day job


When I'm not in front of a sewing machine I can often be found behind a camera.


The Kent State Museum has a wonderful collection and this gown is just one of the beauties that will be shown during the upcoming Civil War exhibit. I can't wait to see everything installed!

  4. Oh how lovely! I didn't know that you work in museums. Hopefully you will be able to give us the inside scoop on corset-making :-)

  5. Do you work in a museum or are you a professional photographer? In both I would terribly, terribly envy you. How did you get there? I'd love to know, because I'm kind of in a crisis right now, on which way I should go.
    Many greetings!

  6. Hi Maelis!

    I do work in a museum and before that spent many years working as a photographer. I feel so fortunate to be able to research and work with gorgeous garments and other interesting objects. What kind of crisis are you in? I'll email you with a bit more information so I don't ramble on forever in a comment. Talk to you soon!

  7. You lucky thing! What an awesome job! Are you just the photographer, or do you research and study outfits?

    Of course, I spent 5 years working for a fabulous museum and quit just over a year ago to pursue my 'dream' job, so my envy is tinged with a bit of nostalgia and a LOT of pragmatism about the realities of museum work!

  10. The museum set up is super simple, just two flash units. The Fotodiox L-300 we use isn't bad. It's small and easy to set up and break down, has a model light, and allows control over output. Two of them should take care of most of your flash needs if your doing similar work.
