If you want to understand the evolution of the "Print," you have to start with Anna Atkins 🧪✨ While history loves to talk about the men who "invented" the tools, Anna Atkins was the one who actually showed the world what those tools could do. She didn’t just use the cyanotype; she mastered it to create the first book ever illustrated with photography.

She wasn't just a hobbyist; she was a meticulous scientist and artist who realized that the cyanotype process was the perfect way to document the natural world with 100% accuracy. I keep this on my shelf because her eye for composition and transparency is unrivaled. She proved that you don't need a camera to be a legendary photographer; you just need the sun and a vision ⛅✨

These soft greens and pale yellows are so peaceful... they have that fresh, dewy energy that makes everything feel like a clean slate.

THE COLOR BREAKDOWN:

The Morning Light (Top Row): We’ve got a pale buttercream (#FEF1D4), a warm golden marigold (#EBAC2C), and a rich, sun-baked terracotta (#CF641C). These are the colors that bring that "sunlight through the window" warmth.

The Dewy Garden (Bottom Row): To keep it organic, I added a soft mossy green (#B8CB73), a fresh minty leaf (#73CB91), and a deep botanical clover (#3CA45F) for the perfect natural finish.

Bunny Yeager was a total powerhouse behind the camera 🎞️❤️ I just finished watching the Netflix doc on her life, and I am completely obsessed with how she championed the female gaze in an era completely dominated by men. She didn't just take pictures; she built an empire on her own terms.

As a fellow female creative, her story hit so close to home. I’m diving into her legacy, "Naked Ambition," and what we can all learn from her fearless style in my latest blog post. Tap the link in my bio to check it out! 🌟

I’m a huge fan of the "Your Frame, My File" lifestyle because it’s the only way to justify my thrift store addiction 🛋️✨

If you’ve found a gorgeous, gaudy vintage frame but have no idea what to put in it, this path-to-the-beach print is your new best friend. You buy the digital file from my Etsy shop, print it out for a few bucks, and suddenly that $5 frame looks like a custom gallery piece. It’s the smartest way to get "expensive" art into your house without actually, you know, spending the rent money 🎞️💸

Time for a little analog school! 🎒🎞️ My creative brain wanted to drop a quick, no-nonsense comparison guide for the two most popular types of Polaroid film floating around the studio lately.

i-Type: "i" stands for Impossible (or Improved, depending on who you ask!). It’s battery-free, cheaper, and strictly for modern rechargeable Polaroid cameras 🔋❌

600 Film: The classic. It has a tiny battery hiding inside the plastic pack to power up your old-school cameras 🔋✨

At the end of the day, the chemical magic inside the frame is the same – it just comes down to how your camera gets its juice! ⚡️ Grab a bev, clear off your desk, and check out the guide to see which pack belongs in your camera bag this week. Happy shooting! 📸

The digital background is screaming in high definition, but the @Polaroid frame is whispering sweet, blurry nostalgias into my ear. This shot of Hogan's Cider Mill is proof that sometimes a photo doesn't need 400 megapixels to capture the absolute perfect memory. It just needs a little film magic and a perfectly timed sunny afternoon 🧺✨

These punchy oranges and golden yellows remind me of fresh citrus, while that sharp teal keeps the whole thing from feeling too sweet. It’s vibrant, loud, and honestly just a big burst of energy for the feed.

THE COLOR BREAKDOWN:

The Zest (Top Row): We’ve got a sharp, refreshing teal (#1ECEBD), a saturated blood orange (#E16411), and a punchy dragonfruit pink (#E84A62). These are the high-contrast "tangy" layers.

The Sun (Bottom Row): To round out the citrus vibe, I added a golden tangerine (#F69E06), a bright lemon zest (#E1CC11), and a deep, pulpy lime (#ADA600).

Consider this your gentle, loving reminder to back up your files today 🙏 Standard hard drive failure was hands-down the biggest, most heartbreaking lesson of my creative career. I lost weeks of work because I simply "trusted" a single drive. Now, I live by the 3-2-1 backup rule so I can actually sleep at night.

I just put a super simple, down-to-earth breakdown on the blog showing you how to set up a fail-safe system using the tools you already pay for (like Adobe & Google). Don't wait until you're staring at a dead drive. Link is in my bio! 🖥️📦

We are officially in the digital revival era 📸🍒 This isn't about capturing every single pore in 4K; it’s about that dreamy, lo-fi aesthetic that feels like a memory before you’ve even uploaded it. It’s the perfect blend of Y2K tech and modern convenience (hello, USB-C charging).

It’s tactile, it’s tiny enough to fit in a baguette bag, and it comes with a friendship bracelet strap because details are everything. It’s proof that the best camera isn't the one with the most megapixels; it’s the one that actually makes you want to take the shot 💋✨

It’s a mix of soft lilac and rose tones balanced out by a heavy, dark plum that grounds everything. It feels nostalgic, warm, and honestly, just really intentional.

THE COLOR BREAKDOWN:

The Sun-Washed Glow (Top Row): We’ve got a creamy honey beige (#F8E1CA), a dusty rose petal (#E5859B), and a saturated amber gold (#E79133). These are the warm, "faded garden" highlights.

The Moody Garden (Bottom Row): To add depth, I added a muted sage green (#D6D29E), a soft, misty lavender (#D2B6CD), and a deep, heavy plum (#431C3C) to anchor the palette.

Date night at Viron Rondo calls for bringing out the absolute favorites 🍝💚 Standard dinner outfits are fine, but I’d rather look like a cozy, whimsical art project. I paired this Dangerfield tapestry dress with my all-time favorite fuzzy Dressed in Lala cardigan. The real star of the show, though? My Min & Mon bag with the tiny baby card holder on the outside. It’s the little details that make getting dressed so fun ✨

We need to talk about the literal creative marathon that is the New England Tattoo Expo 🖋️🔥

I just spent a weekend at Mohegan Sun for their 6th annual show, and honestly, my "to-get" list just grew by ten. We’re talking over 600 of the world’s most elite artists all under one roof. It’s not just a convention; it’s a high-stakes gallery where the canvas happens to be human.

Trying to remind myself to step away from the screen and actually breathe in some fresh air 🌲 Unplugging is hard, but bringing my camera along makes it a lot easier to appreciate the view. I love how the light hits the leaves in this shot... It’s nothing fancy, just a sweet little reminder that the world is pretty beautiful if you take a second to look.

Meet the Reclaimed Purple 600. This isn't just a purple filter; it’s a total chemical fluke. Polaroid’s chemists mixed their Blue 600 chemistry with a specific Acid Red dye, and the result is this haunting, high-contrast violet that looks like a literal dreamscape.

This is part of their "Reclaimed" series – meaning they are using salvaged chemistry to create small, non-repeatable batches. Once this run is gone, it’s gone, because you can't exactly "mass produce" a happy accident.

Meet the Reclaimed Purple 600. This isn't just a purple filter; it’s a total chemical fluke. Polaroid’s chemists mixed their Blue 600 chemistry with a specific Acid Red dye, and the result is this haunting, high-contrast violet that looks like a literal dreamscape.

This is part of their "Reclaimed" series – meaning they are using salvaged chemistry to create small, non-repeatable batches. Once this run is gone, it’s gone, because you can't exactly "mass produce" a happy accident. It’s currently in Early Access for members only, so if you’ve been sitting on that Polaroid rewards account, now is the time to use it.

Whether you’re looking for a new artist or just some "creative chaos" for your own studio walls, this is the blueprint. Tap the link in bio to read the full guide! 🔗

One thing about me: if I can find a way to mix florals and leopard print, I’m going to do it 💅 This dress/shoe combo is my current favorite studio vibe. It’s comfortable enough for a 12-hour design sprint but loud enough to make me feel like I actually left the house 🌺🐆

Think of this as the digital extension of your camera bag. Beyond just being a remote, it’s a hub for tutorials that actually skip the fluff and get into the technicals. I mostly use it to curate my digital scrapbook and scope out the community gallery when I’m hit with a creative block. Also, if you’ve been sitting on some shots, enter their latest Creative Call contests; the inspiration there is actually top-tier 📸

Look, I just like taking photos and drawing on things ✍️📸 This print is for anyone else who wants their walls to look intentional but also doesn't want to deal with a shipping tube and a $100 gallery markup. Grab the file, print it at the CVS down the street, and call it a day. Sunday project: officially handled 🎞️☕️

Consider this Edition 1 of a little passion project. I’m giving away free phone wallpapers on the site because, let’s be real, our lock screens deserve to look as curated as our actual spaces.

I plan to keep adding to this vault with monthly drops so we can refresh our screens with the seasons... or just whenever our vibe shifts (which, if you’re anything like me, is pretty often). No catch, no strings, just a little low-key gift from my studio to your phone.

The link is in the bio if you want to go grab a few. Let me know which one you pick! 👋🏼✨

A little history for the analog-obsessed 📸

Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was a pioneer who used the cyanotype process to capture the intricate details of nature without a camera. Swipe to learn about:

📚 The world's first photo-book (beat Talbot by 8 months!)

🧪 The literal chemistry of the blueprint

📸 Why she’s widely considered the first female photographer

She proved that a technical process doesn't have to be cold; it can be hauntingly beautiful.
