Interview this morning!

Goood morning!

Hope you’re all feeling fine and dandy today. ☺️ I’m back in LA after a very quick trip home. It was supposed to be three days,

but was cut to two since I had to come back for a last-minute interview this morning.

I’m being pitched for a TV show that I am super excited about and it went really well! I am hoping we hear some thing about it next week. So far it has had tons of great feedback and is moving quicker than normal. Fingers are crossed for ...

Neon Leopard Photoset

I had SO MUCH FUN shooting this set! It was the first time I’d really felt “back in my groove” and it felt great to be with a photographer who had a great vibe so I could be more comfortable. I’m really looking forward to shooting more with Erin. 🙌🏻

Weekend in Big Bear

This weekend has been wonderful. Earlier in the week, I got a request to fill in as a makeup artist for a photoshoot event with Kat Attack photography. I was both excited and a bit nervous as I haven’t done glamour makeup in a very long time. I’m not super fast with makeup as is, and doing 8 girls hair + makeup in one day is... a lot of pressure. 😅 I’d intended to practice on Linda and a friend, but was too busy with work so I went into it having not done that kind of makeup on other...

Vasquez Rocks Photoshootin’

We had a wonderful time up at Vasquez Rocks, just outside of LA. The weather was perfect, we were in some beautiful nature, and it was a rad little group all taking behind the scenes pics of each other.

Play time in nature is the best time!

New Photoset! - Rollin’ Through

Man oh man, I had such a blast yesterday shooting with Erin. She already edited quite a few and here is the first set! 😃

Gosh it feels good to not have to edit all this myself! 🙌🏻

For once, the mess is not me!

Okay, I’m not always a mess, but I felt like once for the most part the last few years. Per this photo, you can clearly see that the mess is my closet that is being reorganized. 🙈

Today was anything but mess. It was full of creativity and I AM LOVING IT! I had a first shoot with a photographer and it went great. I love her energy and we got in three looks, this one pictured being the last. It was so much fun to get back to what makes me happy - playing dress up and moving my body! ...

Is this what we call a spiritual awakening?

Who knows! But what I do know, is I feel renewed and have a zest for being creative again, and that feels SO GOOD! It was easier for me to make a video than type all of it out, so hopefully you’ll watch/listen on this YouTube link. 💗

This video is for all patrons, so you know where things are going here. I’m finally feeling excited to shoot more often, with less thought about what other people think or want. ☺️

Playtime!

This photo set feels perfect for where I’m at mentally right now. I’m incorporating more play time into my life because I’m realizing how much it helps me feel better. The play time I’ve been missing is doing photoshoots, so I’m setting up some shoots with new photographers in an attempt to find some people I can be comfortably creative with. I like shooting on my own sometimes, but I often feel overwhelmed when I try to do it all, so time to find some new play pals! 📸

It’s been a long time

Since I have really “felt myself,” as they say. Today, the lighting at the hotel was amazing, I loved my hair, my “outfit” and was just feeling like 🔥 so I took some sexy selfies and ended with this. The shits i took before this were nude which I haven’t done in SO LONG! I don’t know if I’ll post those down the road or not, but my gosh, it just felt good to feel free to pose like that and feel worthy of taking a picture.

I’ve really been working on getting my power ba...

Two things can be true at once

This was taken Wednesday, while I was enjoying the glow in my skin and feeling overall pretty good.

Tuesday afternoon I had a gnarly depressive episode, but journaled and felt better by Wednesday morning. I felt like the glow in my skin reflected the hope I have inside. It’s been nice to be able to identify my feelings so much faster and process them healthier. I feel pain more now, the same as I feel joy more. The biggest difference now is that I don’t feel hopeless when the depre...

Getting Off This Rollercoaster

Man… I am on the brink of burning out.

But good news! I now know what to do when I feel that coming and I’m doing what I need to do to prevent it!

I’ve been working like crazy for the last couple of weeks and ME NO LIKEY! I promised myself that I wouldn’t get back to that point of being busy like I had been before the pandemic. I was really unhappy for a couple of years, largely because the pace we were keeping wasn’t healthy for me. Since so much of our work got cancele...

Well Spoke-in

This shoot was so much fun, but was also incredibly stressful for me and I’ll tell you why. About half of you are going to understand how it was hard and the other half are going to be able to relate!

I can’t remember why we had flown to Amarillo for this trip, but I’m guessing it was just to see family. Might have been for Thanksgiving or Christmas. I went straight from the ai...

Flashback Friday photoset- She Shines So Bright

Looking back at this photoset is interesting. I remember being very excited over the beautiful lingerie I had to choose from for my wardrobe, but being torn at the same time because it was “super sexy“ and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to post the photos. Obviously I knew I “could“, but this was when I was still very much in a place of censoring myself and trying to be more… digestible for the newer following I had of people on the more conservative side.

I’m so glad I am co...

Oh Snow Good - photoset

I imagine you guys will get more snowy photos if it keeps snowing up at Mount Charleston. :)

Oh Snow Good

Friday morning we drove up to Mount Charleston to enjoy the fresh snow. I’m not sure what it is about snow, but I just love it so much. Growing up in Amarillo, we got pretty heavy snowfall it seemed at least once per year until I was in my 20s. I remember a few times where we had well over a foot or two, and living on an acre and a half of land out in the kinda country made it feel so magical. We had a couple really big trees that lost some big limbs during some of the snow storms. One of t...

Is Hindsight Really 2020?

Recently I made a post on Instagram about how I thought part of the initial isolation would give me a boost on creating content I was excited about. One night toward the end of March, I brainstormed so many ideas that I couldn’t wait to shoot. It was enough to fully fill April and have pictures I could use for months. I didn’t shoot almost any of it, and what I did end up shooting was months later. I think I’ve done roughly 2-3 of those ideas.

Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄

(Please excuse the awkward picture on the thumbnail. I can’t change it. 😂🙈)

Love you all and hope you have a very merry Christmas!

Feeling Blu

Not in a sad way... Blu was just the name of this photographer. ;)

This was one of my first shoots when I moved to Vegas. I remember when I met this photographer that there was something mysterious, yet warm and protective. It’s funny now when I think back, that there were a few male photo...

Oooh, She Fancy!

I just realized I never shared this full set! It's only a year old, so not a long time Flashback Friday, but so much has happened since then, that it feels like forever ago. 

I don't have much of a story for these since I typed up a separate blog post. 

This shoot was for designer, Cleo the Hurricane.

Forces Within

A couple weeks ago I had a virtual reiki session with my friend, Mel (@melemlyn on IG). Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Generally hands are placed lightly on or just above the body to do this work. Yeah, I’m getting real hippie on y’all.

I know what some of you might be thinking… how the hell can one do *virtual* reiki?

I was so excited going into it because I’ve felt incredible things inside my body from reiki and qi gong before, bu...

Keeping it PG

But not really. 

PG in the sense that these are all shots from my first two shoots with PG Photography. Over the years, I bet I've done something like...20+ shoots with Peter. He has been one of the most important people in my career, and really, my life because it was connections through him that brought me to Las Vegas almost 7 years ago.

I met Peter in 2010 I believe, when I'd dri...

Weirder Than Normal

Life has been a hell of a lot weirder than normal for most of us this year. I would say all, but I try not to use words that generalize. 

It hasn't necessarily been weird in a bad way for me, but certainly uncomfortable overall. With the downtime we've had, I've been able to realize A LOT about myself and this week has been no different. 

A couple days ago, I made a post on Instagram voicing my annoyances with what social media has become to me. It started out as a fun a...

Sunrise

It’s wild even looking at my right hip in these photos. The lack of tattoos is a staunch reminder that this was indeed, about a decade ago. It’s baffling how time flies.

This shoot still holds some truly wonderful memories. Aside from the photographer being extremely kind and helping me feel very at ease, the whole shoot was really an exploration of self and surroundings.

Blast From The Past

In these last few weeks of delving further into a spiritual practice and trying to figure out what spirituality is for me, I have come to learn so much about myself and how I have chosen to fit into this world.

Since I first started therapy as an adult (well, at least more continuous therapy, vs the one time I had to go for help on a particular situation), I have been lea...

NEW HAIR!

After not having my hair professionally done for about 10 months, HERE SHE IS!

I am ecstatic over this cut and color. Something about a shag feels like home now, as pink has for many years. My dark roots really grew on me (No pun intended!), but I didn’t like that harsh line between my new growth and the bleached pink area. I really like my dark hair as well and wasn’t ready ...

When Stars Align

It can be an almost magical feeling to get dressed up. During the last 6 months of mostly being isolated, those times are few and far between. I’ve only really been dressing up for photos (like dis!) or every 2-3 weeks when I go run more than one errand in a day or go get my nails done.

It’s been interesting to reassess why I get dressed up. Though I’ve always maintained that I get dressed up for myself, being away from outside influences has helped me realize that I was indeed le...
