I’ve been super excited to share this with you guys! Last week’s theme for the 52 week project was mythology. I considered doing something based on mermaids for just a few seconds but then I decided I really wanted a dragon in my picture! I wasn’t sure how to make it happen, but then I contacted…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was window light. I had this super cool idea, well it was super cool in my head, with a huge window and a silhouette and light rays and dust aaaand I couldn’t do it haha. I did a test and it just didn’t work, and after discussing…
Last week’s theme for the 52 week project was temptation, and it took me a long time to be able to think of something for it. The first thing I thought of when I thought about temptation was a snake, an apple, and the story of Adam and Eve. But I didn’t really want to…
The 52 Week Project is back! I know I haven’t been consistent with it so it kinda defeats the whole purpose. Traveling made it hard to keep up with it, and when I got back I just couldn’t get myself into that rhythm I was into, of shooting regularly. I justified it in my head by…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was dance. I started looking up different kinds of dances but in the back of my mind I thought I’m definitely going to do something based on ballet. Ballet just seems so graceful and beautiful. I kept looking at pictures until I saw some of aerial dances…
I am SO excited to show you guys what I’ve been working on! I’ve always wanted to do a behind the scenes video/behind the scenes pictures, but I never get to because it’s almost always just me shooting. Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was fairytales. And I instantly knew that I wanted…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was long exposure. And as much as I wanted to cheat and pick another theme, I didn’t. I wasn’t sure I could do it, especially because I tried it before and couldn’t do it. I realized that I failed the first time because my ND filter wasn’t…
Last week’s theme for the 52 Week Project was cemetery. I was really excited to do it but then I realized that I can’t actually visit a cemetery and even if I did, there are no headstones in our cemeteries. So I thought I’d just do something in our backyard, and I saw some small…
It usually doesn’t take me more than a week to read a book, of course it always depends on the book and how big it is. But for the past week I’ve been reading Haruki Murakami’s new book, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, and it’s a wonderful book. So being in that…

Last week’s theme was supernatural, and I was so excited to do something a little darker or creepier than usual. I’m a huge fan of the show, Supernatural, and, call me weird but I love the scenes with all the demons and possessions. Surprisingly though, I’m a chicken when it comes to horror movies and…
