Inspiration

What inspires you? or who?

A lot of times I get "stuck" in creative ruts, where no matter how hard I try I can not get inspired. It could last an hour or months. Thankfully the longest I've gone is about a month or two. But there are SO many creative individuals out there that it's hard for me to stay in those ruts.

Here's a list of some people who inspire me:


I had the chance to intern with Sarah Barlow in October. First of all, SHE IS NUTS! But in a good way of course. She is such an amazing person. You know how they say that certain people shine with Gods light? That's her! She lights up a room in .5 seconds! She is also an amazing photographer. Her images are breath taking and so original. I highly recommend that you check her out if you haven't already.


Elsie runs Red Velvet Art with three other crafty ladies! Her blog is always full of super inspiring posts, from fun colors to easy DIYs. I highly suggest that you follow her blog if you aren't already! This lady and the other girls of RVA have inspired me countless times.



Ben Blood is an AMAZING photographer based in Seattle. I came across his website about a year ago. ALL of his images are amazing, every single one! I love that when I see a photo of his, I automatically know who took it without even seeing his name. I think it's important to have a solid style, and he definitely does! I always say that I want to have eight photographers at my wedding because I know I won't be able to make up my mind. He would be one of them for sure!



Britt Nicole is a Christian musician. I've never really been that big into "Christian music" just because I felt like it was all the same. But her songs are FUN! and uplifting! It's really good music to dance around to and just act crazy while still giving praise. You don't have to go to church to worship, just turn it up in your room and have fun!


There are so many more people/places who inspire me; my best friend, my family, Anthropologie catalogs, Lemon Jitters, New Orleans, Nashville, Once Wed, The Boudoir Divas, just to name a few :)

I recommend that you check out all of these people if you ever find yourself stuck in a rut :)
