Welcome!

What the heck is Flamingo Dreams?
Flamingo Dreams is a little bit of everything that I do...for fun as well as for income.
The two shouldn't be mutually exclusive, right?

Here, you can click to what I can do for you (services)
and how i express myself creatively ...
art photography, hand-made goods, vintage treasures and more.


So how can I help you with your dreams?

I'm a writer, photographer and have added social media organizer to my repertoire.
I'm currently enrolled in the  Professional Social Media Certification program at Sonoma State University and will earn my certificate by the end of 2014. 

Writing
If this isn't your strong suit, why not let me do it for you?

A few examples...
  • Blog posts
  • E-mails
  • Newsletters
  • Ad copy
  • Product copy
  •  Columns
  • Recipe directions 
  • Editing/Proofing your writing 
  • Creation of simple brochures, flyers and letterhead/business cards.

Photography
I can do all sorts of photography, but what I love to do most is...
  • Food photography
    (preferably vegan or vegetarian)
  • Product photography
  • Natural light outdoor informal portraits
  •  Exterior Architectural/House Photography
  • Nature, Garden and Landscape Photography

Social Media Organizing and Promotion
Although I am not a website designer or graphic artist, I can help you organize and write your copy and gather needed materials, helping you set up a complete Social Media package and create a template for posting reaching your audience.
  • Simple websites or blogs
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Instagram
  • YouTube
Why the name Flamingo Dreams?
Well, can I say it came to me in a dream? I could, but it wouldn't be true. The "dream" part is because, yes, I have dreams  I'm making them come true here.

"Dreams" also, because I can help you with your dreams, too. More on that below.

What about the the flamingo part?
Well, the flamingo is an iconic symbol that vintage
trailer enthusiasts (like me) have adopted, and I've fallen in love with it.
It's pink, tall and graceful and I imagine it's dreaming
of something grand while it stands there on one leg.
