When I was in Idaho last month, I spent a glorious morning/afternoon with my friend, Kaitlyn. We got Dutch Bros., visited our friends‘ yard sale, thrifted, and eventually stopped at an elementary school in the North End for some photos. I’ve been photographing Kaitlyn for years (she makes it easy) and I’m not planning on stopping any time soon. By the way, you can keep up with my photography on Facebook!

It’s the best day of the year! I will be sharing free downloadable desktop, iPad, and iPhone backgrounds every month from now on! The first one is inspired by Treat Yo Self, which is probably my favorite scene/episode ever of Parks and Recreation (my favorite TV show). You can download and save the images to your desktop.
Clothes! Fragrances! Massages! Mimosas! Fine leather goods!
P.S. I resurrected this Tumblr. I will be posting music + my photography and design work. Follow along if you’d like!

For my Typography final, we were assigned an alcohol and a brand name and were to create new labeling and packaging. I was given “Old Man jagermeister” and was challenged to change the frat boy perception of jagermeister to something a little more classy.
We were only allowed to use type and/or letting for our project. It was a difficult challenge at first, but I was really happy with how it came out. I got a piece of white vinyl cut for the label and went simple and printed the packaging and label on newsprint. I realized while I was working on Loil and this project is that I adore branding + packaging. Challenging, but so fun!

Now that I’ve back to “full-time” blogging I decided to re-evaluate how I handle advertising on I Just Might Explode. I’ve always struggled with how to monetize this blog to cover the costs of hosting and compensate myself for the time I spend on it while adequately servicing both my readers and my advertisers. I have decided to do-away with sponsor round-up posts (most people skim or skip over them) and offer one cheap banner-only option for $5 (may be raised in the future). Sarah from Silly Grrl offers this option and I think it’s a good one. I’m still keeping 2-3/month “Featured Ads” for $35 which include the banner + one post each (which is organically written and directed by me). I want to keep working with great businesses and blogs and offering them the exposure they pay for while still making this place a transparent, genuine, and interesting place to visit as a reader and I think this is the best way to do it. If you’re interested in advertising, you can visit my advertising page and purchase right from there. Passionfruit makes the process seamless and super easy.
Thanks for reading and for sticking around. Love you all.

A few months ago my friend Beth expressed interest into doing some boudoir-ish photos and so I told her next time I was in town, I would take them! I had never done photos like this before, but was so fun! It certainly doesn’t hurt that Beth is stunning and super easy to photograph.
