THEY’RE BAAAAACK! You asked (ok, some of you begged 😂) and I answered. (I also cleaned out my garage again to make it into a make-shift studio.) June Fine Art School Photos are now open for booking. THE WHY • 2021 has felt like a roller coaster, right? This is an opportunity to celebrate your […]

Last week as part of the GET-YOUR-PHONE-PHOTOS-UNDER-CONTROL challenge, we deleted all of the junk. So! How’d you do? Did you get through all of your photos? Were you ruthless? Did you Marie Kondo it all and only keep what brought you joy? I deleted over 5,000 photos. 🎉 I hope you’re feeling lighter already. Now […]

4896 screenshots? Me too! Truth. I am good at many things. One thing I’m really good at: organizing my photos on my computer. There are folders and labels and colour codes and multiple external hard drives. But, as good as I am at keeping my computer organized…..I am HORRIBLE at keeping my phone camera reel […]

Just laying it all out there…. Literally! Emptying my whole camera bag for the world to see and attempting to make it look pretty. 🙈 Want to know how to make me freak out? Ask me to be on a really big photography blog (scary!), then ask me to pick a few images to be […]
