Salvage
A few weekends ago, we were back at Ambient+ Studio for the Salvage show. Put on by Indie Craft Experience (remember Wedding Day Hooray?), Salvage was just as you’d expect: completely unexpected, unique, and all about vintage. Everything vintage. Vintage as far as the eye … Read More →
To Be Rich
When I was a kid, I had very specific and concrete ideas of what it meant to be rich. Loads of money. A big house. An even bigger beach house. A mountain of toys. Crystal goblets and cloth napkins on the dinner table. Yoo-Hoo every night. … Read More →
Benny & Joon
Unless it is mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love should not be one of them. See, they get it in “Benny & Joon”. Love is, in many ways, madness. Which reminds me. … Read More →
Fight
You know what these past (almost) three months have taught me? I mean, other than- *deep breath in*- how to take better pictures, how to make better edits, how to use better lighting, how to network, how to hustle, how to push myself in a … Read More →
I Guess This is Growing Up
Next year will be my ten year high school reunion. I kind of feel like Romy White: “You’re kidding me. It’s been TEN YEARS since high school. God. Where have I been?” I feel like I’m still 19. Really. I forget that I’m not. I … Read More →

Once upon a time, I went back to school for nursing. Everybody knows that nurses are simply awesome (and to those who think otherwise, may you have stubborn veins and an extra pokey nurse the next time you need an IV). Nurses are healers, both … Read More →
Junkyard
This past weekend, we went on the infamous Junkyard Shoot. You know, one of those once-in-a-lifetime photo shoots that, during the excruciating application period, you become obsessed with as you pour over past interns’ blogs. Now clearly, ALL the shoots we’ve been going on, whether … Read More →
Family Day
“Everything I do is completely original. I made it up when I was a little kid.” Children are funny. In more ways than the most obvious, too. Sure, my kids both make me laugh on a daily basis- my preschooler, with her clever wit and … Read More →
Oh baby!
Pregnancy is interesting. Of course, it’s all the usual wonderful things: miraculous, exciting, overwhelming, beautiful. It’s a little scary at times. It’s certainly an adventure.
