TOO MANY IDEAS!

I had an interaction yesterday at my job at the frame shop with a gallery in San Francisco. They represent photographers - some fabulous current artists and a whole slew of others as the gallery has been open since the 70s. It got me thinking as many of the artists had catalogues of their work … Continue reading TOO MANY IDEAS!

One of these things is not like the other…

At the shop this week, I worked on a little task where I was pulling names, principals, and email addresses of interior design firms in the metro area. A modern yellow pages search, if you will. Started with our location and worked out. Click on a website, copy, click "about," write down the name of … Continue reading One of these things is not like the other…

One of my favorite things…

Meet my great grandmother. Family project perpetually in progress...scanning the family archives I inherited from my uncle and saving for posterity. Likely taken in Asbury Park circa 1903ish. I love her in her little knit suit with her seashell and sand all over her little toddler body. Looks like a great day at the shore.

It’s Funny.

Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.

As always, as a neurodivergent perimenopausal women trying to make a living without working in a cubicle ever again, I struggle with EVERYTHING. Imposter syndrome is rife in a world where I run my business by my gut and not how "they" think a small photography business is "supposed" to work. Because I do things … Continue reading Thoughts on a photography career. That’s not over…yet.

You Guys.

End of summer wrap up! It's August. I'm exhausted. Getting ready for the adventures ahead and? The Job Search is happening hard. Welcome to crazytown. And I have mental health issues so I can say that.

Good lord. July.

Dearest gentle reader, I am terrible at this blogging thing. I promise you there are many posts that are created in my head whilst driving or trying to sleep or doing any other daily task that never make it out of my brain and onto the keyboard. Alas. Never ever ever enough hours in the … Continue reading Good lord. July.

Good golly, it’s April?

Why do my blog posts always seem to happen with shock that it's been ages since I last wrote? Time flies when you're having fun? Or time flies when there's a million and one things to do at all times and you can't ever seem to catch a break? Anyway, spring photography is off and … Continue reading Good golly, it’s April?

Hello HR Managers!

If you've made it to this post, that means you've seen a job application I've submitted and were just curious enough to check me out. Goodness. Yes, I am a photographer, yes, I run my own business. It is full time sometimes and nothing at other times. Currently I am a little psyched for August … Continue reading Hello HR Managers!
