In the past couple of years, I've built a small collection of kitchenware that I love to use in photos. My close friends have also generously gifted me with a few pieces that they know I would never buy for myself. It's a strong reminder of their support for my pursuit in photography. In return, they know that food is to be expected at each shoot :)

Small Business Portrait: Love Lettering by Doris Wai
We sat over lunch at our go-to cafe, catching up on the busyness of summer and wedding season. Doris shared her experience and gave words of encouragement. Because she knew the feeling. She's been there.
I had the privilege of meeting Doris, the artist behind Love Lettering, when I photographed her sister's wedding a few years ago. She created all the beautiful hand-lettered pieces like the seating chart and signage.
Last year, when I was planning my own wedding, Doris designed beautiful menu cards and a math-themed, chalkboard seating chart for us. I still have that seating chart in all its glory.
What makes Doris' work stand out to me is that she's able to letter for different occasions and on all types of surfaces. I've seen her work in person and I'm always amazed at what she comes up with.
As we finished lunch, she reminded to go for it and to work hard at what I love to do because it would be worth it.

Lifestyle: Minimalist Workspace
If you live in a small home or don’t need a full office, a small worksapce is often enough.
Desk
I use a IKEA Lillasen because it’s lightweight and small. It can be moved around easily and because the back is finished, it can be placed anywhere in a room. It has 3 drawers to keep accessories organized and off the tabletop.
Lighting
The IKEA Ranarp is a thin, simple lamp with an adjustable arm and head. This lamp also comes as a floor lamp.
