Camera Handbag

When I went to NYC, a few months ago, I was looking for a camera bag that I could wear around that would protect my camera, but also be big enough to keep my wallet in. I ended up just wrapping my camera in a towel and carrying it around in my purse because I couldn’t find anything…
Well, I decided last week to make one! I just used a bag I had already owned, some fabric, a little sewing machine, a needle, thread, different measurements of foam, and velcro!

Depending on the amount of interest and feedback I receive on the one I made for myself, I’m thinking about making lots of different sizes/colors and selling them!

a place to keep my journal

Spot to put my film or memory cards... any little things I might be carrying.
Magnetic latch so I don't have to worry about it opening.

Behind the Scenes - Vintage Shoot

Hey everyone! 
Here are some behind the scenes from my recent editorial shoot in this beautiful 1929 home. 
It's been kept up and left in the state of how it would have looked when the homeowners lived there. 
It was so lovely and I can't wait to show you all the images.
They will be available the first part of April once they are published in the magazine.

New Member to the Lens Family!

Today, my new recent lens purchase arrived. I purchased the Canon 28mm 1.8 lens. I've been wanting a wide angle lens for quite some time now. After going back and forth trying to decide what would be the best purchase for me (at this time) I decided on the Canon 28mm.  After testing it out today, I'm very happy I did. A lot of reviews mentioned that it was "soft" at 1.8, but after testing it out all day today (taking tons of pictures of my boyfriend and cats :] ) I can say I didn't find anything soft about the focus at 1.8. It was spot on just as my 50 and 85 are...

I took pictures sitting in the same spot so you can get an idea of how the lenses look in comparison.
Note: I shot all of these on my full frame camera.

New York City

Watching the sun rise, on the plane ride to NYC.
I had a wonderful trip to New York and New Jersey. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back. Next time, though, I plan to be doing lots of shoots while I'm there.

The first day we spent it touring Princeton, NJ. Princeton University is so beautiful.
