"You musn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling." - Inception

So much of being a photographer is letting yourself dream and letting yourself create without fear. This is my goal for the coming months. Shooting according my photographic style and helping my clients dream along with me. Message me if you are interested in dreaming a little bigger for your next photo shoot.

WEEKEND SNAPSHOTS

DIY COASTERS

We finally found the perfect dresser for our shared room! And for the first time I felt a sense of responsibility to keep the surface of my furniture protected. So, I decided I need to make a set of coasters. If you DIY a lot, you probably have a stash of left over fabrics waiting to be used like me. I decided to use the scrap fabric from my moccasin revamp since the aztec vibe goes with our room decor.

Supplies Needed:

Scrap Fabric (I chose a scrap fabric that was a bit thicker/sturdier)

Scissors

Measuring Tape

Marker (I need help cutting straight lines)

Instructions - Probably the easiest project you'll ever do...

1. Depending on your fabric you may choose to cut a specific part, I chose to keep the pattern centered. Once you've decided on that, use your marker and measuring tape to draw out a square of 4.25in x 4.25 in. 

2. Cut along the line

3. Pour yourself a refreshing beverage and enjoy your new coasters!

If you try this simple DIY post a link to it in the comments, I'd love to see it!

Happy Friday!

GUN LAKE

There is just something so beautiful about a lake I can't describe. I'm grateful to have spent the weekend on Gun Lake with the husband and his family. We fished, we ate, we relaxed and we laughed. 

How was your weekend?

WHY?

Why is fear so crippling?

Why do we fall apart so quickly?

Why do we expect success without a lot of hard work?

Why do I forget I'm not defined by my capabilities, success or failures?

We are beholden. I want that to be enough.

Spring is here which means pretty wildflowers and heat! Although my outfit is nothing glamorous, this long tank top has been a lifesaver over the past two weeks. Thanks, Marshall's!

Happy Friday!
