So...this is what is up ...as of March ...

I'm an artist by nature. I was looking for a job everywhere and well could not find one that gave me a sense of pride. I felt like I was selling myself and my family short. So.. I gave it deep thought and said well.. I love make up, I love doing hair, I love painting, I love photography. How can I do all of it?

My husband is my best friend and well I just love going to him about anything on my mind. He told me..well Isa, you love the rockabilly lifestyle..why don't you do photos? Like a few of your friends. Yes taken that a few of my friends are well... more advanced then me and well their shooting is different then mine. I tend to like pinup. So..after great thought and prayer. This is what I figure I can do happily for the rest of my life and still be able to devote my time to my family. So.. I bought a camera..a kit.. started looking at youtube for inspiration. Got the Photoshop thingy and well... I am so excited. I tend to play with it too much. Now I completely understand why my friend Cyn enjoys her work so much.

WOnderful thing about this kind of work.. I can show up in my jammies. :)

I don't have to rock a suit(even though I know I can) or even get ready like I usto before. I can actually get more tattoos and not feel like an outcast. I am very excited and well... I can be a funky looking mama and still enjoy life.

I have now came up with a name to label my line of photos. I dedicate it to my father who died before I was born. Everyone tells me it's very unfortunate I could not have met an Angel(not kidding either, he was). When I got married ... I lost my father's name and well .. I felt awful considering I am his only child and well I feel in someway I should carry it on. Even if in spirit. So here it is...and I will explain it well too :)

I.M. Qute! Photography ( the I is for Isa, the M is for Marisol, and the Q is for my father's last name of Quintanilla) and I figure since most of my photos will be of my kiddos and pinups...and they are both cute.... I think you got where I was going with it!!

I have prayed and well..since I love God with all my heart..and he has actually made this to be an easy thing... I feel like I have a sense of purpose and have not felt so good in such a long time. God gives you purpose and with that you reap the rewards of being at his mercy. I love him...

I love my husband.. my family... my father...my mother....my sisters...new found family...friends..new and old..

Welcome to this new chapter of me....
