  • Changing up my content to a watercolor gift I did for my bestie and her nursery. I’ve been trying to do more watercolor work lately. Does anyone else find it completely satisfying?
  • . w e d d i n g c a l l i g r a p h y Summer may be my favourite time of year, but fall is my second favourite. Fall weddings are even more beautiful with the backdrop of amazing colours. @sammywaldie came to me with a bunch of blank mirrors and windows and trusted me to do my thing and allowed me be creative. I am so happy with how these signs turned out. venue @brooklands_farm planning @hollymatrimony photos @scottturnbulltookthisphoto
  • . i n v i t e d e s i g n The holiday season is the most popular time to get engaged. I did 4 years ago and it was the best Christmas ever. In honour of engagement season, I am posting my favourite invite suite of 2018. My cousin @courtneydicks and I are kindred spirits, so I knew when I was asked to design her invites it would be a breeze…and totally fun. Invite design is my favourite thing to design. Having them designed with creative and personal details will have your guests swoon. #barefootandbohostationery
  • . b l u e c r u s h w e l l n e s s . I just completed this brand for a client of mine. I love the simplicity of it. Any chance I get, I like to add hand drawn elements as well as calligraphy. This makes your brand unique and all yours.
  • new year . . . I wasn’t going to post a “new year” post. There has been a flood of them lately. Some good, some bad. But one of my goals this year is to bring my business back to where it was. So that means connecting more on here and working harder. I went into 2018 thinking it was going to be my year, I had a very hard year before and I wanted a change. I was turning 30 at the beginning of the year, applying for a new job and loving life in Muskoka. The first few months were great, I had an amazing birthday and I got that job that I worked so hard on getting. I was working hard on my business feeling more inspired. And then in May, things changed. Without going into too much detail as its not my story to tell really, my family began to go through something very difficult. This has caused me to slip into a deeper depression and spike my anxiety. I did things I regret and I wasn’t proud of. My business didn’t function to the standards I wanted it to. But as the year closed and I dreaded going into the next year, I started to tell myself something. Appreciate the beauty. This was also something a friend told me. And although I know things aren’t going to get any easier in the next while, I remind myself to appreciate the beauty and happiness that I do have. This photo of my mom and I was taken at the Elton John concert in September. One of the best experiences I had and my favourite moment of 2018. Also . . . you haven’t seen my face in a while. Hi! 🙋‍♀️

  • Hey friends! Remember me!? I’m still here, I’ve just had a lot going on for the last 11 months which is why I have been MIA from social media. Pretty photos hide real life struggles and I just want to be more real on here. In August, we bought a house and moved an hour away to my husband’s hometown. Shortly after that I started a full time job at @MuskokaBrewery that was supposed to be part time and in March I became their graphic designer. Coupled with high functioning anxiety and depression, I was beginning to crack. I had been working on getting @barefootandboho to full time status since January and continuing to keep up the same workload. Although I love my day job, I began to feel as an entrepreneur. I got completely overwhelmed when my unanswered email list grew, projects ran late, I pulled all nighters. I would panic when I would get another email from and upset client asking for an update. I feared posting new images because I thought people would think “oh she can go on social media but not reply to my emails?” All projects required complete dedication and it was beginning to weigh on me. I dreaded new projects and seemed to be tapped creatively. I needed to make changes. We have the mindset that we need to take on all projects to get better and make more money and we just go go go. That will end up catching up with you. We need to create a business that creates happiness. If that means taking on less projects and increasing your pricing, that’s awesome. For most of us, we are only one person and sometimes you need to say no. I began to pick myself up and get back on track, and I was gaining momentum. Then, five weeks ago I was rocked with some devastating news and since then I have been in a dark place coming to terms with my future. I’ve begun to be more selective with projects and having more free time. I’ve started to feel more free, happiness will take some time. @bareinkco inspired me earlier to open up about my story and struggles and showed how our amazing community is so supportive and loving. I am grateful for those who have stayed with me, my lovely friends and family and my husband for always being there. (Continued in comments)
