Finally editing some more of my Hawaii photography! I’m just really in love with the colors in these photos. The way the silver tones of her hair tie into the clouds and the pinks and purples in her swimsuit tie into the lighting around the clouds and on the water from the sunset are just gorgeous! I absolutely love when cools and warms can come together like this. ☺️

Self-shot on a beautiful morning in Newport Beach. 💖
Truth be told, this is one of my very favorite looks on myself. Very natural, easy, breathable. I feel like me, and still have a little spunk. ☺️

Stayed in a cute hotel the last couple nights, so naturally had to get a couple cute pics!
Hope you’re all doing well today. 💗

My first time doing photography in years, and it reignited a passion! 🤩
It probably helped a lot that Sabina is soooo easy to photograph. Her posing is on point, she knows her angles, and she had super cute bikinis.
Spending so much time with her was truly the saving grace of that weekend working. Everything was so heavy and anxiety-inducing with the work portion of that trip, but the time we got to hang out was so rad. She’s really a remarkable woman. ❤️

One of the sets that I just realized didn’t post last month, so you’ll get extras this month! And some of them will be of my photography! 😃
Bonus on this set - Sabina Kelley shot these for me! ☺️ And the next ser coming is what I shot and edited of her. ❤️
These were shot after our last day of work, and we hauled ass to get hair and makeup done on her and Cat Catastrophe, then we rushed to this lava rock beach and caught the sunset for some photos. The sa...

Remember when that was such a bummer to get for Christmas and birthdays? Probably wouldn’t have been of them skivvies were fun and colorful! 😂
I’m obsessed with socks, in case you didn’t know. I’ve actually always wanted to shoot a project that was all focused on socks. You should see my collection … it’s insane. And I’ve been obsessed recently with these high waisted thongs too. They’re so comfy and I love them colors I got them in!

Oh my gooooodnesssss it felt good to get dressed up together! 🤩 The girls made a special appearance thanks to a special bra. 😂 I might have to talk JD (and let’s be real, myself too) into dressing up more often. The actual event part of the wedding… idk. Not so sure about that. Felt weird being around so many people. It’s been fine when I go out occasionally to a bar because I don’t have to talk to anyone, but weddings are more intimate and part of me feels I’ve lost the small...

I don’t know what it is about self-shot sets, but it allows me to connect with myself in such a unique way.
If I’m being honest, I get kind of nervous with photographers now! Like I forgot how to pose or something. (I didn’t, in case you’re concerned. Lol) It’s odd because I’m only nervous initially, and it’s not even nerves necessarily. It’s more so that I think I’ve seen so many photographers get weird over the years (models too! And makeup artists/hair stylist...

I am so sorry that my live chat did not go as planned today. I changed it to a later time in case we weren’t done with the hike by noon once I realized that it might run late, and then I had service to start at one for just a few minutes and then it went away.
However! I will make up for it. That was ridonculous.

More Hawaii action!
This house was so stinking cute. It’s the same property that had the steam vents, which you can book below where I’ll list all the photo details.
I want to start including more travel tips here so I’ll start listing more details on the locations in case any of you want to check these places our for yourselves. ❤️

I’m spending a few days in Laguna/Newport for some early birthday celebrations and a commercial. Today is the commercial and then bday stuff tomorrow.
I’m very much looking forward to beach time + seeing some of my gal pals! I work again Saturday then I am going to try to leave early Sunday to go home, but I work pretty late on Sat. Since it’s Labor Day weekend, if I’m not on the road by 7 am on Sunday it’s probably going to be a nightmare getting to Vegas so I’d wait to le...

I don’t think I’ve ever uploaded a set with so many photos! I think I’m going to do it more though. Now that I’m editing skin and makeup less, it’s easier to post more because the editing doesn’t take as long.
My friend, Amanda, took these while we were in Hawaii. Our Airbnb was on a property with steam vents from the volcano, so that’s where all the steamy fog is coming from! 🤩
Also didn’t edit my half-out single underboob upon your suggestions. 😆
2021-09-01 05:34:07 +0000 UTC View Post
So so excited to start editing these! 🤩🤩🤩
Most of these will be for Sept./Oct. but I’ll get at least one in the sets for Aug so they’ll be posted tonight or tomorrow.
(None of these are edited yet and they’re just screenshots from Dropbox, so they might be a bit fuzzy.)
Also not completely decided on the shower set as to how much I’m going to post of that one since they’re all naked and very few are implied. We shall see how I feel when the time comes! 2021-08-29 22:38:01 +0000 UTC View Post
I’m editing some of my photosets from Hawaii and I’ll be damned if my boob wasn’t hanging out more than of this set. 😂
I’m so thankful my friend was willing to take some many pics of me, and I am seeing now the difference of working with people who shoot often bc… well, weird single underboob.
So my question to you is, do I edit it to look more normal or leave it?
The photographer in me wants to fix it, but I want to see your thoughts...

This pandemic has taught me many things, mainly that I really don’t like being high maintenance any more. I barely wear makeup and can’t even commit to keeping my hair pink all the time. 😂
I don’t hate the strawberry blonde though! Might keep it this way for a bit.

Oh me oh my this room has been dirty for far too long!
I’m still unpacking from Hawaii. Granted, I was sick for a a few days, but come on. I’ve had around 10 days at home since then. 😂
Gonna schedule some live chats and post more pics today and tomorrow! 🎉

I recently bought some high waisted thongs from a company after receiving one and a goodie box they had a few months ago.
Sometimes I forget just how high these thongs go.
Do you see that little strip of green around my stomach? That would be the thong…sticking up higher than my high-waisted bike shorts. (Oh god…I am wearing the shit my mom used to wear! -long bike shorts, not thongs showing. Lol)
Anyhow… I decided I didn’t hate the way it looks and it’s just gonn...

Okay, so I was not particularly stoked on coming to the Big Island. I’ve never been before and everything I read was talking about how it’s great for exploring and adventure, whereas I wanted R&R.
I want to live here.
Maybe not full time, but like…part time? Seasonal?
I am in love with this island. I have to say that with having only been to Maui and Oahu before, this place is my fave. When I’m back next time, IT IS ON!

I’ve fallen into a pretty nice groove with how I spend my time. When I’m in LA, I work about half the days I’m there and the other days I get to just enjoy the other people in the house or doing things around the area. When I’m at home, since I’m not really doing freelance jobs anymore, I get to enjoy the hell out of my time in the house! And obviously, that usually include me being naked or close to it most of the time.
This was my last full day at home and I’m pretty sure...

I was working on another Photoset to post, but this one got me real excited so it’s coming first!
I shot this with my friend, Alan Stephens, while in Amarillo last week and he got it all edited so fast. 🙌🏻 Obviously we went for a bit of a Barbarella theme. 😉

This is the first time I’ve ever done a set with no makeup. Actually, no hair styling either! I literally woke up and dug the messiness of my hair, so I threw on these pieces I brought to Big Bear with me and set the timer on my phone. I had such a great time shooting these. It was the first time in quite a while that I was really feeling myself. ☺️

Instead of going to Amarillo for Father’s Day, my brother and I decided to bring my dad and stepmom to Denver for weekend! They’ve been dying to get out of town and it was so nice to get a few days with them.
We also got to finally meet my brother’s boyfriends’ family, and we spend a couple days with them too, which was the icing on the cake. This pic below is fro...

Feels like it anyhow. 😂 I’ve been trying to finish organizing my closet room since last Sunday and it feels like I’ve made zero progress when I look at it. I did manage to reorganize a bunch of drawers and fold things that had previously just been thrown in to their places, so at least that feels good.
How is everyone? Anyone have anything exciting happen in May? Any plans for June?
I have 3 trips to LA this month, and will also be going to Denver for 4 days to see my dad ...

I’ve purged my closet so many times this last year and am about to do it again as I clean it up. I find it fascinating how as I clean up my inner world (inside myself - thoughts and behaviors) it reflects in my outer world too.
Feels good to finally have time at home to do this!
Anyone else in this constant state of change this last year? I feel like every 2-3 months I have to somewhat reinvent myself. 😂

I can’t even tell you how much fun I had shooting this set! This was after I had worked a 13 hour day doing make up and hair in Big Bear a little over a month ago. I had seen this wig earlier in the day as one of the girls pulled it out to shoot with. Once I got a chance to look around the cabin and see how incredible all this old wallpaper was, I decided I wanted to at least do a quick little photoset on my phone.
I had on no makeup, didn’t want to take off my mask (because I was w...
