April ’16 Playlist
Happy April!!! I'm not playing any jokes on you guys today. Don't worry. ;) It's a new month, so you know what that means... It's time for a brand new Spotify playlist! These are my top ten picks for the month of April. I'm especially enjoying listening to "2 Heads" and "Eyes Shut." I've listened to "Eyes Shut" on repeat so many times it's ridiculous, but I swear it gets better each time! ~ Listen on Spotify ~ What are a few of your go-to songs this month? …
Wisdom Wednesday – If You Can’t Find One, Be One.
Living in a big city like Chicago, I'm constantly surrounded by people. Sometimes, walking down the sidewalk can feel like I'm moving through a never-ending sea of faces. Each person is bustling along with their own to-do list in mind. So many are so intensely focused on their personal objectives for the day that they don't even register the countless faces that pass by them. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm also guilty of this at times. When we rush around so much, we can forget to …
Instagram’s New Algorithm & My Two Cents
As a blogger and a millennial, I spend a significant amount of my time on social media. It's one of the first things that I do when I wake up and one of the last things I do before I go to bed. In particular, I absolutely LOVE Instagram. I think it's so cool to see what's going on with friends, family, and colleagues all over the world through their posts, in real time. Unfortunately, this won't be so easy anymore, because Instagram is making some big changes. …

5 Snapchat Accounts You Should Be Following
Snapchat is becoming more and more popular as a form of social media rather than just as a way of communicating. To be honest, I LOVE it! At first, the app started out as a way to share "snaps" with friends through photos that would disappear after a few seconds. Then, celebrities started creating accounts and letting their fans follow their "My Story." Since then, various brands have even come to embrace Snapchat as a valuable marketing tool. Most importantly, now we can all swap faces with …
Why I Chopped Off My Hair
Surprise, I cut my hair! I've wanted to cut my hair for a pretty long time. It had just recently gotten to the point where it was starting to get stuck in car doors and to be a little too Rapunzel from Tangled for me... but all of this was completely intentional! (The length I mean... not the car doors part.) You may be wondering... why on earth would I grow my hair so long? …

Peacock & Pillars
It's finally feeling like spring in Chicago! It seems like it's been forever since I've been able to do a photo shoot outside without my fingers getting a bit numb, so these higher temperatures are a very welcome change for me. The whole process of shooting in almost freezing (and occasionally below freezing) temperatures isn't quite as cheery as the photos typically end up looking. Just ask my friend Alex! She's seen me on many a freezing shoot... it's actually pretty funny to watch. We shot …
