With V by Kara Perry
Kara Perry and I visited V at her home outside of Charlotte (again, I’m SO LUCKY that so many wonderful creative people live close to me!) to photograph each other, and these are the images that Kara took of us. V was pregnant with her third child (I was fortunate enough to photograph her during two of her pregnancies!) during this shoot. V’s property is a photographer’s wonderland. Not only is her house super cute and great to shoot in and around, she has a couple of abandoned houses within walking distance of her house!
CURRENTLY: I’ve been SO SUPER PRODUCTIVE the last couple of days and it feels great! Planning my blog posts for the next couple of months, updating the menu here on my website to make everything easier to navigate, making new pages to promote my offerings of photography, modeling, mentoring, and energy healing (they aren’t officially live yet, but they’re coming soon!), and scheduling a LOT of weekly free blog posts! It’s amazing how much I can get done in a day when I don’t spend 2+ hours on instagram.
What kinds of things would you like to see from me? How can I make your member experience here better or easier? I’d love any feedback you want to share with me!

Liana Pilar in the forest
I met Liana Pilar through Instagram when I was planning the nude beach gathering outside of Portland Oregon this summer. She was already planning on coming to the gathering but we wanted to create together individually as well. I picked her up before the gathering and we got to know each other by exploring the forest and taking these photos down the road from the nude beach. It didn’t take long to shoot this roll of film because everywhere you look in the forest in the PNW is gorgeous, so we had several wonderful backdrops to choose from all in the same place. The images with the wooden structure were taken right on the beach where I held the gathering!
CURRENTLY: This week I chose to take a break from social media through the end of the year. I’ve been wanting to take a sabbatical like this for a while and after postponing it a couple of times (because of feeling like I need to be online a lot in order to make a living), I made the decision and deleted social media apps from my phone. I’ve noticed myself sometimes feeling weird and like I want to distract myself by being on my phone but I do something else and feel better. It’s interesting how addicted we get to checking our phones constantly! I’m still checking my emails every day, and posting here every day, but I’m in front of screens a lot less. Instead, I’m spending more time taking walks, spending time with friends, doing yoga, reading, and doing other things that GIVE me energy instead of draining it like social media does. It’s only been a few days but I already feel better and have more time for the things that are important to me. If you can, I encourage you to take a break from social media… for a day, week, month… and see how it changes things for you.

Film & Polaroids with Drake Avenue
Drake Avenue and I have been friends for years and have created together several times. If you’ve been around for a while you probably remember some of the things we’ve created together over the years (at waterfalls, in corn fields, purplechrome in the forest just to name a few). I’m so lucky that I have so many wonderful creative friends that live near me! We took these in and around my parents house (that I now live in again! YAY!)CURRENTLY: It’s Wednesday the 27th because I always prep these weekly posts early (you know how important consistency is for me!), and I can hardly believe I’ll be 30 years old on the 30th (the day this goes live)! I still definitely feel like a teenager sometimes, or like a little kid, or like a twenty-something year old. Time is so weird and it’s useless to fight against it. When I get older I’m reminded that age is really just a number and it’s not about how many circles around the sun you’ve made, but more about how you’ve spent your time while doing it. I am so thankful that this is the life I lead… 5 years ago I couldn’t have imagined being a self employed artist. It’s been my dream for SO LONG and here I am LIVING IT! THANK YOU!! YOU ARE THE REASON I CAN BUY FOOD AND FILM AND GAS! THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH! <3Even with how excited and honored I am to be able to do this, I still long for more. I want more fulfillment, more excitement, more community involvement, more HEALING. I don’t exactly know what’s next, but I have an idea, and I am so looking forward to starting to make it a reality.But first, I hibernate. =]Don’t worry, I’ll still be as consistent as ever on here. I just won’t be on social media for a week or two. That’s gonna feel REALLY GOOD.

Doubles and slide film with Hannah Elizabeth
Earlier this year Hannah Elizabeth, Antisocialdisposition and I met at our friend Michael O’Neill‘s (who is also a photographer!) condo that was empty because he had it on the market but it hadn’t sold yet. We all took turns photographing each other… you might remember the photos that Hannah took of me & AD that I’ve already shared. It was a really great afternoon of creating and spending time together. I’ve said it before, but I’m so thankful that there are some wonderful creatives that live here in Charlotte with me!CURRENTLY: I’m settling into my new/old house after moving back into my childhood home with my parents last weekend. I’m really loving being back here again after 9 years of living elsewhere, and since my parents are still on their own cross country road trip adventure I’ve had the house to myself, which has been really nice. They’re coming back home sometime late December and I’m honestly just so excited to see them and live with them again! Instead of moving back into my old childhood bedroom, my new bedroom is in the sunroom which has 3 out of 4 walls that are covered in windows, and I have my own entrance, AND I’m closest to our outside patio/backyard oasis! I absolutely love it, I feel like I’m even closer to nature and I am really enjoying the super quick access outside. I still have some decorating to do (I’m gonna FILL UP the one wall with art!), but I’m basically done unpacking and my room feels so cozy already!

Doubles with Notrlygrace
I visited Nashville earlier this year and had the privilege of staying with and creating with Notrlygrace while I was there! This is the first photoset from our afternoon of creating that I’ll be sharing with you. We drove to a place called Natchez Trace which is a parkway that runs between Nashville Tennessee and Natchez Mississippi. We drove along for a bit until we found a spot to park and hike, and sneakily took some nudes at an overlook on the trail!CURRENTLY: I am a good deal of the way through moving from my sister’s house to my parents house (my childhood home, I’m so happy and excited to go back!). My official move date is TOMORROW, Sunday the 17th. I’ve been bouncing around from place to place so much lately that it feels like I have 3 homes instead of just one. How lucky am I that so many people welcome me into their homes and lives?! I’m really looking forward to getting all moved in, unpacked, and making my room my own private sanctuary. I never fully unpacked when I moved in with my sister and I’m so ready to have my natural treasures displayed again! I’ve missed my skulls, bones, feathers, shells and leaves!
