  • You want to know what isn't fair? Everytime I think of Ireland it makes me think of how sick I was during my first trimester. As I was photographing these shoes I felt such a pit in my stomach, knowing it wasn't going to be an easy day for me. On top of that the travel ban took place, everything was closed & we had to come home early. I was sick the entire trip, fake smiling & pushing through. Ireland in itself & the wedding we shot was completely amazing! The timing was just bad. But the coolest part about it was my girl has already been out of the country and we plan to go back for a vacation with her in a year or two! If you've never been to Ireland it definitely needs to be on your list. It is absolutely beautiful! Even if you're sick!

  • I don't want to be like everyone else. I don't want to blend in or jump on any band wagons because everyone else is doing it. In school I remember how popular phat farm (is that how you spell it?) sneakers were in 6th grade & how much I hated them. I'm pretty sure I was one of maybe 5 students that never had any & didn't ask their parents for them. I was a more of a Chuck Taylor girl. Classic, old school & didn't want what everyone else had. I wanted to be different from the rest. So much so I cut my hair short in 6th grade too and it was SO CUTE. I remember being made fun of for it alot but now it's a cut that every girl wishes she had the guts to pull off. How did little 12 year old me not care so much what anyone thought or even knew that being different was actually, regardless of snide comments from peers, was actually pretty dang cool. But then high school came..... Ah.... to be a freshman again would give me all the anxiety in the world. I lost myself in high school but being a photographer helped me find myself again. It has helped me revert back to "fitting in isn't for me". I want my work to stand out. I want my experience to be different from anyone else's & I definitely don't want to do what everyone is doing. I wish more people knew & understood that we all have something different to bring to the table in this industry & magnifying those differences could actually be big time game changers. So today I want to encourage you to flaunt what makes you different & stop comparing yourself to someone else. You might be wishing you had or could do what they do (been there!) but you do know someone could be wishing the same about you, right? You've got what it takes. Use it!
