Ana D. Photography


I am a creative Maternity, Newborn, Children's, and Family Photographer. I have been a photographer for over 30 years. I have been specially trained in Newborn and child safety in Photography as well as having my child clearances and background checks.  I believe that Photography tells a story. One of my favorite quotes is "Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still." ~ Dorothea Lange. That is what I do when I photograph Your child or your family. I am blessed to be invited into the lives of my clients at important times in their lives. To share in the birth of a new baby or celebration. I love what I do, every day!  My clients are like family. I watch their children grow, I share in their milestones, And I am so proud to do that, and capture those moments for them.




About Me!

I have been a photographer since high school. I have gone from film to digital and all the changes that it brings. But through it all, my passion for photography has just grown. I think that gives me a little bit of an edge. I started out when you had to create your entire photo in camera and didn't have Photoshop or Lightroom to edit it.  My photos are created in my camera. I edit my photos very little. I think that is what my clients like. What they see me take out a session is exactly what they see when they get their photos back. I am a mother of five children, (most of whom are typical photographers' children who will not let me take their picture). I have three grandchildren, and the only one in town refuses to get in my studio and allow me to take pictures of her either!   I love what I do every single day. My clients receive all of the pictures from their sessions because I believe photography tells a story. And if you're having to choose 10 or 15 pictures from your session you're not getting the whole story. Let me tell your story.

About Me!


Hi all! My name is Britney and I am the creative brain behind my business, Britney’s Unique Earring Creations. I am a mom to two beautiful girls, ages 11 & 8. When I’m not creating new earrings, I work at a local elementary school helping teachers and students!   I have several hobbies but spending time with my family & making earrings is my absolute favorite! My daughters are my “why” for doing what I do.  I started creating and making earrings especially for them so they could have a say in what they wanted to wear. I’m extremely proud of how far I've come and how much this little business of mine has grown over the past almost two years.

Color Street


Color Street nail strips are made of 100% real nail polish and created from start to finish in our Clifton, NJ manufacturing facility. We're revolutionizing how people do their nails by taking the hassle, dry time, and mess out of the application process. Our chip-resistant strips are created with globally patented technology and a formula that contains a base coat, color coat, and topcoat all in one. The result: a salon-quality manicure in minutes, whether you're at home or on the go. When you're ready for a new manicure, simply remove it with nail polish remover and find your next Color Street favorite.




About Me!

I’m a full-time working mom to a beautiful two-year-old daughter. I started selling Color Street in January of 2020 simply because I LOVE the product and wanted the discount for the nail strips that I was purchasing for myself. From there, I just shared the product with my friends and family and my side business grew! Having pretty nails that last 7-10 days without chipping for a fraction of nail salon prices and without the chemicals/damage to my nails has been a game-changer!  










Maitri Design Co.


Graphic designer specializing in small businesses and non-profits. Designs engaging brand advertising/marketing assets for digital and print media that is budget-friendly. From business cards to websites, I can help build a brand that will resonate with my clients and their clients.



About Me!

After 15 years of working in some agencies for big brands and companies, I realized corporate life is not for me and I prefer the intimate relationship with people starting out and building their businesses. I love getting to know people and bringing their business vision to life. Advertising and marketing can be expensive, so I’ve researched a lot of vendors to be able to bring cost-effectively yet still top-quality products and services. I’m also a stay-at-home mom and love the freedom and flexibility. I have been able to work when I want and still be present for my family, which was hard to do when working an office desk job.

About Me!


I am a mom to a wonderful little girl!  She is my mini-me!  I recently received my RN from Pennslyvania College of Technology.  I am employed at UPMC Susquehanna as a Registered Nurse.  I fell in love with Traveling Vineyard when I attended a friend's tasting.  I was working the night shift as a home health LPN where I sat in a dark room all night monitoring a sleeping patient.  Then I would head home and hang out with my (at the time) 3 year old.   So I was starving for adult conversation and interaction. Being a wine guide afforded me the opportunity to hang out with really fun, like-minded people, drink amazing wines, and make a paycheck at the same time!
