I am starting this blog out of interest of expressing myself, and sharing inspirations. I hope that you stay extremely entertained and love to hear comments anytime you feel like leaving them. I guess I should start with a brief introduction of who I am. 
My name is Renee Keith, I live in Salt Lake City, Utah with my rad husband (Todd Keith) and two beautiful little girls. We were married in Italy July 2010. Todd and I are both (self taught) professional photographers full time, contributing to stock photography through iStockphoto and Getty images. We also run a little photography studio (BellaOra.com) locally on the side.
I studied Makeup Artistry during 2011… so that helps with our photography business a lot of the time. It has been a fun experience and I started a Beauty Makeup Study on this blog so I can continue to learn.
I have always been an artist my entire life, so it was fun to combine my two major passions together in 2010 creating images of body paintings that I have done. Todd also photographs them with me creating a completely different look which is fun to see. We put together a little site for our work here: Art Body Paint
Besides art and photography, I am a craft junkie… I love making sculptures, jewelry, candles, soaps, and crocheting, pottery etc. Lets see, a little more about myself… I appreciate good friendships and try to throw parties often to keep people closer. We also LOVE to travel, go camping, watch movies, hang with family and play games.
One day during 2011, I decided I would like to play the violin. In fact we all became musical! Todd plays the sax, Jaimy sings and Brooklyn also plays the violin. It became a noisy house, and a different lifestyle than I am used to. We are all loving it!
My favorite things and way to be is completely random, and I have every intention of being random in my blog as well. You might find everything on here from life experiences, inspirations, road trips, photo and editing tips, photography and arts & crafts to simple life updates.
