Hey, gal! So I love my camera, like, a lot haha. I quite often find myself taking random pictures of things with inspiration from Pinterest, of course. I’m always taking photos and I really wanted to share them with you guys, I just had no idea how. So here you have it, a post with some photos I took this weekend, and a little chit chat from me π #Let’sChat
A lot of you guysπ my How To Take Better iPhone Photos – 8 Tips blog post, ya know, for those insta-worthy pics and photography lovers. So I thought this little blog post would be cool for you guys to see a behind the scenes of photos I take.
I saw this picture on Pinterest and immediately got inspiration.
Looks easy enough right, I can recreate that, no problem π Well, I got some great photos, but not of which ended up in that pose, or with shoes. But here is what I came up with:
I started with just my ripped jeans in the photo, and then eventually started looking around for more props. I grabbed aesthetically pleasing notebooks, perfumes, my dream catcher, camera, polaroids, anything that caught my eye and was, well, pretty π
I played around with all the props and eventually picked out my favorites. The notebooks, perfumes, and etc. just didn’t fit in with the look I was going for. So then, IΒ incorporated my arm and my hand into photos, with my favorite rings, duh ππ
And there you have it, some super cool photos that I had tons of fun taking! Some are with just my jeans, some with my hands and sweater in the frame, and some with my Polaroids. I ended with TONS of photos but here are my favs: (comment down below which one YOU like best!)






Now, #Let’sChat
Don’t get me wrong, I love giving you guys weekly tips and tricks to help you out, but I want to be able to chat with you guys too βΊοΈ
My life is honestly crazy right now. I just joined a basketball league which keeps me busy twice a week and then tournaments on top of that. Joining the league meant giving up my babysitting job.
I have a piano competition in a week and I am seriously freaked for that. Playing pop songs on the piano is fun and brezzy for me, but performing in front of people. That my dear, is a WHOLE other story π
I go to a workout class twice a week (the days I am not playing bball) which I honestly π so much. Something about being healthy and active, I find super refreshing π Karate ended, guess who’s a brown belt? Ya, girl is! That’s right, don’t mess with me π
Things in school are wrapping up really fast, so I’m both happy and sad. (Sad for finals, happy for summer) However, I am literally itching with the spring bug right now, as it snows in my backyard π
But enough about me, let’s talk about you! Hit me in the comments or a contact box, let me know what you are struggling with and what blog posts YOU want to see, and don’t forget to let me know which pic from above was your fav! Ttyl π

01/05/2017 at 3:13 pmI agree with Keeley! Last one is the best picture; I love all the different things you incorporated into the photos. It actually made a picture about legs of all things look kind of cool! π
Love the #chitchat section! I can totally relate to your feelings about playing piano in front of others; I have the same problem! La de da, I can play piano… wait who are these people, and what are they watching me for? LOL!
And a blog post I would love to see would be one on hair! Your hair is so pretty (from what I can see in your pictures) and my hair is so hard to find styles for. My oh-so-long list of options consists of two. π
To wrap up this long comment, great blog post! Can’t wait to see more! π
