Inspirational quotes can be the best little boosts when you’re running out of steam, feeling like you’ve hit a wall, or battling boredom.

I’m obsessed with tilt-shift photography.  If you’ve never heard of it before, it’s a way of manipulating an image either through special lenses or by applying filters that make the objects in the image appear miniature like in the image I shot above.  There’s just something magical about all things mini that always makes me [...]

Letting Go of Fear Will Set You Free For the first half of my life, I was the type of girl who was scared of everything.  I hid in the corners at parties, turned bright red when my teachers called on me in class, dreaded walking up and introducing myself to people, was terrified of [...]

For those of you who are dads, Happy Father’s day!  It’s hard to believe summer is here and Father’s Day has snuck up on us again.  It’s a slightly awkward holiday for me, as I never quite know what to get my dad, so I usually just send a card and give him a ring [...]
