MINI FLORAL STOP MOTION BITS + BOBS
GLASS VASE GROWTH TEST
FLOWER FEELINGS —
I am endlessly inspired by flowers. (Is that painfully obvious?) By the way they look, naturally, but also by the way they feel — I received some of these in a recent delivery from my husband and I couldn’t stop touching them — I went back for a few more stems that had unique sensory experiences.
Once I got back home, I set up a simple black backdrop with some light rigging for the stems. I wanted to hone the focus on the flowers and their movement — and nothing else.
QUATRE — A FOUR-PART COLOR STORY
I’ve always wanted to put together a pastel rainbow palette with some multiple models, but for the longest time, I could never find a way to tie it all together. I started to build these outfits out more recently once I stumbled upon a few formal matching pieces in the same pastel values, and my finds let me in the direction I would ultimately pursue.
While this idea was building in my mind and mood boards, Cream Creative Space posted sneak peeks at this new set installation — and I finally had my missing puzzle piece. Four sides, four models, four pastels. I had this idea for a short video while planning the poses, and love how it turned out. (Accompanying reel here!)
A FORLORN FASHION (MINI) FILM —
Born out of a need to make something new after a creative hiatus, and the realization that I had an abundance of pink things in my styling closet, I booked some time at Cream Creative Space, found a subject, and we spent two hours making this mini fashion film together.

PUSHING DAISIES —
Really the simplest little video — I was walking around the park across from my apartment and as I neared home, I stumbled across this spot of daisies, and came back with my camera. Every time I watch this short, 6-second clip, it transports me into another world — a tiny one, amongst the flowers, the ladybugs, and the breeze.
MELTING AWAY — A TIME-LAPSE —
I wanted to try my hand at making a timelapse, and I was searching for a subject when I found Onya’e on Instagram — they’re local to Portland and make these incredible decorative candles with a bubble motif. I thought this structure would melt beautifully, and it did! The time-lapse had to end prematurely because the bottom of the candle melted down, and the wick fell out — but I learned a lot about this format and I can’t wait to try more in this medium.
ALPACA FARM HONEYMOON —
When our plans to elope in Iceland in 2020 were dashed, so too were our honeymoon plans — we pivoted towards looking at interesting Airbnbs that were far outside of the city, and found Nancy’s Alpaca Farm. Nancy and her hundreds of alpacas were incredible hosts — we checked in with them every morning and night, and on the last night, we even got to help Nancy with the final steps of delivering a new baby alpaca.
