Introducing Jazzi Girlz - apparel for girls
Last summer I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with entrepreneur, Tanaya Parker. Tanaya is a clothing designer and seamstress in the Metro Detroit area and the brainchild behind Jazzi Girlz. Jazzi Girlz is a line of boutique-style girl’s clothing as well as hair bows, refashioned denim, jewelry, accessories, room decor and more. Tanaya custom designs holiday outfits, party dresses and pageant couture.
The Family Room is excited and proud to be the official photographer for Jazzi Girlz apparel. I also designed her logo and business cards. This spring we will be putting out a casting-call for models in the 4t - 6t range. We’re looking for girls who can ham it up for the camera. Jazziness is a plus. Get your snapshots ready!
If you appreciate sturdy, american-made clothing with attention to details and if the little girls in your life have “the jazzi factor” then you should check out jazzigirls.com.
Special Projects
In 2008, The Family Room took on a couple of special projects. I teamed up with well-known Stamper, Scrapbooker and Paper-Crafter Erika Martin for The Soulology Project. The Soulology Project is a weekend scrapbooking workshop that helps women create scrapbook pages about themselves. Usually it’s the scrapbooker who is behind the camera, documenting their family’s lives. They seldom make pages about themselves and even if they wanted to, they aren’t sure what to write. Erika’s emotive course helps you get in touch with your soul and journal a legacy for your children. My job was to photograph all the participants so they would have photos of themselves for their scrapbook pages.
Erika also offers The Soulology Project and Journaling 101 as online courses through Papercraft Planet.
Here are just a couple of the women who attended the class in Pennsylvania this fall.
Nicole Seitler is designer and owner of Sugar Plum Paperie. She is a digital and hybrid scrapbooker.
Melanie is a Stampin’ Up rep who makes a lot of hand-made cards and posts them on her blog.
The other project is a partnership with JazziGirlz. I’ll post about that in a bit. I have a 1 month old coming in soon!
It feels like a new beginning!
I had made plans to change my business name to something shorter and sweeter, but the name I had selected has been trademarked. I decided (with the help of a trademark attorney) it wasnât worth attempting (even though Iâm in a different industry). Even so, I now have a new website and Iâve introduced some new collection pricing that I think is pretty fabulous. I hope youâll think so too!
