resonated with me.

MISSION: The Pine Belt Women’s Expo is designed to enrich, empower, and entertain women in an environment of celebration and fun.

VISION: We aim to positively impact the lives of Pine Belt women as they find products or services that make a difference in their lives.

Umm, sign me up yesterday, please.

My goal as a vendor at the Pine Belt Women’s Expo was simple: to meet, connect, and share with people what it is that I do. I am so passionate about not only taking pictures, but also helping and guiding families in ensuring their photos don’t just collect dust on their hard drive.

And in this digital era that we’re living in, I feel that there’s a huge gap in tangible family heirlooms. As a little girl, I remember flipping through family photo albums and feeling like I actually belonged. I remember feeling so much joy as I looked back on photos from 10, 20… 50 years ago.

Which is why I so proudly tell people of the service I provide. Your experience with me starts the moment you inquire and doesn’t end until I place your heirloom products in your hands.

So leave the stress of planning to me. How does this sound?

• A perfectly curated client wardrobe available for the whole family (yep, even dads)
• A professional hair & makeup experience for you to enjoy within the comfort of your jammies
• A low key portrait session focused on the connection between your & your babies. You will play, snuggle, and giggle
• A custom heirloom album designed to display & tell your family’s story
• Making your home feel like a home with the custom gallery wall of your dreams

I offer an experience that makes you feel loved, valued, and spoiled. From wardrobe, hair & makeup, and printing your memories – no detail is left out.

I can’t wait to hear all about you, your family, and how you plan to preserve your family’s legacy. Tell me all about it here!
