Lunar Wildling

By Maya Tihtiyas, with Sydney DeHaven

Things have shifted for me internally.

Huge shifts.

The kind of movements and moments that feel too consuming to even try to capture in words.

Words feel stagnant and flat compared to the dynamic & flowing life that I am surrounded by right now.

I know there will come ...

Hey all  ✨

First of all, I want to thank you so deeply for being here and supporting me. Truly, it is a blessing and an honor, and I am so thankful. 

Secondly! I decided I need to take a break; after many months of feeling uninspired to engage the digital realm in this cap...

Hey y'all!

I hope that you all have been enjoying midsummer; the sticky-sweet juicy moments that drip down your lips and flood through your being.

July has brought a lot of beautiful shifts to my life. I found Community. A group of pe...

Sea Wolf

The older I get, the more I value my own independence. 

The more I appreciate being able to rove to my own rhythm. 

The more I appreciate the people who understand my need for spaciousness, and who celebrate this aspect of my being as an impo...

Camera Roll

Here are some images from my phone from this month 😊

I have been soaking up the beauty of these midsummer days. Opening my heart as friends become lovers, letting Love pour into me like amber honey magma and soaking in the nectar of it all, after feeling convinced I would never feel that...

Woooooosh

So you may have noticed; my energy for this platform (and all digital realms) has plummeted this month.

I’ve spent a lot of time in my head about it; feeling poorly for not modeling more, producing more, sharing more. I’ve felt poorly for feeling the way ...

Summertime Sadness

More to come from this shoot - !

I hope y’all are finding joy & hope amongst these dense moments, time to dream and imagine all the beauty that could be.

More than ever before, I feel the gentle yet firm call to enjoy and make the most of each...

The Female Form in the Maine Landscape

These images were from a workshop that I had the pleasure of participating in last year with the lovely Laurie Klein. 

Been feeling tender the last few days; I feel certain boundaries of mine transforming from barbed ...

It's hard to even know where to begin... 

The last few months, have disrupted the system that we have all been living in.

They allowed the People to really reflect, to communicate, to see with clear eyes (beyond the day-to-day distractions that capitalism and consumerism so cleve...

NEW✨

By the loveliest Anna Madsen 

I got to see Anna, and co-create, for the first time in months.

It felt so good. We spent over two hours in the parking lot talking animatedly and loudly, gesturing wildly, to the point where my voice was hoarse for two days afterwar...

Over It

Photo by James Shedd

I'm over it.

Part of me wants to go back and rephrase that to make it more palatable, but nah. It's sharp and sure, I'm over it.

Over the ways that I have been making art, and a lot of the ways I see art being churned out as perfunctory content on social med...

Strawberry Fanta Zine

A few years ago, I asked some of my friends to help me produce a zine. Above is the compilation of images that came together; all with the prompt: if you could tell your younger self anything, what would it be? 

I was really amazed at what each person came up with; and how cre...

THANK YOU ☁️🌞🌲

This photo is from a backpacking trip in the Sierras, taken by my dear friend Meera after we scrambled up the boulders overlooking Cathedral Lake barefoot for hours (our campsite was by the lake...)

Thank you SO much for the continued support, loves.

I am honestly con...

THANK YOU.

Photos by Brianna Fern

"Thank you" doesn't even feel adequate to communicate how fucking grateful I am for your support.

I wish that I could describe it, but words simply cannot do it justice.

It makes my spirit feel supported, uplifted, shrouded in golden light...

Restless

I am restless.

My mind races, trying to cling to something—anything—to take hold of,

when so much feels uncertain.

Obsessive thoughts march through my head like a parade;

loud, overwhelming, impossible to ignore.

These thoughts fill the void with

what I wan...

As we're navigating these uncertain times,

I just keep the serenity prayer on the forefront of my mind.

I can't tell if I have gotten good at detachment, or if I've been slightly disassociated;

but, whatever is unfolding, 

is unfolding.

All we can do is respond....

Co-create with Me

I had a fun thought this morning.

Want to co-create with me?!

If yessss,

send me along some words,

or poetry,

or a color palette,

or a concept, 

or a clothing item,

or whatever inspires!

and I will make some self-portraits today ...

Here are a Bunch of Photos of the Side of My Face :)

All right;

so today's shoot didn't quite work out for capturing my full-blown vision of 'Celtic goddess' (though I have some photos to come that embody the vibe) ...

Creating kind of works like that. For me, anyways. It unfolds organically, much as I try to impose a vision. 

Isolation & Chill

Tomorrow, I am going to take some Patreon-exclusive self-portraits!

✨

I am going to play with doing make-up and hair by myself (wish me luck) and do some Celtic goddess-inspired portraits that I have been marinating on for months.

In this time, I've realized just how important...

Night-Blooming

Wow!

Can anyone else feel all the different layers to what's happening right now?

Anyone else overwhelmed af? 

I can feel and trust that there is a beautiful rebirth on the horizon;

and yet, I am still struggling with anxiety,

restlessness,

unceasing thoug...

Shit's Crazy Right Now

I want to preface this post by saying that I hold a tremendous amount of compassion for anyone who is directly impacted by COVID19. These times are scary, uncertain, disorienting, and for some, devastating. I am highly privileged in being young, healthy, able-bodied, able to receive PTO, having a...

Film Set by Maya Tihtiyas

Here are some film images that Maya captured on 35mm last summer.  ✨

It's been a while. In the last few weeks, I have

- dropped into my heart: I have been living in the very cerebral realm this winter, and have noticed recently that I am beginn...

Ferns

I love this woman.

That is all.

Dark Moon || Unpublished February

Wow, this Dark Moon has been intense.

Anyone else feeling it?

I personally adore it.

It feels like I have been standing in the Eye as the winds strip away all that has been keeping me bound. 

Obsessive, cyclical thoughts.

Engrained habits.

Butterfly Days (Ellie)

When I was in high school, I had a boyfriend.

There were days when I needed more freedom and independence from the relationship, just to connect with myself and be present in my own life— he kindly called these my "butterfly days". (A very mature perspective for anyone, especially at such...

Evergreen (music video stills)

This winter, I was so honored to be a part of Matt Hartke's Evergreen music video, shot by the lovely Max Marshall.  ✨

The music artist, Matt, reached out to me, and told me th...

Olivia

I recently began a photography page, with the mission to capture moments like this: humans in their element, glowing in their sacred purpose. Everything about us softens and strengthens all at once, and our ethereal energies become fully embodied in our earthly forms. ✨

by Mark Yaggie

My first shoot in a while —it felt good to come back into creating with renewed energy, and to do something a little different from the usual.
