BellaDonna Studios - Freeport, Bahamas

'm K. Yolanda Turnquest, photographer, graphic designer and web designer. I'm sitting here thinking how I should word this section without it sounding so "resume'-ish". Now i'm smiling because I actually typed "resume'-ish".

I have been blessed tremendously by God Almighty with the gift of creativity and every day I thank Him for it. I love my life and job, which by the way really doesn't seem that way.

reality of the cold world into a place of warmth, vivid imaginations and beauty. I would often lose myself as creativity took over. I can only hope that everyone in their lives could experience something so natural and beautiful in themselves that takes them into a place of eternal bliss.

It took me a while to really see what others saw in me because if you asked me a few years ago who I was, you'd probably be greeted with a shrug and raised brow. I just knew that I'd come a long way from where I was to who I am today - a creative, kind, generous, meticulous, fun-loving person.

I love working with people to create images and designs that by far exceed their expectations. I don't know... I guess its the look on their faces and their initial reactions that I've become addicted to. I hate seeing people struggle with ideas when i'm practically overflowing with them. I get a certain satisfaction in problem solving and relieving the burdens of my customers and at the end of the day, everyone's happy.
