I feel blessed to work with businesses to help them shine, but when I get to work with local talent like I did this week, my heart sings! Lillian (11), Emma (9), and Eisley (5) are the creative and tech-savvy off-spring of Photographer and Graphic Artist, Daniella Koontz. Daniella and I have worked together for many years and I am thrilled to have her on my team as a Media Maven. When I saw an animated video she posted on Facebook her girls created, I about fell out of my chair.

My mind was racing with ideas and excitement so I shared a little bit about these girls to Pat of Pat & Toni’s Sweet Things. This was a no-brainer since he enjoys working with and supporting youth; he was excited to have them create something for the shop. One of the things I admire about Pat is that even though he has a lot of retail experience, he is always open to trying new things.

In a brief production meeting, we laid out the groundwork and then let them loose. Take a look and see what these little sugar plum fairies came up with!
