Etsy Find: IS Photography

Today's Etsy find is from Irene Suchoski of IS Photography. While researching sellers for this article, I originally planned on writing about letterpress or other paper goods. Then I came across this lovely notecard with the perfect message: Follow your bliss. I stopped dead in my tracks. So although this post was meant to be about paper goods I felt I had to write about her work. (See my next post about exclusively paper items.)The following description about Irene and her work says it best:
Faithfully capturing a scene is less important to me than finding that little bit of mystery or evoking a certain mood. I like to explore the ethereal, the surreal, the whimsical, the mysterious, and the beautiful. I enjoy creating little poems for the eyes.


Looking through her shop, there are so many beautiful images. Her "dreams" take many forms - from a cute notecard to a 8 x 10 print or even as a piece of jewelry.


As I look through her pieces, I immediately want to buy them to put up on my wall as inspiration. Her prints are touching and deep but so light and soft. What's also great is that these wouldn't set me back tons of dough. I can afford to buy one or two or three without feeling guilty about the money I spent. Now, what's better than that?
