Time to Shoot Some Autumn Stock Photos
Fall is here! The trees are starting to change, autumn colours are everywhere, and I have 6 rolls of film to drop off for developing. Jokes about pumpkin spice are everywhere, and I’m consistently wearing the wrong clothes as the temperature flips back and forth from cool to hot. I’ve been working on jotting down…

Summer Feast with Crustcrumbs
When I was in university, I lived off-campus with friends. Thursday night was pub night at our school, and since we rarely felt like making the trek to campus, we would get together with other off-campus pals for what we called Feast. We would buy ingredients, make a dinner (usually something basic like stir-fry), drink (usually…

What I’ve Been Doing
Hello! It has been a while. I realized recently that I haven’t updated my blog at all since 2016, and not regularly since 2014. Oops. This week I’ve started cleaning up my website, removing old posts (nobody needs to see photos I shot 10 years ago as a student), and reorganizing pages. In the last…

Brunch with Crustcrumbs
I know it’s been a long time since I updated, so I wanted to share some new work I’m doing with food stylist John Kruusi.  John and I teamed up a few years ago to start Crustcrumbs, a creative project to combine my photography and his food styling.  In 2014, we hosted a Thanksgiving photoshoot for…

Year in Review 2014
Happy New Year! I know these posts are SO 2014, but I started writing it in December so I may as well post it.  I thought it would be fun to look back on 2014 and do a photography-related Year in Review, from my job and my personal life. A few notable things from 2014: I…

iPhoneography
In September, Stocksy published a blog feature called Mobile Month.  They featured 24 photographers who shoot amazing images with their mobile phones, debunking the “I can’t take pictures that nice because I don’t have as good a camera as yours!” myth. This series has encouraged me to upload more of my “on the go” photos.  Here’s…

Stock Photography of Real Men
In February, there was a lot of buzz in the stock photo industry about needing more photos that represent “real” women.  I made a post sharing 75 authentic stock photos of women from my agency, Stocksy.  That was a really fun project to put together, and I’ve received a few requests to create a similar post about…
