Hmmm, where do I begin? First off, mixing patterns doesn’t scare me. I think some people are afraid to mix multiple patterns because they don’t know how to do it. For those who are nervous listen up!
Make sure one of your patterns is smaller than the other so it balances out. This is why polka dot and leopard are always a popular choice.
Stick with similar color tones or an item that has primary colors. I wouldn’t wear neon on neon unless I was going to a rave or pastel on pastel unless it was Easter…on second thought actually no, I wouldn’t wear those ever so scratch that. Leopard is great for mixing because it has the muted color tone already in it: cream, black, and brown…what doesn’t go with that? It might be your best option starting out and then the more practice you have the braver your choices can get!

I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
