An Inexpensive Way To Upgrade Your Insta Feed: Photo Hack

August 30, 2021

A fun and inexpensive way to add a little spice 🌶 to your photos! I did this with fairy lights which are smaller than standard Christmas lights, but I bet those would work too!

First, I did a quick test to see what the depth of field would look like by scotch taping one end of the string lights to the side of my lens:

You can even do this with your phone camera. For the final project we chose a time that had more daylight, it worked out better with a friend to help by holding one end of the string lights in front of the camera for all the dreamy bokeh you can stand.

No music, no fancy edits, no class. Just a little No music, no fancy edits, no class. Just a little gracious outside silks training with my good friends at @iflytrapeze. I love it here. 
There’s something about being outside in the fresh air up on the aerial silks. And for me being able to experience this place in a whole new way. Today I decided to revisit a few older sequences and piece them together. I’m still not quite getting the arm switch after the split because I feel like I don’t have a great grip, but there’s always next time. 

As for how my elbow and my joints are doing? Bizarrely able to support my weight. It’s things like picking up a water bottle (?) or wrapping my leg for a ‘catchers’ that gives me the ouchy zings, so I’ve been working around that as best as I can . . Rheumatology appointment on Monday!

Congratulations Paulie & Laura! 🎉🍾 When Paul Congratulations Paulie & Laura! 🎉🍾
When Paulie reached out about photographing his surprise proposal at the breathtaking Planting Fields Arboretum, I was beyond excited—
and a little nervous (I’m terrible at keeping secrets!).

We pulled off what might go down as one of the most epic surprise proposals ever.
I may not have actually worn a fake mustache while hiding in the bushes (😂),
but the real surprise? About 30 friends and family secretly gathered nearby to witness this unforgettable moment.

Cheers to the beautiful couple! It was such a joy to spend time with you and your incredible circle. 🥂💍✨

Back when phone cameras were blurry, here’s a little time capsule showcasing Beatstocks from years past: ‘06-‘10.  Back when I was a teen sensation 🤣 Do you recognize anyone in these shots?

We’re back 15 years later ready to make some more memories. Who’s in? 🙋‍♀️
