E Tyler Photography

A photographer deals with constant pressure to keep being creative and different for each and every session they do.  Photographers do a lot of different things to stay “fresh”, from doing different types of photography  (landscape vs. portraits) to studying other artwork, etc.  I take a different approach. When I am needing a new perspective, I put down the camera (gasp!) and look to other creative outlets. I’ve dabbled in pretty much everything, I used to be a decent artist back in the day (as opposed to the stick figures I draw now!), I’ve made jewelry, I bake cookies, pretty much anything I can do with my hands.

Lately, my creative needs have gone back to sewing. Fortunately, I have a daughter who doesn’t care whether I can sew a straight line or not. Here is my latest attempt:

There is something so satisfying about making something with your own hands. It also makes me appreciate all the dresses my mom and grandma made me and all the dresses my mother-in-law makes for my daughter- they are pros compared to my sewing abilities. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather!
