✨Cross-posting my content on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts & Pinterest — here’s what I’ve learned:

📉 My last reel flopped on IG and TikTok… kinda getting used to it lately.
📈 But it took off on YouTube Shorts with 24K views (usually I get less than 5k) 🫣
💫 Pinterest? A constant source of joy — the more I post, the better it performs.

Moral of the story:
Stop overthinking. Don’t chase algorithms. Don’t stress the strategy.
Just create, post, and keep it moving. Consistency > perfection.

How have your socials been treating you lately?

First time using Photoshop AI to create a key element in one of these shots for . Honestly, I was impressed with the result!

Commercial Photography 101: Always know where to find a Manoi flower. In Finland. In December. ❄️

Safe to say, my detective skills have leveled up since going full-time with photography.

There was a time when a request for hibiscus in January or snow in June would leave me scrambling—or even turning down projects. But not anymore. If it exists and can be delivered, trust me, I’ll find it. 🔍😉

19 donuts and 5 days of production—this was a challenge, but I’m obsessed! 🍩✨

I’m so excited to share these images! 🤩 Not gonna lie — it took a lot of wet floors, sweat, and way too many liquid-throwing attempts before everything finally clicked. But I’m so glad I didn’t give up.

Tbh, the magic happens right at that breaking point where you’re like, “Well, I don’t think I can do this anymore.” That’s where the coolest things come to life. ✨ The coolest things… or a full-on meltdown. Jk. Just the coolest things. 😆

Working with ice is always a challenge, but it’s so worth it! I’ve had so many suggestions to try faux ice as it’s definitely easier to style, but it doesn’t look the same to me.

So here I am, sticking with the real thing and getting in some extra practice. It took a while to nail down this simple setup, but I’m beyond happy with how this little passion project with turned out! 🧊✨

My Favorite Lip Products of 2024 💄✨

I meant to post this last year but got too caught up in the festivities (and, let’s be honest, a little lazy). So here we are!

Rouge Experience Lipstick in Lisa:
Three words: Refillable, fully recyclable, personalizable. Pure art in lipstick form! I had to have it, though the shade doesn’t quite suit me—guess I’ll be ordering another soon. But honestly, everything else about it is a dream.

Lip Balm in Ester Rosewood:
The perfect lip balm formula with just a hint of color. Luxurious, hydrating, and effortlessly chic.
beauty Lip and Cheek Balm in Lively Rosewood:
If it’s a rosewood shade, I’m automatically sold. This is the ultimate “my lips but better” color for me. The formula is such a surprise—it’s not greasy on the cheeks and super moisturizing on the lips. An absolute must-have.

Loveshine Lipstick in 122 Caramel Swirl:
A lightweight, unique formula that’s perfect for that summer wash of color. Effortless glam in one swipe.

(aka the classic blue chapstick):
Added this at my husband’s request, but let’s be real—when you think chapstick, you think this. Sometimes, simplicity wins!

Never thought I’d be working with oil THIS much, but here I am already tackling a second project with it—and it’s definitely a love-hate relationship. 🙃

I love how oil looks so soft and smooth compared to water and brings such a unique texture and elegance to the shots. ✨ But the prep and cleanup? Absolute chaos. 🫠🧼

Shoutout to rubbing alcohol for saving my sanity—honestly, I’m tempted to douse my entire studio in it. 🫧💦

Pro tip: If you’re working with oil, make sure there’s zero chance of it leaking—even one drop can be a disaster! 😅

Luckily, I was saved this time by the genius little hammock setup I rigged! 🙌

✨ I used to think working with water was tricky, but ice? That’s a whole new challenge❄️

If you’re thinking about trying out some DIY ice frosting at home like I did, here are a few tips you should know:

1️⃣ You can freeze and transport your ice all in the same cooler—super convenient!

2️⃣ Freezing 3 liters of water into solid, stable ice takes around 16-24 hours in a regular at-home freezer.

3️⃣ Ice is unpredictable, so you won’t have full control over how your product freezes inside. Keep an eye on it and adjust as needed for the best result.

And if you’re wondering what’s happening in the BTS clip—it’s me defrosting a tube, little by little, to get that perfect shot! 📸✨

I remember when I decided to add my first stop-motion to one of my posts back in 2019. It was a very impromptu video, but to be honest, it turned out even better than I expected and was really well received❤️

After that, I started creating stop-motions regularly, improving with each one, and eventually began offering them to my clients.

It might not be obvious to the average viewer, but even a few seconds of animation can take days (sometimes months) to plan and produce😅

Lighting, camera angles, and set design must stay consistent. Every movement is carefully planned, and every frame counts🤯

But I love the process nonetheless, from “How the hell am I suppose to do this?” to “How the hell did I do that?”. And nothing compares to the feeling of turning on an edited video and seeing everything come together exactly as I envisioned. In those moments, I feel like Walt Disney himself—not joking😂

P.S. My first stop-motion still exists here—feel free to check it out. It’s on the last slide of my post from November 14th, 2019🎞️

🧡This summer, I’ve got an opportunity to work with again and create the image like the ones I did for them 2 years ago. It was essential to match the lighting (with a different colour story), as we needed the new image to be cohesive with the rest to constitute this series.

I had some bts photos from the last shoot, and that’s the moment you realise the photos are just not enough to do this job. They capture the general positioning of the lighting sources but lack all the important info.
And then you spend hours in agony trying to figure out your own lighting scheme🥵🥵

Now, I record a video for each image with my voice saying what light is doing what and the number on each of them. Life saving. Wish I had started doing this earlier.
10/10 experience, highly recommend😎

P. S. still can’t believe this lighting is done with zero Phototshop💪
