photographs by sandra smart

hello there friends, feeling good today? we are starting a new week and so far so good! i have made it to my jogging right in the morning, though mr kobe was a good boy and let me sleep a little bit more than usual… even so he was crying next to me at 6.45am… and i told “oh come on! you need to sleep more!!” and there he went! so today we are going to talk about photography, one of my favourite topics in discussion, with no doubt! a few weeks ago i bumped into a lady on etsy and fell in love with her photography. everything was so dreamy… so delicate… using only pastel colours she accomplishes such a stunning result. let’s get to know a bit more about sandra…

“so here’s a little info about me. i describe my work as vintage ,sweet, delicate, joyful. having things that not many people have or appreciate anymore make me happy. all of the things i have photographed are things i have in my home and things i use on a regular basis.”

“i started taking pictures back in 2008, i took a picture of some flowers andiI just loved how i captured that shot, it looked so fresh. then i was hooked, it became a hobby and i fell in love. taking pictures of everything and everyone. things that inspire me are (treasure hunting) my weekly visits to the thrift shop and vintage store. i really love photography, my everyday hobby and i think i’m rubbing off on my daughter because she now carries her camera everywhere and takes pictures of everything just like her momma.”

“my goal is for my photography to grow. and for people who love and appreciate vintage things and photography like me to have a little piece of my art hanging on their walls. what i seek is for my photography to be loved by many people all over the world. my fear is that it won’t happen, that not too many people are going to love what i love and my work will not make it anywhere.”

so, what do you think? do you think that sandra will not make it anywhere? i believe she will make it somewhere really far, because her photography is really sweet and romantic… love those pastel shades she manages to have in each of her images… so, are you willing to explore more of sandra’s work? so browse her {etsy shop} and why not go over her {blog} as well? she has also some photo sessions with friends and family that really deserve a look!
