• 2021 Recap!

    December 25, 2021 /

    I enjoy looking back + seeing all the progress I’ve made over the year. It helps me realize that I did in fact actually do things + work toward my goals.

    Sometimes my brain likes to tell me that I’ve done NOTHING + gotten NOTHING accomplished, that I’ve wasted the whole year.

    Does your brain do that to you too?

    Maybe looking back through your year to see all that you’ve done will benefit you too!

    My trip to Philly over the summer was ridiculously productive and I love it!  I tend to have cycles of being really creative and productive and then I go through stretches of time when I barely create at all. I’ve been so busy with my new(ish) job at the camera store, going to aerial silks classes twice a week, modeling for figure drawing sessions, spending time at home with Antisocialdisposition, and visiting family over the holidays that I’ve only had a handful of shoots over the past few months. I’ve not modeled much recently, I’ve mostly been photographing others. I’m working on allowing myself to follow my natural currents and cycles and so far I think it’s worked pretty well for me. I realize that I shouldn’t push myself so much to do things that I feel like I SHOULD do when I don’t really feel like doing them. If I just follow the natural flow of my life things tend to work out better. Sometimes it’s a struggle but I’m working on letting go, listening, and allowing. <3

    I’m sharing three sets from two different shoots: when I photographed Tiffany Helms & Caitlin Michele in an abandoned building, and when DWL Photo and I found an awesome tunnel. I’ve posted several blogs with sets from my Philly trip already: photos I took of Vex Voir & Luna Dahlia, photos Tiffany Helms & Jeff Waters took of me, other sets taken by DWL Photo, and sets taken by Vinny Kim. I even have a few more sets to share, can you believe it?! I can’t wait to go on another adventure full of exploring new places and creating to my heart’s content!

    ——————————————

    There’s now have a bts location video from my shoot with DWL Photo to watch, along with a 9.5 minute video of me doing yoga in my back yard over the summer (I miss warmth!!!) and a 8 minute timelapse video of me organizing my film (I took my shirt off halfway through haha).

    DWL Photo and I went to Fairmount Park in Philly when I was there over the summer and created a ton of amazing images. This set is one of many that I’ll be sharing with you! While we were exploring the park we crossed some railroad tracks (carefully of course) to explore, and found this amazing location. I’ve never modeled in a place quite like this one, and I really enjoyed it. I always delight in having new structures to climb on and create shapes with. I think the compositions and lines that DWL created in this set are stunning. The light couldn’t have been any better: it was perfectly soft and diffused because there were so many clouds. I love how moody the sky looks in some of these. We ended up getting rained on later that morning. =]

    Members can check out the bts location video from this shoot, along with a 2+ minute timelapse of me doing yoga in my back yard, a 2 minute video of the beauty I found while laying in the grass after shooting the timelapse, and 3 aerial silks videos: climbers seat momentum to angel, straddle slack drop, and crochet climb. Whew! Lots of different videos this week!

    You can’t tell in these photos, but it was close to raining the whole time DWL Photo and I were shooting that day. I brought my umbrella with me and ended up losing it somewhere along the way. Oops. DWL and I met up at Fairmount Park and took advantage of the fact that not many people were around. We shot these right off of the pathway! We kept our eyes and ears open for people nearby but nobody stumbled upon us, thankfully.

    It’s funny, the reason I worry about people seeing me nude is not because I care that I’m nude, it’s because I don’t want them to be offended by it. Being nude, especially outdoors, in my opinion is one of the most wonderful and natural things in the world. It’s comfortable, it allows me to be closer to the earth, and it’s freeing! I’m sad that I have to worry about other people having a problem with me being myself. We should all be comfortable enough with ourselves to allow others to just be, without judgment or criticism. It is my goal to spread acceptance and love. Will you join me?

    Oh my gosh this set was hard to narrow down into the abridged set and the photos I’m posting in this blog! Every image came out so wonderfully! Vinny Kim and I created this set during our fun morning in an enormous abandoned school in rural Pennsylvania. We shot a couple sets before and after this one (you’ve seen one and you’ll see the others soon!), but this set is very different from the rest. We kept my face out of view in the majority of the images, and I had my head IN the couch for a lot of them! There were a bunch of out of date discarded electronics strewn around the room and this couch is a wonderful shade of blue so we wanted to incorporate those elements in our images. Which photo is your favorite?

    The video tier now has 12, yes TWELVE new videos to enjoy (whoa so many)! I’ve added a 7+ minute video of me showering, 8 waterfall/wilderness exploration videos, and 2 aerial silks videos: crochet to angel exit & crochet to seated drop back!

    So much art was made in Philly! I’ve shared a lot of it with you already but there is SO MUCH MORE that I still have to share! I’m so excited to show you everything that was created while I was there.

    This weekend I wanted to post these sets of Luna Dahlia & Vex Voir I took during the group shoot in Fairmount Park I told you about last month! We shot these pretty quickly, I took a few photos of each model in turn while Jeff Waters photographed someone else. This location was truly incredible. I love that nature was taking back the space, there were small trees and lots of plants growing everywhere both inside and out. Since we were there late afternoon and the house had very tall walls and no ceiling, the light was nice and soft but bright, just how I like it!

    What are you doing this weekend? I have off of work today and I’m being super productive! Today is REALLY exciting because I just got my brand new phone in the mail! It’s a Samsung Galaxy Note 8!!!!! I had the Note 4 and I really loved it but a few days ago it stopped charging anywhere above 17% and as soon as I unplugged it, it went straight down to 2% battery. I do so much from my phone, it is an essential for me to be able to work so I desperately needed a new one quickly. I knew I would have off today so yesterday I called Verizon to make sure they had the Note 8 in stock at my local Verizon store so I could hopefully go there today to get one. The Verizon sales rep Allison was super amazing and after a 25 minute phone call, I had a new Note 8 in black (the color I wanted) being overnight shipped to me (at no extra cost), and I wouldn’t even have to go into the store! HELL YES! I’m so thankful for wonderful customer service!

    This little Bunny is really happy and full of gratitude today! <3

    ——————————————

    I just recorded a 5+ minute video blog for you! Other videos added this week are straight leg scorpion & practice switching open and closed wrap from aerial silks class (2 different videos), 3 videos of cool art in NoDa (an artsy part of Charlotte), and 4 videos from my friends’ gallery show!

    When I was in Philly last month I was able to catch up with my friend DWL Photo who I hadn’t seen since May 2016 when we met at #dancingbearsvacay! If you’ve been around for a while you might remember that intense & awesome artist’s retreat. Look back through the archives to May 2016 to see what happened. =] DWL and I shot several sets JUST FOR YOU, and I’m excited to share the first of them with you! We went to another part of Fairmount Park (the place is huge) that I hadn’t been to yet and explored and made a bunch of awesome images. At first I thought we wouldn’t be able to find a place secluded enough but we found several cool spots and didn’t have any issues with people spotting us.

    ——————————————

    I’ve put a bunch of random videos in the galleries for you this week! 2 videos of me singing in the car with AD, and 4 outdoor exploration videos!

    ——————————————

    I’m currently in Tampa! I drove 10 hours on Wednesday and I’m so relieved that I’m done with the marathon driving. I started shooting some self portraits and videos for you first thing on Thursday morning and plan to create even more for you during any free time I have here. Technically it’s Thursday morning right now as I’m typing this but since I’ll be driving home ALL DAY on Saturday, I’m prepping this week’s post early! I really like consistently posting every Saturday morning so I plan in advance if I need to and queue it for you if I’ll be busy when it’s supposed to post. =]

    I love y’all so much, thank you for being here with me. Thank you for your support and encouragement. I appreciate each and every one of you! <3
