• Interview with Spottin Style

    Spottin Style, a London based fashion company, interviewed me about photographing street style. It was great to reflect on the photos I’ve shot with strangers in various cities the past couple years!   How do you make people smile? Often passing someone in the street and requesting to photograph them is enough to make them smile. […]

  • Pink Is The New Black

    Pink is the new black because it’s summer and we’re going for lighter hues. I just died my hair pink to change it up. What do you think? My hair was light pink on the ends before I left Madrid. I had it professionally dyed and then the pink faded out, which I found out […]

  • Florida Norte

      I came across this sign while shooting in Madrid. The sign is in the background of the first photo “Florida Norte”. I was tempted to photo shop it out because it’s not all that visually pleasing but I think it’s allegorical (and north is definitely better than things going south haha). Miami I’m coming for […]

  • The End

    I’ve been in Miami for a while now. I have been enjoying it immensely. I love being able to walk down to the beach from my little apartment, and there are always new parts of the city to explore. I’m trying be present in these moments as my time here is coming to a close […]

  • Madrid, We Meet Again

    This is an outfit that I wore the other day. I love the trend of contrasting leather sleeves that I am seeing all over Madrid. The jacket was something I had been lusting after for a couple months. After being illy prepared for the rainy weather in Madrid, I bought it. The faux fur lining […]

  • My Love Affair with Floral

    This is the most fun I’ve had creating a blog post to date! I experimented a lot with the camera and my posing. Yes, I laid down on the gravel and the gardeners looked at me a little strangely, but I think the results were well worth it. What do you think? As you may […]

  • The World in My Necklace

    These beads first caught my eye because I thought the pattern was a map of the world. Upon closer examination I saw it was the natural look of the stone, but to me the idea is still represented in the criss-cross lines in the stone. I feel like I have the world in my necklace. […]

  • Autumn Whirlwind

    This week has been a whirlwind of events at Filter Photo Festival. I’ve been spending a lot of time in downtown Chicago. A friend was visiting me and we attended the panel discussions, gallery exhibitions, artist talks, and other events together. It was nice to see her and have some more creative energy around the […]

  • A Strange State of Affairs…

      It has been a strange state of affairs the last couple of weeks. I’ve been job searching and going back and forth between Chicago and Iowa. More than half of my belongings remain in Iowa in my mom’s basement. My photographs, paintings, and art supplies are all there so I am in this transitory […]

  • There’s a Rift to the Dream World

    I’ve been staying with my Father for a few months after graduating college. I’m preparing to go to Spain and live for a few months so this is a nice place to be during this transition period from Iowa to Spain. I photographed at a pond near his house where the sun was beginning to […]
