Lassen Volcanic National Park with From the Edge Photography
CAPTION FOR VIDEO ABOVE:
Good morning! Happy Thursday for me, happy Saturday for you! I’m gonna set this down I think, let’s see if I can do this. Almost. I have to be really far away. Happy Saturday! Hope you can hear me! So today is July 4th, well not today that I’m making this but today when you’re going to be seeing this, and it is not really cause for celebration for me. If you know anything about the history of the United States you’re probably not a fan of July 4th either. Independence from who? Independence for who? Yeah, whatever.So today I’m sharing a photoset that was actually taken on July 4th last year when I was on my cross country road trip last summer. I was in Lassen Volcanic National Park in Northern California. When I was there I saw lots of snow, on July 4th yes, I saw a lake that was completely covered in ice. It was beautiful. I saw trees that had been burned, and it’s a very varied landscape there but it was beautiful. I met up with a photographer there named From the Edge Photography. We camped overnight and got up the next morning and took a bunch of photos in a bunch of places, mostly just hiking away from where our campsite was, into the woods, and that was great. I think he might be sending me more photos in the future but for now I’m just going to share the photos that I have and all of the videos that I have. Some of the videos I think he.. I think they’re like sideways, instead of vertical like they should be, I think they’re sideways. I may or may not be able to fix that before I share them. We’ll see if it’s extremely time consuming to fix it or not, and if it is extremely time consuming then I’m sorry they’re sideways but if it’s something that can be done in a reasonable time then I will do it. So I just thought it would be funny and interesting and cool to share photos this July 4th that I was modeling for on July 4th last year!
I don’t know what else I want to share right now, I’ve been kinda busy doing my own thing and also getting stuff prepared for Going Beyond the Lens with Lior and Roarie, which has been really wonderful and I’ve really loved it, and we have a lot of things that we’d like to do and ideas… I’ll put the link in the caption (CLICK HERE!) of where you can go to sign up for updates. We have another online event coming up for free on July 18th at 1pm. When you go to the link (HERE!) there’s a place to sign up for the Going Beyond the Lens mailing list and that’s where if you’re on that mailing list then you’ll be invited and get all the information on how to join that free video gathering discussion thing. I’m excited, it’s been a really fun project to work on, and I really love working with Lior and Roarie, they’re wonderful people and I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes. Our first event on Vulnerability in May was really excellent and I felt like we had a lot of really good conversation and dialogue with the participants which I really enjoyed, and for it being our first event we had a pretty decent turnout so I’m pretty excited about how well it went. I’m hopeful that it’ll be a really good turn out for this next one. I think this kind of community for artists where we can gather and talk to each other about art and what it means for us and the ways we go about doing things, I think it’s important and needed, I think there’s a lot of artists that have been yearning and searching for this, I know I have, so I’m really thankful to be a part of this. To help facilitate the gathering of creators and the broadening of our perspectives, I think that’s really great and I’m excited.
What else do I want to talk about? I don’t usually make a plan for what I want these videos to say, I usually just look at my plan for what I’m releasing and just make the video go from there. That’s probably why I’m always like “what am I going to talk about? I don’t know what I want to say.” I haven’t forgotten about the double exposure ebook and the reviews I’m asking for yall to do in exchange for the ebook. I’ve just had a lot on my plate so it’s something I’ve been working on a little bit at a time. I’m not sure if I want to make the ebook much longer or if I want to keep it short and sweet, but there’s at least 20-30 photos in there already, and it’s a 16 page ebook so far. I might just finish it and continue. I’ve also been working on a double exposure mini course, an ebook pdf on how to do double exposures on 35mm film, and it’ll include some links to videos I’ve made for what to do on the cameras and how to load the film and all that kinda stuff, so I’m also working on that. My fingers are in a lot of places. I’ve also like… I posted nothing on my IG in June. I made like 3 posts on June 1st and then I didn’t post anything other than stuff on my stories. So I think I’ll probably start maybe posting again hopefully. I feel like I need to have important things to say and I’ve allowed myself to think about it too much and that has kept me from actually doing it. So there’s that.
Yeah that’s all I have to say today, I hope you enjoy this photoset and these videos from my time last July 4th in Lassen Volcanic National Park with From the Edge Photography.

June St Paul in Joshua Tree
CAPTION FOR VIDEO ABOVE:
Hi friends! This week I’m sharing a photoset that I took last summer in Joshua Tree California (technically we were right outside of Joshua Tree) at an airbnb that was super amazing and fancy. It was me and my friend June St Paul and we took photos in and around the pool at the airbnb that is owned by one of her friends. It was a really cool experience, I really enjoyed spending a few days there and it was beautiful and relaxing and the pool was really fancy and they had just opened the pool. If you want to watch a whole bunch of videos from my trip I still have them all on my website for free (in the free section, the free galleries) you can watch all of the videos I made like every day. It was a really cool experience and I hadn’t seen her in a long time and it was enjoyable.I’m feeling low energy today and I have plans for doing an earth connection meditation for all of yall and maybe a free one for people who aren’t members. Maybe clothed for them and nude for yall because I know I’m safe being nude with yall! I just… I don’t know… thats the thing thats been calling to me the most. I dont know, I have these doubts of myself for some reason and I’m kinda reluctant to schedule things on a regular basis because I don’t want to then feel stuck to that and I don’t want to let people down. Right now I’m in a place where I want to plan things and not do them, or I don’t even want to plan stuff. It’s kinda weird. I donno, it might just be the energy of everything that’s going on that’s effecting that for me. I know that I appreciate yall so much because I’m able to buy groceries and stuff because you’re supporting me because this is my full time thing. I appreciate that so much.
I want to continue doing live gatherings with yall online, I’ve just kinda been in a funk lately with everything going on and I feel like I need to center myself and get back into my body and my heart before I can start sharing stuff with the world. I feel like I haven’t truly honestly spent enough time with and for myself in a really long time, and I’m getting better at that, but I still feel off kilter. Which is kinda weird because I’ve been self quarantining here at home for over a week, almost 2, no not 2 weeks yet. But I’ve spent a lot of time with myself and I keep feeling like I’m not doing enough and then at the same time I don’t want to make plans to do things because I don’t know what I’m going to feel like for the things that I have the plans for or if I’ll actually want to do them and it’s a weird thing.
I know that I for sure have photosets and videos that I can continue to share with yall through early June for sure. I haven’t created anything since like… September. It’s been a long time since I’ve had my camera out. I just haven’t been motivated, I haven’t felt like it, it hasn’t been something that’s been exciting to me or something that I’ve wanted to do for a while and I’m trying to be gentle with myself about it, even though it’s kinda stressing me out at the same time. I know that I need some changes and I’m not quite sure what those are. I feel like videos and actual connection with yall and other people around the world is the direction that I’m heading in, but I just haven’t quite gotten there yet, to knowing what that is for me and how that feels and if that’s… I don’t know. So I’m in a weird place and I feel like a lot of us are in a weird place, so I just wanted to say that if you’re in a weird place that you’re not alone and that this isn’t going to last forever. There’s at least one person that loves you and that person is me.
I have like 3 videos on ecosexuality that I’ve slowly started making. They’re all about 15 minutes or longer, because I can weave ecosexuality into basically any topic and it weaves into everything for me. I feel like that’s the direction that I’m going in, is ecosexuality and healing and connection with each other and the earth is really what’s actually calling me lately. It’s also scary at the same time because I know yall have this expectation of nude art from me, and I love that, and I love making nude art, it’s just not something thats been on the forefront of my mind in a while. Or something that’s been that exciting for me lately. So I don’t really know what that means and I’m trying to be gentle with myself. I’m trying to just let myself do the things that I feel good about, and trust that that’s the direction that I should go in.
So thats… what I have to share with you today I guess. I’m going to be spending some time just… with myself, figuring things out, feeling into all of these feelings that I’ve been repressing for over a year still. It’s hard to just wake up and face yourself and your emotions sometimes. It’s really scary because it feels like… what’s after that? There’s a big abyss of unknown of like, what is my life going to be like if I actually allow myself to feel these feelings because I don’t want it to take me over. And what’s on the other side of that? Yeah, life is weird.
I hope yall are doing good. I hope I haven’t brought you down. I do have some uplifting videos that I’ve previously recorded that I’ll probably share at some point. I just… want to make things that younger me needed, and that younger me wished I knew, and I want to be a sense of support and love for other people and I want to affirm other people in their identities, and that’s the thing that I’ve been most interested in recently. Just being someone that understands and someone that cares about everyone and isn’t judgmental and lets everyone be themselves because that’s who we are supposed to be!
Okay, it’s already been 10 minutes, I need to stop making these really long because it takes me a long time to type them up. Thank you for being here, I love you so much. If you have anything to share with me I’m always open, you can always email me or comment on this post. I love you and thank you for being here and I appreciate you and I’ll talk to you next week. <3

CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Hello! Hi! Today is March 18th, I’m pretty sure, because I think yesterday was the 17th. Today is Wednesday, whatever that means to you. I think this week is when I want to start my video blogs to y’all instead of doing a typed blog. Also, I maybe considering typing this up too because it’s more accessible to have a typed version and a video version, so I might also type it up so that anyone who needs closed captioning kinda stuff can read what I’m saying. That’ll take a while so I’m going to try to not make this video too long.I really enjoyed the video chat last weekend with the members who came. Thank you so much to all of yall who made it. It was really fun to hang out with yall and chat about all kinds of stuff! I’m really excited to make changes and updates to my website and the things that I offer and the things that I do for yall. I’ve been doing the same thing for a long time and I think that it’s a good idea to change and elevate and evolve my website along with me, because I’m changing and evolving always. So if you’re here and you expect things to stay the same forever then you’ll probably be disappointed because I don’t stay the same forever so my offerings and the things that I do here can’t stay the same forever, because then I’ll just be holding myself back and I don’t want to do that. All of the feedback I’ve gotten so far from people who have reached out to me have been that you’ve appreciated and enjoyed the changes that I’ve made throughout the long time that I’ve had some kind of membership site. I used to have a patreon and that’s no longer, technically its still there and you can see the archives in it, and I’m not making any new updates and it’s not something I’m spending time on. I’ve already evolved some and this is just more evolution for me.
Today I left my partners house, I had been staying there for several days, I think I got there on Thursday or Friday and I just came back… today’s Wednesday so it’s been almost a week that I’ve been over there. I helped him get more prepared to be at home by himself for hopefully a week. I guess I was more concerned about him than I was for myself because I’m pretty set up here with my parents and I had just gone to the grocery store with my mom, and we already have a lot of things figured out here. My partner tends to go to the grocery store every day sometimes just to get the things he needs for that day. So I was helping him make meal plans and get groceries for more than just a day and encouraging him to hopefully… well he doesnt have any control over it, but where he works is the camera store that I occassionally work at and our boss was really dragging his feet on closing to the public and just being online or curbide pickup but he’s finally going to be doing that tomorrow (Thursday). I’ve been telling him to do something like this since Saturday and he’s been really dragging his feet but I’m glad he’s at least starting this because it’s important to minimize contact with other people. Which is really hard for me and sucks because I’m so physical touch… I’m a very huggy person, I like being close to people, and that’s going to be a challenge for me. And I knew that once I left my partner’s house I probably won’t see him in person for a while because I’m going to be hunkering down here with my parents for the forseeable future until this blows over. I was sad to say goodbye to him today because I don’t know when I’ll see him in person again and I really enjoy cuddles and hugs and kisses like a whole lot. We’ve already made plans to talk to each other on some kind of video chat probably once a day or more or some kind of text or call or something once a day so I’ll be able to see how he’s doing and talk to him and all that. I’m so thankful that we have the technology that we do that connects us in this way. It’s so wonderful, if it was 1950 we’d be so isolated and it would be hard to work from home or see our friends from far away. I’m so thankful that even though this is a shitty situation, that we have ways to stay connected even if we’re far away from each other and that’s such a wonderful thing and I’m so glad we’re able to do that. So I’m home… for a while.
All of my modeling gigs for the next couple months have either been canceled or rescheduled or postponed. Right now yall are my sole source of income which is kinda scary, but it’s also wonderful because I appreciate each of you so much and I’m so glad you’re here. I would like to make this space an even more special space, and I’m really excited about the live video chats! I would love to do more of those, I definitely am doing at least one a month for all members, I might even be doing them more frequently than that. I appreciate that yall are here with me and you care about the things that I make and want to hear what I have to say and that’s really special and wonderful and affirming for me and I love you so much! I want to put even more energy than I already put into this. My primary income has been from my website for a while now, so why not make this an even more special wonderful place? I want to do more videos for yall I want to do more live videos. I will be discontinuing the daily photos starting April, so you’ll see daily photos through the end of this month and then in April you’ll just get weekly updates from me every Saturday. I might occasionally do random posts other times, but you’ll always get something from me every Saturday. It’ll probably include videos like this! I’ve already been talking for 8.5 minutes and I’ll have to caption a lot but yall are worth it. I love you!
I would love to hear anything you have to say about what kinds of things you want to see from me, anything I’ve been doing really well, anything you think I could do better. I’m totally open to any and all suggestions or requests or feedback that you have. I’m here for you! Tell me what you need and I would love to provide that! I want to do more magickal things, I want to do more community things, I want to do more healing things, so look for that from me coming soon. I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but I’m doing lots of wonderful things, I have lots of ideas, and this is just one that I’ll be sharing with you very soon.
I love you so much! Thank you for being here! As always you’re welcome to comment on this post if you want to talk to me, or you can email me at bunnyluna@pm.me, or through bunnyluna.com/contact. I’d love to hear from you if you want to say anything or if you want to say hi!
Sorry this is kinda shaky, I’m holding it with my hand. I’m kinda ok with it, if it really bothers you I can start putting it on a tripod but I love the freedom of just grabbing my phone, making a video when I’m feeling expired, and just doing it. This is already 10 minutes, I think that’s probably a max of what I should do. I love you so much! Thank you for being here! I appreciate each and every one of you so much. All of the things you’ve been sending me, emails, comments, DMs, I appreciate them all. I really value your feedback and what you have to say. Feel free to reach out to me! I’m always here! I may not respond immediately because I have a life where I’m not always on the computer. I appreciate you. I love you. Thank you so much! I’ll talk to you soon. <3

Sura with Pegasus & self portraits
I have soooo much to still share with you from the nude beach gathering I facilitated last summer outside of Portland Oregon! This set of Sura is from that day on the beach! She has such a fun, wild, and exuberant energy and is an absolute pleasure to create with. You can probably imagine how much fun she is just by looking at these photos of her with the Pegasus float she brought with her for the event!
The self portraits I’ve shared this week are from August 2018 (I have several more sets from that trip to share with you too!) when I took my first solo trip to the NC mountains. That was a time of growth and learning for me, when I first started understanding that I can do things on my own instead of having to always have someone with me to have a good experience. That trip really helped me know that I could for sure do the cross country trip by myself last summer.
CURRENTLY: Today is the 10th (getting ready early as always) and I started my period yesterday (during the full moon) and today I have been feeling not so great emotionally. I continue to feel stuck and unfulfilled and like I need more things to change in my life and I’m still not quite to the place where I know what those changes are yet. I do know that I have been gravitating much more toward doing more videos for y’all instead of text and/or photo posts, and I’m VERY seriously considering not doing the daily photo posts anymore because of the time commitment it is for me to get them all prepped for you every month, plus from my understanding most of you probably only sign on to my website once a week or so anyway. Also, you ALL have access to ALL of my photos anyway… so you literally won’t be missing much at all. I feel like I could bring a lot more value to you here if I did MORE video content for EVERYONE and stop doing the daily photos. I do enjoy doing the weekly photoset releases and blogs, so I probably will continue those.
What do you think? No more daily photo posts, and replace them with videos/vlogs 1-4x a month? Comment below or email me at bunnyluna@pm.me!
I have daily photo posts scheduled through the end of this month… the change would start in April.
Depending on how well the group live video chat goes on Sunday I may do those with you every month as well.
REMINDER: Sunday the 15th at 7pm EST is the intimate members only group live video chat with me!
I will share the login info with you HERE on my blog 5-10 minutes before the chat starts, so make sure to check back for all the info on how to join me! It will be via freeconferencecall.com (you can join on your computer/laptop OR via their app on your phone!) so make sure to give yourself 5-10 minutes or so to download the app (for computer or phone) beforehand so you can join us!
