None of my work - none of these blog posts, my resume, increasingly unhinged cover letters, even my linkedin profile - uses ai. I'm working to put together some sort of official statement on that. Like I have a diversity statement on my homepage that I have gotten multiple positive comments from. I want to … Continue reading AI Statement

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.
I know my clients. I try to keep rough track of what industry the grownups work in and the ages/grades of the kids. Part of DC is a small town and it's fun to find out so-and-so works at this agency and knows the guy I dated in college who also works there. Or our … Continue reading 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.
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.
Fall Wrap Up 🍂📸🦃🥧🧡
THANK YOU. I just wanted to take a wee second to thank you all for absolutely bringing it this fall! I have edited all family pics (and one wedding) taken on or before the first weekend of November - phew! There's a few of you stragglers and a senior or two that I'll be tackling this week … Continue reading Fall Wrap Up 🍂📸🦃🥧🧡
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!
I use to have a brain.
What the heck, people. Have you read about women hitting peri-menopause and suddenly their brains stop working? And then they end up with a late diagnosis of ADHD, autism, or some other form of neurodiversity? Yeah. Somethings up. My therapist agrees. I probably won't have the money for a proper neuro-psych eval anytime soon but … Continue reading I use to have a brain.
