2022 Recap!
I did a 2021 recap last year and was really encouraged by it, so I’m doing another one this year! I have issues with object permanence and it’s easy for me to feel like I’ve done NOTHING, so looking back and writing up the major things that happened and the things that I accomplished is really helpful for me to realize that I did, in fact, DO THINGS!
I created this to help myself realize that I am accomplishing things all the time even though I feel like I haven’t. I did NOT create this to make you feel like you need to compete with me or for you to compare yourself to me. The last thing I want is to make someone else feel bad about themself. Everyone’s life and journey is different, and we are ALL VALID whether or not we accomplished ANYTHING AT ALL. ♥

Conscious Creativity 2022!
Click here to watch the video in another window (now with embedded captions!)
CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Hello friends, I’m here today to talk about Conscious Creativity.
This is an event that I have put on since 2019 with Lior Allay, and this year in 2022, Roarie Yum will be joining us. So obviously in 2020 and 2021, they were online, but we’re able to go back in person this year and we’re so excited. The first in-person event was in 2019, and then, you know, the pandemic happened, so then we had to move online, but it’s in Michigan outside of Detroit. I think the closest town is Ypsilanti, Michigan. It’s near Ypsilanti Ann Arbor area is where the actual physical location that we’ll be at is.
Join us for Conscious Creativity!
So, Conscious Creativity. It’s morphed and changed a little bit over the years, but the main focus of it is usually self portraiture and that’s what we’re going to focus on primarily for this year. It is going to be September 27 and 28 (edit: ITS ACTUALLY AUGUST! Silly me, keeping dates in my head is hard! Haha from now on all captioned dates will be the CORRECT DATES to avoid any confusion). It’s going to be two, both of those days, you can come one or both days. It will be at a permaculture farm called Crossing Hedgerows Sanctuary. That’s where we had the first one in 2019 in person and it was amazing. It’s a beautiful space. They have a lot of land and we’re able to be as naked as we want, which is super wonderful. So, the event is going to be two days and it’s a half day each day. We will be providing food and we will be providing a lot of education and resources and information and a wonderful experience for y’all.
We don’t provide lodging and food before and after and that kind of thing, but while you’re there, we have food, we will be doing self portraiture, we’ll be doing set building, we’ll be doing group self-portraiture if you’re interested in doing that. Everything will be more like Choose Your Own Adventure. So you can participate in whichever parts seem interesting and exciting to you and nothing is mandatory. Just as long as you’re doing what feels best for you, that’s what we want to happen.
Join us for Conscious Creativity!
So it’ll be, one of the days is in the morning and one of the days is in the evening. The evening day we’ll probably do a little bonfire at the end, if the weather cooperates. This event will be rain or shine! So, if it does rain, we do have some canopies that we’ll be able to be under so we’re not gonna be getting rained on the whole time. But if you want to be rained on, that’s okay too. If it rains. I just assumed maybe our photography equipment, like cameras and stuff will not want to be rained on but we’re hoping that it’ll be sunny. This far out we have no idea what the weather’s going to be. But I’m hoping it will be not raining so that we can run around the whole place and have no limits of where we can be.
There will be I believe a composting toilet. So we’re not going to be inside of a building. We’re going to be outside the whole time and there will be bathroom facilities, but they will not be super fancy. That’s part of the magic of being outside is having that experience of being closer to Nature.
Join us for Conscious Creativity!
I’m super excited for this opportunity to spend time with y’all and create with yall and make self-portraits together and separately. Whatever y’all are feeling. Let’s see, what else can I say about this. We’ll have a lot of resources and take home materials to give to yall. Most of them will be digital so you can just get an email with all of the things but we have a lot of PDFs and things that we would love to share with you like tips and tricks and meditations and things like that, so I’m extra excited.
I hope that you join us for both days because we have created this experience to kind of like flow between both days. So the first day is we’re getting to know each other. We have a Welcome Circle. We all introduce ourselves, get to know each other, we’ll give tips and tricks on self portraiture and then we’ll kind of let everyone go and do their own self-portraiture adventure things and we’ll be available, the three of us, me, Lior, and Roarie, will be available for questions and feedback and that kind of thing because it’s a group workshop adventure we are not going to be available for one-on-one in-depth instruction since it’s a group experience. It will be more of like, we’re all going to come together as a group and ask questions and do things together and then we’ll kind of split off and do our own thing, but if you need some help you can wave us over, that kind of thing.
Join us for Conscious Creativity!
Then the second day we’ll be doing set building and more self portraiture in the set if you want to be in this created space. You also have all of the nature available as well. And then at the very end of the second day, we’ll do a group self-portrait. If you’re interested in participating in that. That is always my favorite part! The group self-portraits! Just because it’s a really, like, connecting experience and it’s really wonderful to collaborate with multiple people at one time and it’s always just super fun and I love it.
So I hope you will join us for Conscious Creativity 2022, August 27th and 28th. It’s on a weekend, so Saturday and Sunday in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I’ll have the Eventbrite link to share very soon. I’ll put it in the link below. We do have early bird pricing and I believe that’s going to be through the end of July. And then after, so August 1st and on will be the general admission prices. So if you would like a cheaper ticket, make sure to get it early for the early bird so that way you don’t have to pay as much. And that way we also have a better count of who’s going to be there so we know how much food to have. It’ll be a taco / salad bar. So there will be options for meat eaters, vegans and gluten-free options, so it should be able to cover most people’s dietary needs.
Join us for Conscious Creativity!
Yeah, I’m just, I’m super excited. I don’t know if you can tell. I haven’t had a group in person experience like this since 2019, because of the pandemic and I’m just really excited to be here with all of y’all. And yay! I’m so excited! So, yeah, I hope you join us, all the information, I’ll link below and I will talk to you in another video very soon. Bye!
All the deatils about Conscious Creativity are here!
EARLY BIRD PRICING THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH!
On August 1st general admission prices will begin!Conscious Creativity starts in:

2021 Recap!
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!

Vlog about my experience filming for Nudism.TV!
Click here to watch video in another window.
CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Good morning! Well, it’s morning for me, I don’t know if it’s morning for you. I was just walking in my backyard and it’s chilly. I don’t have shoes on and I stopped just in time because there’s a big spider right over here and a spider web, but I almost walked straight into and I didn’t. I’m glad that I didn’t. Hi spider!
I wanted to talk to y’all about my trip I just came home from. Let’s see if I can get this to stay where it is. Yeah, I just came home yesterday. We drove all day home from Cleveland or filming for Nudism.TV with my family. Me, my mom, my dad, my sister. We shot for four days. Yeah, it was four straight days of filming, and it was really super fun. I had a great time. We filmed a whole lot of different segments. I did self-portraiture, I did one like gender and sexuality 101, my dad’s a segment on Bourbon. My sister did two segments on floral arrangements. My mom did a segment on cooking and energy healing, and several of them we like, some or all of us are part of each other segments for a lot of them. We did as a whole family, we did our family haircut, we did a segment on that. And I mean, I’ve already like talked to y’all about all the segments, because I did a little blog post on here already, but just wanted to speak it to you and talk about it. It was so fun.
The people there were super nice. Pasha is the person who’s like kind of the head of all of it. He actually, his wife had a baby while we were there, so that was cool. Cool for him. We didn’t get to spend much time with him because obviously he was like spending time with his wife and the new baby. Marisa is one of the people who helps get everything set up and she’s super sweet. She was there the whole time. She also helps like behind the camera with getting all the production stuff completed and she’s really nice. There’s Todd there, Todd was the like main camera person and getting everything like setup for all of the segments of shoots and everything.
They have a whole like a whole team of people working on this and it’s a whole big production and they’re shooting almost 5 days a week. Right now, today’s Halloween when I’m filming this… right now they have people booked through the end of December. So they’re like booked out through the rest of the year. They’re going to have quite a library once they actually release everything to, you know, on the website. Right now, the website is like, come visit us. Come be a part of it.
The official like… what do they call it? I will think of it but all the official stuff will go live sometime in 2022. So they’re building up their library right now. They’re gonna have quite a lot because even just with my family over four days, we filmed a fuck ton of different segments. The interview we did, it was broadcast live on their YouTube channel. I linked to it before but I’ll link it again in case you missed it. I’ll link it in the caption below if you want to watch our interviews from the first day.
(CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE INTERVIEWS ON YOUTUBE)
Yeah, it was super fun, I had a really great time. I did not realize how much shooting and like filming would exhaust me. It was so much fun, but it is very tiring to be in front of a camera like basically from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. four days a week.Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve been in front of a camera naked if it’s not my camera. But it’s a different kind of camera instead of a photo camera it’s a video camera. So I felt super awkward a lot. Like I sometimes struggle with my words in the first place and then being in front of a camera and feeling like I have to get it right, makes me feel even more awkward. So I hope that everything turned out well. I feel like I said “um” a lot, which I probably did and I did like, kinda struggle with figuring out what to say. And how to articulate things. Yeah, I hear myself saying “um” a lot in this too. I think it’s just if I’m going to be on camera and talking “um” is gonna happen. It was really super fun.
It’s kind of early morning. I just woke up maybe an hour ago. I just wanted to be outside even though it’s cold. So here I am outside my kigurumi, me naked underneath it kinda just staying warm. Maybe it’ll help if I got in the sunshine. But yeah, it’s I had a really great week. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a part of that. I’m really excited to see where it goes and how everyone else likes it once everything’s live. I think it was a really great opportunity and I’m really glad that there are people that are doing this because I think it’s really important to bring nudity to the world at a non-sexual way and to like destigmatize it because a lot of people think nudity and then automatically assume sex and that’s not the case. And also like you can have sex with a whole thing of clothes on. So nudity and sex are not like interrelated all the time. They can sometimes, but that’s not the whole thing. Like, nudity is just the state of dress or undress and has nothing to do with whether you’re having sex or not. So, yeah, I think it’s really important what they’re doing and I’m really glad that they’re doing it, and I got to be part of it.
So if you like to be naked and have hobbies and interests that you would like to share with Nudism.TV get in touch with me, send me an email. I can get you in touch with them. They’re super wonderful and I love what they’re doing. And I highly recommend. It was a great opportunity, a great experience for me, and my family, they all said that they had a great week and really enjoyed it and Nudism.TV, takes care of us. They covered our expenses. They got us a really nice airbnb. They paid us for our time. They fed us really well. It was a really great experience. They respect the people that they have working for them. So that’s really good. It’s not like they’re expecting people to do this for free. Yeah, it’s they’re… it’s great. It was a wonderful experience all around and I highly recommend it. So if you want to be a part of it, also, let me know. I can get you in touch with them. It will probably be some time in 2022 if you get to film because they’re already booked through the end of the year, but they do have plans of expanding their space, which is also really exciting because that means, maybe more people can be there at one time. And that means more like group naked things, which is like my favorite obviously because I love doing the nude gatherings. I’m hoping maybe one day I can do a nude gathering there like problem film like on camera filming like video. It would be really fun. I kind of talked to them a little bit about that and I’d like to talk to them more about that. Right now I just need to rest. I’m tired and I have some computer stuff to catch up on. So I didn’t even take my laptop. Yeah.
Thank you for being here. I love you so much. I’m really excited to continue being naked and doing all kinds of fun, creative, nude things. I’m sad that it’s getting cold. So that means I can’t be outside naked as much because it’s obviously not comfortable, it’s too cold. But yeah, I am so thankful that I have the life that I do and I’m doing what I’m doing and that you’re a part of it. So, thank you so much! I love you! MWAH

Traveling + creation on the horizon!
CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Hi friends!
So, I wanted to try something new, I am making this early, that’s not new, but I’m making this early, because I will be traveling for the first three weeks of August. and I’m excited!! But I also know that while I’m traveling, I probably will not be able to make a new blog post and stuff for y’all or post them because I don’t know what my internet access is going to be like, so I wanted to do a little bit of stuff in preparation for my trip, so that y’all still had things to enjoy from me while I’m gone + I don’t have to worry about like, “oh no, I need to do something now, but I don’t have internet.” So to alleviate my stress and to make sure that y’all still have fun things from me, I’m making some stuff early Yay! So I don’t have a super plan. I have some self portraits that I’ve taken that I haven’t shared anywhere yet and I haven’t even looked through all of them yet either if I can look through them and like, pick my favorites before my trip, I’m going to share those with you. Otherwise I might have to wait till after but we’ll see how much time I have and if I can look through them and share them before I leave or like at least schedule them.
So that’s a potential thing that I will be sharing, maybe. Yes, I actually took some self-portraits this year and I also thought it might be fun to share some photos and videos from shoots from my past to be like “hey if you’re new here, this is some stuff that I used to do” or like “this is what I used to look like before all the tattoos and the no hair. I looked different. So yeah, I am here to, I guess, just tell you expect some fun interesting things from me that I’m not sure what I’m going to share yet, but it’s going to be cool! I’m excited to share something with you even though I don’t know what it is yet! Yeah I’m excited! So right now today is I think July 22nd? or 23rd? 22nd?
Does it really matter exactly what day it is? It’s the second to last week of July, right now as I’m recording this. So I have a post coming out on the 24th which is this Saturday, which you’ll probably see this before this video comes out but I’m excited about that because I worked really hard on it and it’s about how queer nature is! Well it’s not even all the examples of how queer nature is but it’s a few examples to share with you. So I’m excited for that. August 1st is the virtual nude gathering for August, which…
Oh my, I’m sorry for dropping you. That was not supposed to happen. Okay, I think it’s because I had it leaned a lot because I was like, I don’t.. yeah, sorry, you fell. I already forgot what I was saying.
Oh yeah. The nature is queer post that’s coming out on 24th and then the virtual nude gathering is on August 1st. I’m not sure if you’ll see this before then or not so I’m mentioning it. I have a Blog that I made that I read a part of a book but I think I’m going to post that for the free part of my website. I wanted to post some stuff for just members because y’all are special and I love you and because you need all like I want to share all of the coolest things with you. But I also want to share a lot of cool things for free too because I think it’s important for people to have access to my content without having to pay for it. While also having extra awesome things for the people who do pay for it because the people who pay for it, which is you, are the reason that I am able to like, pay my rent and like have food and go on trips and take photos. So y’all are the reason I’m able to do any of this. So I just wanted to share my appreciation for you and let you know that I have some cool stuff coming up. I’m just not sure exactly what I’m going to share yet because I have a lot of options and it’s hard for me to pick, so yeah.
Also, I don’t know if you’ve seen, I have more color now! Can I show you that? So this one I got already last time… this I already had but all the stuff above my knee is new, can you see it? And then obviously we’re not done because there’s a lot more to go because *gestures at all the outlines not colored in yet* yeah, but… done 2 color sessions! I’m closer to being a tree in color!
Okay, yeah, I don’t want to make this too long and I would like to go and pick what I want to share with you, so I’m going to go do that. I love you! Thank you so much for being here! It means the world. I actually might share a survey here so that you can let me know the kinds of things that you like the most, because that’s important for me to know and I would love to hear what yall are most interested in, so I’ll put a link to that in this blog post too so you can share with me whatever you want to see. And then I can be like, oh, now I know what they want to see, I can do more of that! Okay, I love you! Thank you for being here! I’ll talk to you soon. Maybe before I leave on my trip, maybe during my trip, maybe after. Who knows?! But I’ll have plenty of stuff to share with you while I’m gone. I’ll just queue stuff up because… yeah, I like to plan ahead. I love you! Thank you for being here! I’ll talk to you soon! Mwah!

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. =]

Sept 2019 Road Trip with Lior Allay + getting closer to big changes for bunnyluna.com
CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Hey friends! Welcome to another week of… wildness I guess. Today is the 20th, I’m doing this a little early because tomorrow I’m getting more tattoo done and Thursday is usually my day to prep these, so I’m doing it Wednesday since Thursday I’m getting tattooed.
This week I’m sharing a photoset that I created with Lior Allay in New York State when we were there in the fall of 2019. I have the photoset that I took of Lior with their camera, it was just a collaborative fun like… we woke up in the morning and went out to this field and just.. did our thing. I’m also sharing a bunch of photos and videos from that trip, so it’s a bunch of random things from that trip. Some of it is in the same place as the photos that we took and some of it was just from our travels, so enjoy this variety scramble of content from me.
First look members I’m sharing the photos and videos from the other people who were taking photos and videos during the nude gathering here at my house last… not even last year, in 2019 in the fall. They are photos that were taken by an anonymous person who was a participant and photographer there, and also photos that were taken by Nova Amour who is a model and also a photographer, her photography name is Foremost Imagery. I have their stuff to share with you for first look.
I have plans for what I’m going to share with you through mid-February, I may or may not go with the plan that I have right now which is to just continue doing what I’ve been doing. I’m really considering dropping all of my backlog at once into the galleries so that yall can enjoy that and so that I can maybe take a break for a month or two in the weekly things… so that I can recalibrate and figure out what I want to do to change my website. That option is kinda scary to me at the moment because I know a lot of you really like having consistent weekly updates, and I’ve been… I think it’s been since 2014, or 2015 or maybe 2016… so it’s been like 5 years of me posting every week on whatever my site is because it used to be Patreon and now it’s my website. I’ve been consistently posting every week for like 5 years and if I do this shift, then that means it’ll be the first time in 5 years that I’ll change what I’m doing in a really major way, and that’s scary but also kindof exciting. I continue to notice that I’m not really excited to do computer work things, well I’m never really excited to do computer work things because I get really drained by looking at screens. I always much prefer the act and the experience of creating than like the, organization, categorization, posting, sharing part of art. I much prefer the act of doing it than any of the stuff afterwards. Like the photos are a really great… memory to share and a really great physical or digital representation of the time that I had either with my self or with other people when I was creating. All of the stuff that I do after the actual creation part is my least favorite part, to be honest. It’s a part of it, because if you take photos, it’s probably smart to have them organized on your computer so you know where to find them, but all of the after-creation stuff isn’t my favorite and it’s actually the creation part that I enjoy doing. So I feel like maybe I’ll… take a month or two or three off from consistent posting on here and kindof recalibrate and figure out… what do I want to create now? What am I excited about creating? How can I do it in a way that doesn’t burn me out? How can I do it in a way that benefits the people that are coming here? And also… do it in a way that it’s something that I really enjoy doing. So… yeah I’m still feeling that out, I haven’t made a solid decision yet, but I’m getting closer to deciding, and I’m really leaning towards taking a month or two or three off. Even though that’s scary because I’m afraid of losing support, I feel like if I’m able to be fully embracing of the things that I need and want, and the things that I really want to put out in the world, which is kindof different than what it has been in the past. I really feel like, if I’m being myself and being authentic and honest then the right people will show up for me, and the people who were only here for the things that aren’t as exciting to me will fall away and that’s okay. Like, I have no hard feelings if you’re only here to see nude stuff every week, I understand if you no longer want to do that, because that’s what you’re here for and if I’m not going to be doing that then it makes sense. That being said, I probably will never completely stop doing nude things because nudity is a major part of my life. Yeah I just.. I told you before, I’ve taken, I’ve done… like 3 or 4 shoots in the entirety of 2020. I just haven’t… I haven’t been feeling creative, I haven’t felt motivation or inspiration to create something of my own in a while. I’m kindof much more interested now in celebrating queerness and non monogamy, asexuality, ecosexuality, transness… meditation, healing, energy, all of those kinds of things are what I’d like to share about, which is kindof different but also kindof the same as what I’ve been doing for a long time. The road that I’ve been traveling has mostly been the same, I’m just taking a different way than I used to, if that makes sense.
So yeah I’ll give you a head’s up once I fully decide, hopefully I’ll fully decide soon. I do have a plan for weekly posts through February 13th that’s already planned and ready to go. So maybe that’ll be my last post like this? Then maybe after that I’ll mass upload all of the backlog that I have? So I don’t know, that’s kindof what I’m feeling like, so get ready. If you’re here for the nudes, they’ll still be available. I’m kindof feeling like maybe in the future if I’m changing things after I take a break, when I come back I’ll probably still have my archive and gallery still available, but it won’t be a primary thing that I’m adding to consistently. I want to focus more on community like I mentioned last week, and having online experiences where we can be together “in person” virtually. So I think that would be my focus, is more community and more… free resource kindof things, let’s explore stuff and learn things together kindof…. things. Still figuring it out, but yeah this is your head’s up. Most likely will continue the regular posting posting through mid-February and then after that things will probably change and be different.
I’ll post an official announcement whenever I officially decide what I’m doing, which I’m still figuring that out, but you have at least an idea now of what direction I’m going so that you can decide what works best for you. I would super incredibly much appreciate your continued support, because you’re the reason that I can pay rent, and also it’s really wonderful to know that there are people here who support me even though I’m shifting and changing. And ALSO if it’s best for you to no longer support me, I totally understand and there are no hard feelings. I would just very appreciate if you stay, because I know that even if I do take a break, which I’m very leaning towards, yes I’m going to take a break for 1-3 months, but if I do take a break I’m excited to see what that opens up for me, and see what I’m drawn to creating during that, if anything, and lean further into community and learning, education, resource stuff. So yeah that’s where I’m at! Okay I think that’s all I have to say today. Yeah I’ll give you more precise information when I have it when I’ve figured that out for myself. I think I’m just scared of change because it is scary and I don’t know what will happen. I love you, thank you for being here, you mean so much to me! Yeah I love you, I hope you have a good day, and I’ll talk to you soon, bye! <3

This self portrait set was taken when I traveled to Tampa mid-August to shoot maternity photos of my brother in law’s girlfriend. Whew that’s a mouthful. I’m really stoked about the maternity photos, she let me take a few rolls of film of her nude and is allowing me to share them with you! I’m not quite ready to post them yet but oh my GOSH you’re going to love them!
Ok, back to this set since I got side tracked haha! The airbnb I stayed at was super adorable and I created a lot while I was there! This is the first of a few self portrait sets I took. I couldn’t leave the house before I shot in this kitchen! I absolutely love the big old sink they had and the way the light was coming in through the windows. I shot some film in this location too! I’ll be sharing that with you sometime soon. =]

I’ve uploaded 7 videos walking through the airbnb I took this set in + 25 nude body movement boomerangs showing off bruises from aerial silks class for members! Enjoy the example gif below! I’ve got bruises on the backs of my knees and on my inner and outer hips! I have a couple on my arms but you can’t see them here. I love having physical representations of fun things I’ve done. <3

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?

Self portraits in Utah – Between
CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:
Hey friends, I have been having a rough week and I assume many of you probably have been too with all of the bullshit that’s going on in the world right now, so I’m going to try to keep this short.
This week I’m sharing a self portrait set that I took in Utah summer of 2019. I still have a lot of self portrait sets from that trip to share with you so continue to look for that in the future, I have a lot still. This photoset I took, it was actually basically behind where my camping space was. I had a campsite and behind it was this little mini canyon that was totally private to my campsite, so that was incredible and of course I took advantage of that and took a bunch of self portraits back in that little canyon, so this is one of the self portraits sets from that. I’m also sharing behind the scenes video from this self portrait set.
First look people, I’m sharing some photos that were taken with Tiffany Helms and her partner Jeff Waters. We went to this abandoned place on Bainbridge Island and it was very cool and took some photos there and it was super fun, so that’s going to First Look this week. I think there’s photos and videos.
Uhm.. anybody that’s new, if you haven’t been here very long on my website. If you scroll back to past vlogs, like every Saturday I come out with this. If you scroll back to past ones you’ll see that I have been working towards shifting to something different with my website, and I’m still figuring out exactly what that is but I feel like I’m getting closer. I know I want to focus more on community building and live online virtual hangout type things, and have less of a focus on photography, so yeah still figuring that out. I am open to any requests, questions, comments, things like that, so if you have something to say in regards to that please comment, I would love to hear it.
Yeah, I’m gonna keep this short and sweet, I hope you enjoy these photos, I love you so much, thank you for being here, and I’ll talk to you next week.
