This is a story about my girlfriend doing what she loves – and that is sewing! She has been creating and selling lanyards for a few months now, and her little business has really taken off. I have enjoyed watching her progress and am excited to share this story with you!
While taking these pictures, not only was it cloudy but it was around 8pm so I didn’t have much light to work with. I had to keep the ISO high for all of the photos. I felt there were a lot of nice things to capture in the limited space I had on a back deck. I am becoming better with quickly adjusting my settings when I need to, and generally having a better eye for things.

My girlfriend, Julia has been getting into sewing. So far, she has sewn her first quilt, she’s sewn pillow shams, and is now sewing lanyards. She has developed a passion for sewing and creating and I’ve enjoyed watching her progress. Lately, she’s been selling lanyards as a way to make some extra cash and she has made an impressive amount of money in a short amount of time.
I’ve taken some pictures of her, her sewing, and the lanyards she’s created to capture the process of creating something she’s passionate about and how that isn’t always going to be easy. My favorite picture is the one of her sitting next to the sewing machine with her head rested in the palm of her hand. In that moment, she was flustered as her sewing machine wasn’t working properly and she couldn’t understand why. After some encouragement, she was back at it.
