  • Making Life Whimsical pt.2

    I’m back! With more tips on whimsifying your world, in a bid to help you create a more magical and beautiful world for yourself. One thing I’ve done to add this magic to my day to day is to really hone in on the really tiny, unnoticed details around me. So many beautiful things surround…

    a 35mm film diary I finally got my first roll of film back. It took longer than it should have because of some rookie errors on my part, that I won’t go into. But the photos are here and I’m so, so happy with them. There’s such joy and excitement in the process of taking…

  • I’m a Photographer Now

    I’ve always loved taking photos – capturing moments, moods and memories. Finding art in the everyday and telling stories through my lens.
