When you are out to breakfast and find a new dead thing to take home đ #artistlife #prettydeadthings #butterfly #foundobjectsart -
My little family is making our dream come true and finally moving to Northern California! I was born in the Bay Area but have lived in Nebraska since 2nd grade. We are so excited for this adventure!!! Now to decide which camera(s) to bring on the trip! #roadtrip #moving #adventure #goingbacktocali #california -
I was looking at this little cutie today. It is a fruit bat skeleton that I bought off eBay a couple years ago. One of my favorite subjects for photograms! In fact I got this guy for my Alchemy project, which was a portfolio of 20 photograms developed in a homemade caffenol-C developer (Swipe for a screenshot of that image)! #artfromdeadthings #bones #weirdart #batsarecute #bat #skeleton #analogphotography #caffenol #photogram #darkroomphotography #fineartphotography -

To celebrate this charming young ladyâs birthday I made a DIY sun print kit for her and taught her how to make cyanotypes, and she made this very funny face with sequins and a feather đ #coolneice #coolaunt #handmadegiftsarethebest #artgifts #alternativephotography #cyanotype #sunprint -
It was a joy to visit @centralcameraco this morning. I managed not to give them all my money, but it was hard. If youâre in #chitown I highly recommend giving it a visit. They ship too! #filmisnotdead #filmcameras #photostore #camerastore -

Stopped by the olâ stomping grounds...it felt very strange. It has been almost a year since I quit working as a lab tech at MCC and I miss it so much. Best job I ever had! I am so thankful for the experience and knowledge this place gave me, but I feel ready for new adventures and learning more about myself as I make this huge scary awesome transition (moving from NE to CA)!! â¤ď¸đđť #photolab #mccphoto #dreamjob #labtechforhire #iwillmissthisplace #communitycollege #alwayslearning #becomeyourbestself -
So thankful for @saramcneillyammon for getting me back in the darkroom today (it had been a while)! This is one of the outtakes from our printing session today. It looks trippy because it was an underdeveloped, un-fixed test print that I scrapped. After turning on the lights I quickly dumped some fixer on it, because it seemed like a fun thing to do, resulting in the swirls and odd coloration you see here! It is entirely possible that this print will continue to change since it was not properly fixed. Thatâs the fun of it! #experimentalphotography #darkroommagic #darkroomprint #temporaryart #collaboration -
Itâs been awhile since I posted art stuff. Iâve been thinking about my grandma Eleanor lately, and I made these photos in memory of her after she passed. Hand applied emulsion on sliced cedar. You can see the full not cropped version on my website-link in bio! #silvergelatinprint #alternativephotography #handmadeart #artonwoodslices -
If you happen to get the Borsheims catalog in the mail, youâll get to see these shoots I worked on! I canât take all the credit, it was definitely a collaborative effort between us photographers and the marketing team. P.S. The last image is the cover of the Spring catalog and is just for reference, I did not contribute to it in any way. :) #catalogphotography #productphotography -
Photographed these multi-colored diamond and rose gold hoops the other day. Easter bunny approved! #coloreddiamonds #fancydiamonds #hoopearrings #diamondjewelry #jewelryphotography #inthestudio #productphotography #easter #colorful #browndiamonds #yellowdiamonds #pinkdiamonds -
More incredible jewelry in the studio today! Anyone wanna guess retail value on this ring?? 5.71 ct center diamond, near colorless (G) with a clarity rating of VS2 #jewelryphotographer #jewelrylover #photostudio #productphotographer #diamondjewelry -
Shot this magnificent Ruby (5.29 ct) and diamond ring today....This ring is worth about 12 times what I make in an entire year. I should probably be paid more. #jewelryphotographer #gemstonejewelry #diamondjewelry #rubyring #inthestudio #gemlover #finejewelry -
More alexandrite!! Iâm obsessed. #jewelrylover #jewelryphotographer #gemstonejewelry #gorgeous #natural #alexandrite #obsessed #sorrynotsorry -
FINALLY got my hands on some #alexandrite and had a blast photographing it at work this week! This pair of stunning Alex + diamond halo earrings was one of my favorites. The image on the left is shot in studio light (white LED) while the one on the right is a combination of studio +incandescent light, showing the color change from green-blue to red-purple! Awesome, right?! #colorchanging #naturalstones #amazingnature #gemstonejewelry #jewelryphotography #jewelryphotographer #naturalmagic #diamondjewelry #cooljob -

Hereâs a close-up and better print...shot on my Argus 75, expired Kodak Tri-X 400 120 film I like the hazy/soft focus look! @fontenelleforest fontenelleforest -
In the darkroom today, printing from a roll of expired 120 film I shot at @fontenelleforest during the fogapocalypse last weekend! This test print is too dark but Iâm happy to see I caught some of the hazy mystery of Nebraska weather! #filmisnotdead #fog #expiredfilm #kodakfilm #kodaktrix400 #120film #mediumformatfilm #naturephotos #darkroom -
Working on something new...and Iâm really excited despite feeling pretty vulnerable because 1) this is digital and I rarely share digital work and 2)this is kind of a ârough draftâ as I am still working out my concept for this series of images. I also might go a different direction with the lighting...and I think it could be too âbusyâ...not sure what is compelling me to share this actually đ đ¤ˇđťââď¸ #workinprogress #barewithme #tryingsomethingnew #newproject #floraldesign #digitalphotography #mementomori #deadflowers #studiophotography #deadflowersareprettytoo #gerberdaisy #tulip #sweetheartroses #caspedia #driedflowers -
