Hey guys! Todays video is all about getting the perfect picture for Instagram + life! I get so many comments about how I edit my instagram [which Ive filmed and linked here] but also how to TAKE great pictures for instagram!
This video is going to be all of my tips on how to look great in every picture / how to always look good in photos! These tips will help you be more confident when youre taking pictures! Whether or not youre trying to start a blog, want to up your instagram game or if you just want to be more confident in group photos- these tips are sure to help you :)
Ive been working on camera the last 5 years / have done tv segments with E! News, E! Online, HLN, Access Hollywood, Mode, etc and these are some of the tricks Ive learned in my time on camera!
These are the actual tricks I use when I am shooting pictures for and editing my instagram! These tips are not about how to do your makeup or what products you need to buy- these are all posing tips and little tweaks that will ensure that you take the best photos possible!
I also work with brands to creatively direct post for their social media outlets. These are some of the secrets Ive learned throughout the last few years on how to take great still life photos + product shots!
1. POSE WITH THE WEIGHT ON YOUR BACK LEG
Posing with your weight on your back leg takes most of you away from the camera- leaving you to look longer and slimmer on camera. It also forces your body into a more flattering position!
2. THE LONG LEG
When youre posing with your weight on your back leg, extend your front leg in front or to the side of you. This makes you look taller and slimmer on camera! This photo trick also works while you are sitting!
3. TAKE THE PERFECT PHOTO IN ONE TRY
If Im going somewhere that I know my photo will be taken, I will check in the mirror before hand to see what angles I like my outfit / look best at. Ill take note of where everything is positioned so that way I remember the pose to do!
4. GETTING STRANGERS TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE
You guys always ask me on instagram just HOW I get my uber drivers to take my photo- I usually ask them and tell them that I like to document my trips [bc Im at the airport when this is happening] and theyve all been really cool about it! They only take about 1 or 2 shots though, so thats why its best to practice before hand!
5. INSTAGRAM SURFACES
Turn anything into an instagram surface to shoot products on. Marble tables, blankets, rugs- anything with an interesting texture that looks cozy on camera! I like to shoot things on top of these interesting surfaces: flowers, perfumes, etc.
6. MARBLE PAPER
You can have the aesthetic you want even if you cant afford an actual marble table. I bought my marble paper on amazon here: http://rstyle.me/n/cd8w75ntp6 [if this one is sold out just search matte marble adhesive]
7. SHOOT FLAT LAYS WITH AN ANGLE
Have an angle running through your product photo- I like to lay either a blanket or a furry seat cover going through the photo with the products on top. This gives the photo a sense of motion and feels more natural!
8. HAVE THINGS GOING OUT OF FRAME
Photos of food, products, flowers etc look more natural if there are things going out of frame. You dont want your photos to appear staged, so dont have them perfectly arranged within the square.
9. SHOOT FULL LENGTH PHOTOS WITH ANGLES
You can still make a plain wall look interesting in your grid by shooting the picture at an angle. It will give motion and direction to your grid instead of shooting the picture straight on!
10. WHEN IN DOUBT: POST FLOWERS
Break up your grid with some flowers! You can seriously buy one bouquet of flowers and get like 10 different pictures and just post them when you dont know what else to post. Take an overhead photo of the flowers when youre walking, take an up close photo to show off the details. You can also go to flower mart / grocery store and take photos of flowers without even buying them!

Hey guys!
In todays video I share with you guys an update on my postpartum depression, how Kennedy has been the last four months, a milestone moment for her as we try baby food for the first time, run errands for our first family vacation and what a typical night routine with a baby looks like.
Todays video is a vlog I filmed from a day in my life with a baby. I realized that I used to vlog a ton while I was pregnant, but I hadnt vlogged since Kennedy was born. To be honest, I really felt weird about vlogging ever since because I think I was going through postpartum depression. I was really struggling and I felt like no one would care or want to watch anything that I had to share, so I didnt. Thankfully Im starting to feel a little bit better, but I wanted to come back and update you all on how Ive been and how Kennedy has been since my last personal video!
If you are struggling with depression or postpartum depression, I highly encourage you to reach out and seek help! Definitely try to talk to someone about what you are going through- it helps so much.
Also- this is only a 14 minute peek into one of our days. There were tons of moments I didnt film [ie every time I changed Kennedys diaper or fed her, which happens about 8 times a day] so just know that obviously this is not everything that happens in a day with a baby!
So many of you have been requesting longer videos, so I heard you and I hope that you like this video. If you do, please let me know by giving this video a thumbs up and by leaving a comment. I do not get anything if you do any of these things except insight into what type of content you like to watch!

hey guys!
This is my first time doing a one year update home tour video on youtube because Ive never lived in a place for longer than one year in the entire time that Ive been making videos. How crazy is that?!
I moved into this downtown loft last year + showed you guys when the empty apartment tour / room tour right when I moved in as well as my office tour / when I moved my furniture around / moved my bed room upstairs but I havent shown you it all together /how its been decorated or how its been finished! I always have more projects in mind, but for now this space is pretty much how I plan on keeping it. Most of the furniture in here Ive had for the last few years [I only purchase pieces that I truly enjoy / want to invest in so I can re use them for years and apartments to come] I added on this year with the addition of my office space / new desk area, but other than that most of the pieces I have Ive continued to use.
