If it hasn't been obvious by my last two blog posts and lack of a post last week, 2016 has been off to a rough start. Dealing with setbacks with one of my business partners, prolonged and escalating family drama, and the usual winter slump freelance depression has taken its emotional toll to the point where I
Can you believe that December is already upon us? November flew by entirely too quick, but as I put together my monthly recap summary, I was truly shocked by something: In November, I did significantly fewer photo shoots than October and my busy summer months, and yet my income for the month was the second
If you've been following my blog for a while, you know that I have a serious addiction to travel. I feel like I've been on the go for most of this year, particularly the entire summer when there wasn't a full month I spent at home. But for as much as I love jet setting,
When I first met my boyfriend Martin in February 2012, the first thing I was struck by was his accent. Distinctly Eastern European, I couldn't place its exact origin, but like many others who first meet him, I presumed it to be Russian. When he told me he was from Bulgaria, I have to admit I

May was one hell of a ride with a multi-day music festival, film festival, political conference, and LOTS of food photos. It was also a highly nostalgic month, as it marked the end of my first car and third laptop, and entering into the last year of my twenties. That was pretty much how the
Happy first of May! It's hard to believe that May Day (or Lei Day if you're in Hawaii) is already here once again. Besides being a sure sign that summer is right around the corner, the end of April was significant for this blogger because it marked the first full month that I captured full
When I think back to the 18+ years I spent in various forms of school, my main memories involve the many breaks we would enjoy each year. From the family-oriented fall and winter breaks, to the much livelier spring break and of course the much-loved summer break, schools get one thing right: giving students several
