Hi there! Give us a brief summary of who you are & what you do.

Hey hey I’m Bethany! Im 22 years old, I live in Central Texas. I'm a part time makeup enthusiast, and a full time photographer! I actually stumbled upon photography by accident when I was 13. Both of my parents were photographers so we always had a camera lying around the house. One day my best friend, Meagan, and I wanted to go out and take photos in the back yard, just for fun. My mom showed me how to properly use a camera, and every since that day I haven’t been able to put it down!

When & how did your passion for photography start for you?

Hi there! Tell us a bit about yourself and what you represent.

Hi! Well, my name is Hazel Graye and I was born and raised in the Midwest.
Minnesota to be exact. I suppose I would say I represent those who had a
powerful dream within them and the urge to fully experience life. If you believe
in your dreams and have faith in who yourself, you can be anything you want to
be. You can achieve anything you desire if you just believe you can. I know it
sounds corny, but it’s the honest truth. You CAN travel the world, you CAN work
your dream job, you CAN be anything you want to be.

How do you use social media as a way of sharing with others your life,
without letting it influence your life in a negative way?

I try not to be on social media too often. Ideally, I like to post once a day then
after my content is posted I won’t be checking into much more until the
following day besides posting on my story. Enjoying the actual moments rather
than allowing Instagram to consume my daily life honestly makes it easy to
disregard any possibility of negative influence on my mind. Read more

Hi there! Give us a glimpse into your world. You embody a fun-loving, easy-going persona, how do you remain so confident in an ever-busy-ever-hectic life?

I embrace the chaos. I have quickly learned that as soon as you think things are slowing down, you get side swiped by life and it all seems to be thrown upside down. That is life, especially with kids and a self owned business. There is no normal…and as soon as things feel normal you better watch out! I have learned to just roll with the punches, show myself grace because there is no right or wrong, and when you mess up I always see it as an opportunity to learn and grown from the mistakes!

Love visiting your travels on the 'gram. Where is your dream destination with your besties?

I have a deep love for travel and until recent, my kids were just too little for me to enjoy it as often. So now that they are older I am trying to squeeze as much travel in as I can! I have my heart set on Bali (which I plan to visit this March) and I would love to go to Santorini Greece and Cuba this year. Read more

Hey! Tell us a bit about yourself.

Hi! My name is Ron Dadon and I’m a musician and photographer based in Los Angeles, CA. I love spending my time writing music and painting! I’m addicted to Trader Joes plantain chips, and I have a film camera on me literally at all times. I dream of one day owning a lil pup with my boyfriend and spending way too much time traveling the world! But for now, I’m taking in this beautiful city and taking advantage of all the creative opportunities that come my way.

Tell us a bit about how you got into music. Was it instant for you?

Music is everything! I definitely decided I wanted to be a singer at a really young age and fell in love with performing instantly. However, as I got older I kind of pushed it to the side due to other interests (ahem, photography, ahem) and have just recently picked music back up in the past year or so. I began writing songs again and pushing myself to play shows all over the city which rekindled the music spark in me! Since then, I’ve been in the studio a lot and am planning to release a plethora of new singles in 2019. Read more

Give us an intro to who you are & what you do.

I’m Katie Randle, age 25. I live in Dallas, Texas in an area called Oak Cliff (south Dallas) and I buy and sell vintage clothing for a living.

We love how you have taken a lead on curating a wardrobe of pre-worn unique vintage pieces on Etsy. How did Rare Heart start?

I started buying, collecting, and wearing vintage pieces in my later years of high school, but didn’t get serious about selling until almost a year ago. I played around on a platform called Depop for a little bit, soon moved on to Etsy and then got a huge jump start by selling at a local boutique Favor The Kind. After selling at FTK for six successful, I decided to venture out on my own. You can now shop Rare Heart at local events and markets, or the web via Etsy and Instagram. Read more
