Late Summer in Oregon
Here are some images from my Summer 2018 tour in Oregon. I traveled with two photographers to some of the most majestic landscapes I have ever seen. The full set will go up later at $5+.

Last week, my dear friend Photosensualis stopped by my little house on the shore to make some photographs with me. It had been an entire year since we last shot. Long overdue, if you ask me. When I shoot in my house, I don't often like to shoot with my actual belongings, because it feels very personal. However, I'm comfortable making portraits like those with Photosensualis. I hope you enjoy the candid peek into my ...

My friend, Photosensualis, stopped into my little house on the Jersey shore a few days ago, and we made these beautiful images. I hope you love them as much as I do.
Thinking thoughts of gratitude. XO.

In America, we are celebrating Thanksgiving today.
I'm very happy to report that I am with my family this week.
I hope you are somewhere warm with your loved ones as well.
Today is just a reminder to bring gratitude into every moment of every day.
So, thank you.

During my Dia de los Muertos shoot, I decided to remove my vintage dress for a few playful shots.
None of these are edited yet. I'm still deciding if I will even process them at all.
Notice anything different?
The day after wrapping up TDA, I shaved all of my pubic hair to mark the end of an era!
It really just felt good to make a drastic change knowing that my job no longer depends on me maintaining an expected appearance.
Don't worry, it's gro...

I started this account in December of 2016 as a means of taking the reins over my own creative identity during a deep transition period in my life.
I still toured full time for two years, until it was time to care for my grandfather, and even then I toured part time.
During that transitional phase, not only have I been able to share tidbits of my life on the road and abroad as a traveling muse, but most importantly, my own original work.
As writing has alwa...

Autumn
Autumn
She meets me with her
Cheshire smile,
Sober eyes and
An economy of words.
Empty docks
A splash of fire
And a snow sky.
Turn the page.

You are my autumn
The dawn of my darkness.
The spring time of eternal sleep.
The golden hour of death.
You are my autumn,
My still and silent harbor
Gilt mirror of deep, cold water.

Something Different *full set
Here's something a little different, since I have been inundating you all with desert nudes.
Before I left for Utah, Eric Alter photographed Evyenia Karapolous and myself in my cottage in Jersey. Eric wanted to recreate scenes from the Antonioni film "Blow Up," with two women. In time, I will share Eric's photos of the two of us in that scene. Fun fact, Jane Birkin (the lead actress in Blow Up) and her daug...

Halloween & Dia de los Muertos
Happy Halloween, Samhain & Dia de los Muertos. All are different cultural celebrations honoring dark season. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Growing up, my family was endearingly referred to as the "Addams Family," by our neighbors.
A few months ago I paid a visit to my mom in Virginia. Together, we visited our long time friend, Debbie, who lives in a 300+ year ol...

A few weeks ago, we hosted Theresa Maria in Moab for a few days, as she was traveling through just prior to The Desert Adventure. We ventured to a couple of epic locations where I posed for her.

Liv Sage Photography at TDA *full set
I am delighted to have Liv Sage join me here in Moab for our final TDA. We have been doing a lot of collaborating during our down time, and I'm extremely pleased with the results. Here are a few photographs Liv made of me in the desert. Although I have spent a lot of time with Liv, and consider her a dear friend, she has never photographed me until ...
