Sasha at an Abandoned West Virginia Mine
In early May I went up to West Virginia and spent a few days with my friend Sasha Jacobsen. During one of the days I was there we went hiking at a location that had abandoned mines to take their first nude in nature photos! We had a lot of fun and at the VERY end of our shoot a guy showed up out of nowhere on the trail carrying a snake! Luckily he was really cool about the nudity and only seemed interested in showing us the snake that he had found on his hike. It was a rather odd encounter but I’m glad it went the way it did!CURRENTLY: I’m figuring out when the best time to move back into my parents house will be. They just left this morning for their own 2 month cross country adventure (they were inspired by my trip this summer!), and I’m watching the house for them while they’re gone. I’m going to be moving in and staying there for the foreseeable future. It’s been about 9 years since I moved out, and honestly I’m really excited to live with them again! I know for most people it’s a negative thing to move back in with parents, but for me it’s a celebratory thing! I love them so much and I’m excited to be spending more time with them once they’re back from their trip. Now I just need to pack and find a day that my friends are available to help me move my stuff!

Dream Room with Antisocialdisposition
If you’ve been a member for a while you probably remember all the photosets I’ve shared from the creative day at Durham Fruit with Antisocialdisposition, Roarie Yum, and Mikki Marvel. This is the LAST PHOTOSET from that day! Whew! We created so much and it was such a fun day!CURRENTLY: I still am thinking about making vlogs to share but I’m realizing it’s a LOT of work and I don’t know if I can feasibly make it happen every week. Maybe I will just create extra videos for All Access members? I haven’t decided! For now, I’ll keep typing up blog posts until I figure it out. Oh, did I mention I finally started a youtube channel?!I’ve been feeling like I’m in a really transitional phase (still haha, it’s been going on for over a year now) and I don’t know when things will feel “normal” again. What even is normal?! I used to be very scheduled and plan things months ahead and it would stress me out to change plans… and now I’m purposefully NOT scheduling things far out because now I know how much can change within the span of a month (or a week to be honest) and I don’t want to commit to something that I potentially might have to back out of later. It feels really good to be more intuitive, flexible, and protective of my schedule. How do you use your schedule in a way that feels good for you?

16+ minute video of me releasing energy and emotion in the forest in the PNW. This is something I do when I feel overwhelmed or outside of my body and I need to come back to center and back to myself. It helps so much to release emotion when it’s stuck inside you!

Studio with Tiffany Nacke
Last time Tiffany Nacke was in Charlotte we photographed each other at Flaming Chicken Studio. I’ve already shared the photos she took of me, so here are the photos I took of her!CURRENTLY: I’ve been sooo moody and emotional lately and it feels like it’s remnants of all of the stuff that was happening this time last year. Last October through March (or really… May) was the most difficult time of my life so far. SO MUCH has changed since then, but so much is still the same somehow. Life is so weird. It feels awkward typing out real life stuff to yall here when I really prefer to make videos and talk about it. I feel so much more authentic, like I’m actually speaking to yall, when I make videos vs when I type up blog posts. I really think I want to start making videos instead of blog posts…

Bodypaint self portraits
Wow I just looked at the date I took these self portraits… November of last year! That really goes to show how much I have in the First Look archive, because things live there (sometimes for quite a while) before I release them to Photo and Video members! I didn’t realize I took these so long ago, almost a whole year! Wow how things have changed.I took these self portraits when I was stood up by TWO models, thankfully I was able to shoot with each of them later on, but I waited for them for a while before I decided I would just create anyway without them haha. I’m so glad I took these, this was such a fun shoot for me. You can really tell how much fun it was when you watch the videos!CURRENTLY: I have been updating and improving my website since last week and I am SO excited with the changes I’ve made so far. The memberships part of it has been improved GREATLY and I have even more upgrades in mind to make it easier for everyone to view all of the content I have to share! It’s going to take me a bit of time to get everything done that I want to get done, but in the meantime my website is already better than ever! I am honestly really proud of myself, I built this website all by myself and everything you see here was all done by me! With no formal training or anything! I am so happy to be able to have full control over my website because everywhere else on the internet doesn’t feel safe enough for my nude art.

Studio with Tiffany Nacke
I recently released a double exposure photoset of me & Tiffany Nacke taken by Antisocialdisposition… this photoset was taken that same day! I still have one more photoset to share with you from this creative studio day, the film photoset I took of Tiffany!CURRENTLY: I’ve been in a weird place emotionally and I posted a bit about it on my instagram story yesterday (Tuesday, you know, bc I always get these posts ready early so that I’m NEVER late). As much as I absolutely love sharing my art with you, it’s becoming increasingly clear to me that something is missing. I am feeling the need for some kind of shift, I just don’t know what that is yet. I know I want to focus more on love, healing, and inclusion, and less on “oh hey look naked people” because that just feels like it leaves so much room for the sexualization of my images instead of the celebration of humanity that they’re actually created to be.I don’t plan on stopping creating, I’m just taking a break for a few months (through the end of the year) on creating anything new. I created SO MUCH this summer that I have a big backlog of photosets and videos to edit/upload so I know I’ll still have consistent content to share with you even while I’m not actively creating. I think the big to do list that I have is part of my stress, and I know stepping back from doing so much will give me the time and space that I need to sift through everything I’ve made this summer. I’m really excited to share all of the photos and videos I created on my trips!!!
