NTXBB LAUNCH PARTY

Jan 26

Sunday:

We traveled to North Park and stopped at the LOFT (ANN TAYLOR) to attend the Launch of North Texas Black Bloggers. We = Me (Desmond) + My Queen (Brittny). YES she stepped out with style and grace and worked the room with me. Mingling and shopping she expressed her excitement of understanding blogging in such a new light. While at the event we had the opportunity to meet a diverse group of bloggers while being surrounded by clothes and the photography ideas jumping from every direction. We met a great group of bloggers that individually have there own style. From business, fashion, music, hair, motivational, technology, to even WHERE is the VODKA :) (she was one of my favorites) bloggers. The room was bubbling with new faces and people from all types of backgrounds all excited to create.

What was this event about?

This event was the introduction to an organization that is designed to influence Inspiration, Education, and Motivation. The North Texas Black Bloggers Association is a community of driven bloggers and content creators seeking the inspiration, education and motivation needed to successfully navigate through the exciting arena of online curation and blogging. There goal is to provide educational resources, collaboration opportunities, and motivational tools so there members can be better bloggers and influencers. Through meetings, workshops, networking opportunities and meet ups they demonstrate that blogging is much more than working individually behind a computer.

Who are the Founders?

The North Texas Black Bloggers Association was founded by Danyel Buie and Jennifer Baker. Both bloggers have a heart as pure gold. Through out the event the worked the room insuring they touched everyone and encouraged even some that did not have a blog to start one. There passion to help others showed through there conversation. There humble spirits eradicated as they pulled the group together to explain briefly what NTXBB is all about.

I look forward to the next event and working with many of the bloggers in future endeavors. Great job to Danyel and Jennifer you guys did an excellent job and to me.. have struck gold! I love your vision and plan to support!

Dlores Media Group is a professional duo that captures creative images around the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex. Our creativity ranges from "I Said Yes" Engagement, "Its a Baby" Maternity, "We Are Family" portraits,"Urban Vintage" lifestyle and so much more. Photography is our passion, and we focus on making our clients vision clear through our lens. A Philadelphia native who's settled in the Dallas Metroplex found his passion for photography in high school. He was shooting random photos for the Ranchview High School year book with a Canon Powershot; that he won in a Microsoft Entrepreneurship contest. He realized then that he would eventually allow his gift to make room for him. As time went on he graduated from the University of North Texas and his love for photography always rested dormant until 2013. Desmond said, "I Do" to the woman (Brittny) of his dreams and captured some of his first photos with his Canon camera around St. Thomas that he frequented often in his earlier years with his mother (Sonja); of course not the same one from high school. Desmond; a self taught photographer started snapping photos every opportunity he received from dance events, church sermons, fundraisers, weddings, vacations, etc. Dlores Photography was birthed from his encouraging grandmother who always told him, "Baby you ought to start charging people for your time, gift, and very well learned talent." He always laughed and said, "One day mom-mom.". What many don't know Delores; Desmond's grandmother, experienced multiple optical surgeries which in time left her vision impaired but still able to see the images Desmond captures through his lens. He said that this will be his life passion gift to the woman who has encouraged him through some of the best times of his life while being one of the cornerstones in his life. Desmond named the company "D" "Lores" after his grandmothers childhood name "Lores" and added the "D" to represent the bond between the "Sugar Cookie"(his nickname for her) and "Chocolate Chip" (Her nickname for Him) duo sense his birth. Desmond's vision is to inspire and capture every moment he can no matter the genre to ensure voices are heard through his digital influence. His clients often say his passion for others shows through his work. He believes life should be captured through and image so others can talk about it and bass in the moment of captured time. Life is but a vapor and we must cherished daily; like Desmond cherishes each moment he has to spend with his family; Wife (Brittny), Mother (Sonja), Grandmother (Delores), his fatherly inspiration and grandfather (James) , and Marlee (the Model Dog) in the state of Texas. Employment: Bank of America Manager (2010-Current) Education: University of North Texas- Graduated Applied Technology Performance Improvement (2008- 2012) Interest: Family Photography, Portrait Photography, Engagement Photography, Life Style Photography, Maternity Photography, Event Photography, Reading, Music, Singing, Traveling, Charitable work, and so much more.
