Descanso Gardens with the Girls
We planned a last minute girls day to the Descanso Gardens on Saturday. I had not been since probably 6th grade and was glad to see all the pretty flowers and greenery, especially after all the rain! SO happy to have had a girls day with these ladies taking photos and creating some good memories. Enjoy the photos. xo

Dreamy Sun // First Film Photoshoot
Hey friends, long time no see! I got a film camera a couple weeks ago and had a photoshoot with my friend Julia so I can test out the camera, but also practice and have fun at the same time. We went to my usual spot, Chumash Trail, and I snapped shots in the luscious green fields (thanks to the rain!!). It’s so nice to see that the place isn’t so dead anymore (in the photos they do look yellow, but trust me it was so green and fresh!). Julia is such a natural in front of the camera and I’m so glad I met her this year (our last year…

‘Tis the Season
Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas is here and I am super stoked! I love those cold nights listening to christmas music in the car to drinking hot cocoa at home in a cozy blanket watching cheesy Hallmark movies. This season is gonna be bittersweet cause it is the last Christmas break I will look forward to in high school. I have been into hand lettering ever since my freshman year of high school and it has changed my handwriting in the best way #thankful. I have watched many of those Instagram videos of people writing a Bible verse or a cute little phrase and it is so fun to see how it’s…

Finding Inspiration
Finding inspiration nowadays is a hit or miss. There are so many highs and lows that come with it. Sometimes it’s the little things that can inspire you and for me today it was a brand new leather notebook and blanket scarf (i know, really random). The light was just right and I decided to whip my camera out and snap a few pictures. Thanksgiving is coming up in a few short days and I thought that these pictures were really festive! I played around with different layouts of random items, rearranging a few things, and getting different angles for pictures! There are so many different ways to be inspired! One of…

Sparklers
Hello dear friends! I just realized how important it is to blog (especially it being my last year of high school). I hate taking a long break in between blogposts, but it will be a personal challenge for me to blog at least once a week. My blogiversary is also coming soon up! Tonight I had a spontaneous photoshoot with myself because I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time! I’ve had these sparklers for almost a year and have been itching to take pictures with them. I tried many shapes and here is the end result… I hope you enjoy them! I am so glad I finally…

Birthday Bonanza
Hello friends! A few weeks back it was my 17th birthday and my family and I celebrated. I love adventuring and we definitely did exactly that. The first adventure of the day was buying macarons. It was a treat because I usually make my own, but this time I got to choose already made ones with a variety of flavors. Our second thing on the to-do list was lunch at a Japanese BBQ place in the mall. I wanted to go to a place like that and I’m so grateful I did! (FYI if you didn’t know already Japanese/Korean BBQ is when you cook the meat yourself on a grill that is…

My First Baseball Game Ever!
Last Wednesday I went to the Dodger Stadium and watched the LA Dodgers play against the Arizona Diamondbacks. I had never been to the Dodger Stadium before and was shocked at how big it was! I never realized that part of it was open (you can clearly see the baseball field from the parking lot). I’m such a newbie at baseball and am not a sporty person so that could explain why I don’t really understand it much. Even though most of the time I didn’t understand what was going on I still had a great time! Major league baseball games keep the crowd entertained and that was my favorite part. There was…

Pasadena & Urth Caffe
Last week (Labor Day) my family and I went to Pasadena to put another check on my bucket list. We went to the outdoor mall there and ate dinner. I got fish and chips and it was pretty good! Afterwards my siblings got ice cream from Cold Stone but I opted out because we planned on going to Urth Caffe and I wanted to save my appetite. I love the details and vibe of this place. The color of the mosaics and the scenery are just so beautiful. It’s a casual place, but also fun to study or have a meeting as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Urth is such a lively…

Girls go to Palms Springs // #throwback
Hey guys, I wanted to share with you guys what I did when I went to Palm Springs during my freshman year. At this time I remember being stressed out when we got home from this trip because I didn’t finish my homework and I didn’t want to go to school because of it… Those were the days 😜. I think I didn’t go, but I am not exactly sure. I took my new Fujifilm Instax 8 and took some pictures with that too! I remember this resort being so beautiful! I mean look at the palm trees and architecture! On the way to palm springs we took a mini cooper…
