are you giving yourself permission to fuck around and find out?

As a professional photographer or artist – are you accidentally holding yourself back creatively?

Is your perfectionism preventing you from trying new things?

When was the last time you set aside time to fuck around and find out? Creatively, I mean.

Some of my best work and ideas come after I've let myself be new, and kind of bad, at something.

This set is an example. I'm still learning how to play with digital backdrops, and I could hid...

the art of being your own muse [full self portrait set]

My own work has gotten put on the back burner a little bit as I've been working on client sessions, but I was finally able to complete the edits of this self portrait session from my trip to Florence earlier this year. 

Growing up, I always was enamoured with the idea of Florence. With the history, the artists, the lore. Being able to not only travel there, but to create art with clients and capture these self portraits felt like a giant full circle moment. It was a serious moment ...

birthday self portraits | full set & 31 musings for photographers 🌸

My annual self portrait session to celebrate my birthday this year was probably one of the most technically challenging one I've done. I almost quit a hundred different times (all before the final photos you are seeing now) – working with a projector for self portraits was a huge challenge, but one that I am glad I pushed through because I adore the final photos.

SETTINGS: 1/200, f/1.8, ISO 6400 (my projector does not put out that much light)!

I love h...
