Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2025! I hope your year is off to a peaceful and inspiring start. After the joyful whirlwind of the holidays, this first week of the new year has been refreshingly calm. It’s been the perfect time to slow down, reset, and ease into new routines.
I’ve been spending most of my week doing something I absolutely love—editing and submitting new work to the photography stock agencies I contribute to. It’s a satisfying process to review the images I’ve taken, fine-tune them, and prepare them for publication. Whether it’s serene landscapes, interesting textures, or fleeting moments of light, each image finds its way into the collections I share on platforms like Cavan Images and iStock.
If you’re curious to explore some of the recent work I’ve uploaded, you can take a peek here:

I also kicked off the year with something creative and community-driven—the 2025 52 Week Photography Challenge. Each week brings a new prompt designed to spark creativity, stretch your skills, and help you document your year through photos. It’s not too late to join in!
This week’s theme is: Outside!
Step outdoors and photograph whatever catches your eye—textures on tree bark, reflections in puddles, shifting winter light, or anything else that inspires you.
Make sure to share your images and tag them with #MSP52PhotoChallenge so others can follow along and join the fun.
Wishing you a beautiful, creative start to the year. More photo inspiration, print releases, and challenges coming soon!
