Since March, I’ve done a lot of home rearrangement and reflection. It has helped me think about the space I have and utilize it in a way that reflects the priorities in my work and life.  It’s allowed me to feel like I’m getting the most out of my square footage living in a small […]

I was talking to a friend over FaceTime last week. We spoke about current projects and I told her I put together a gallery of some of the photos I’ve taken while dog walking. A gallery that housed my favorite photos since the shelter in place first started. Most of these first appeared as stories […]

It’s Shelter In Place (SIP), Week 4, in the Bay Area. WE MADE IT! Maybe it wasn’t incredibly graceful getting here, but we’re here! Since it’s been a minute since I’ve done an Artist’s date post, I thought it would be fun to do a Shelter in Place edition!   SF MOMA  I enjoy the […]

It’s week two of the shelter in place. At least in the San Francisco Bay Area where I’m from. A lot of my friends are getting anxious and cabin fever is starting to fit in. People have asked how we’re doing. I appreciate the thoughts and love! I’m a homebody introvert by nature, so this […]

I know, I know. We’re getting into that time of the year where people are starting to give up on their 2020 goals. Why am I writing a 2020 Goal Setting post now? Because sometimes you have to go through things a few times and be not good at them before we become awesome at […]

Why you should start having Artist Dates I restarted reading and going through the Artist’s Way – A spiritual path to higher creativity by Julia Cameron. “An artist date is a block of time, perhaps two hours weekly, especially set aside and committed to nurturing your creative consciousness, your inner artist… Yes. Your artist needs […]

      A question I’ve had from a friend is how I find clients. The answer is through business pitches. In simpler terms, it means reaching out to people I want to work with, hello dream clients! Some photographers are well established in their communities (likely working and building relationships for years) with referrals and […]

Every person I know will sometimes get stuck, or not feeling particularly creative for a particular time. It can be a day, a week, a month or longer. From scrolling feeds, it seems like some of us are falling into a winter blues. Maybe it’s because we’re not as busy in the slow season.  We […]

  Happy Lunar New Year friends! A lot of people refer to it as Chinese New Year as well. Lunar New Year is a time to see family, spend some time together and get ready for the New Year ahead. Now is as good of a time as any to share some of my favorite […]
