I AM..

LAUREN AND JOSH

Love is in the air. Or there is something in the water at our church because so many people are falling in love and getting married. It's beautiful! I love when friends get married :)

Lauren and Josh were so fun in front of the camera, and so stylish, they made it so easy to get good shots :)

SPRING CLEANING

So things are looking a little different around here! :) Don't judge me yet - it's not finished!!!


It will probably keep on changing for the rest of the year as I try to get it just right. I don't know if I will ever get it there, but I have to at least start.

So here it is - a clean slate. It's like spring cleaning. Getting rid of absolutely everything before going shopping for new stuff.  It's not exactly what I want yet, but I was so comfortable with my other design that if I didn't just do it, I'd never be motivated to work on it.

I'm finding it really hard to "package" myself into one particular design. I really don't know how to brand myself. I like too many things, and none of those things fit into the same category, therefore, I don't fit into any particular box.

I'm a little bit country, a little bit hippie, a little bit vintage, a little bit urban. I am an outdoors girl - wildflowers, trees, leaves, feathers, mountains, beaches, forests, etc. are my favourite places to be. But I am also addicted to historical downtown buildings, apartments, houses, etc. and have an unhealthy obsession with looking at home decor magazines and websites. I also love a good derelict urban scene. Bricks, stairs, windows, doors. And I don't have a favourite colour.

I am a designer's worst nightmare. I once read that the worst thing for designers is to be hired by someone who doesn't know who they are. I don't think that's my problem- I think that I know who I am, but I just can't fit into one palette, into one theme, into one box.


So I'm deciding to keep the blog clean and let my pictures and words do the talking. I don't want this to be a place where I can only post my photography work. I want to post whenever and whatever I feel like, so I think the bare design leaves the door open to whatever I choose.


Let me know what you think and if you have any ideas or tips for me! :) I'm Googling a lot of html help as I speak so I need all the advice I can get!

(One specific question I do have is - do you think I should keep signing my photos?)

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

With the change of season, expect to see some changes on the blog soon too...

RODWELL

Recently I took some pictures of my good friend Rod to send to his mother back in Zimbabwe. He is very fun and funny, and it was a cool change to photograph a guy for once!

Usher!

Since we were sending these to his mama, I wanted to get Rod's brother Ralph in the pictures too :)
