New Lens/Love.

It's been so long since I've blogged last! And I have so many new photos and pieces of jewelry to share with you guys!! I got a new lens a couple of weeks ago (85mm f1.8) and I'm in love. Here are a couple of photos from the first day I used it :)

Spring is here!

It feels like Spring is finally here! My favorite things to do are taking walks, photoshoots, driving around with the windows down and music blasting, drawing outside, and picnics. What are your favorite things to do?

P.S. I finally found the perfect black and white so of course I had to play around with it and use it on the self portrait I just did :)

Self Portrait Saturdays. Props.

Today's self-portrait theme was props! I had originally wanted to do something with some flowers but I didn't have time to get some so I put this pretty vintage camera to use. I usually do up close shots so I decided to step back a little and get some of my room in the photo. This is one of my favorite vintage cameras, I just think it is so pretty. I took some TTV shots with it a while ago I'll have to share those with you guys.

This weekend I have lots to do! Tomorrow I will be re-taking all of my photos over for my store. They are currently on a white background now which I'm not in love with. Below is some new jewelry that I made the other night :)

Also tomorrow I am going to Jewelbilee (a local jewelry store) to drop off some of my jewelry for a Fundraiser they are having on March 22nd. It is going to be put in a prize basket and you could win!

Film from my Diana Mini Camera

Film is one of my favorite things ever. I took Photography 1 in College which was all film and I fell in love. That's also when I fell in love with photography. There is just something about taking the photos and not being able to instantly see them then being able to develop them and see them appear right before your eyes in the darkroom. When I get a house I am building a dark room in there! These photos were taken last summer with my Diana Mini Camera and Lomography Color Film. These photos were taken with the rectangle format and when I scanned the film in it splits them into these little diptychs which go so well together. 

What's your favorite film camera?
