WHEN AND WHY DID YOU START BLOGGING?
i started blogging in april 2015 at the age of 12. i always loved sharing my art/photography on instagram and when i stumbled across the blogging community i felt so inspired to start my own and here i am today! ahahaa

ANY ADVICE FOR BEGINNER BLOGGERS?
This is very cliché but, post about what you love otherwise you'll find your posts aren't that good, you won't feel inspired or motivated to post and you won't be that happy with your blog and blogposts! use Social media to get your blog out there. I suggest instagram. Use it as a way to gain more blog readers and tell them whenever there's a new post up or behind the scenes etc! also, don't listen to what people have to say, don't feel as though you have to stick to a certain type of posts for your blog to be good. post about what you want and post when you want! whatever makes you the happiest yah can be.
WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE?
Nikon D3200
WORDPRESS OR BLOGSPOT/BLOGGER ?
Having had experience with both word press and blog spot, i can 100% recommend blogspot. it's free, very easy to use and very customisable. when you first start you can start with a template; i suggest ethreal or simple. then as your blog grows and you feel you'd like to make it look better, it's so easy to do! i also suggest trying to learn some HTML coding as it can come in handy.
THOUGHTS ON INSPIRATION AND COPYING?
I get this question a lot. copying and inspiration can be similar and different yah know. inspiration is beautiful, you can find it anywhere and it fills you with motivation and happiness and ahh best feeling...but copying is looking at someones photos or art and directly copying it then claiming it was your idea. it can take a while to find a style that really suits you and fills you with motivation but it's all worth it in the end. if you ever do 'copy' someones work be sure to give them credit for the idea
WHERE HAVE YOU TRAVELLED?
i am very lucky to be able to travel with my family. i have been to a few places like; fiji, around america, around Europe, around australia, New Zealand, around Asia, and around canada a few times...and many more places to go in the future!!
