Video Posts

You may have noticed that I haven't posted a video or scan preview in a while. The platform that is connected to Patreon is now charging a membership fee. I'd love to keep making videos for you, including tutorial and Q&A's. I'd just like to know if it would be worth it to me to continue to u...

Life Update

     Hey guys! I've been a little less active this month, so I just wanted to give you all a little life update. I'm actually in the process of moving!! I've been in a really toxic living situation for what feels like forever, and things have finally come together where ...

The last bath

     This is the last set that I shot during my weekend getaway back in June. I literally shot it a couple of hours before check out. I just wanted to capture the silent emotional moments that I feel safe enough to sink into during a bath. The warm water is so soothing t...

Bedroom Polaroids

Nothing too artistic about this set- just felt inspired to play with my Polaroid the other night. I'm still figuring out proper exposure with my Instax and just really liked how these turned out. I did put a sepia filter on, which I think really adds to the soft romantic energy. It's got a little...

Nature, more doubles, and some motion blur

     I really wanted to experiment and shoot more doubles on this roll. These are from early July. I also wanted to include more of the roll than just what I think are the "best" and "successful" shots, and to embrace mistakes that I still make- Like forgetting to push t...

Triple Exposures

     A couple of triple exposures that I think turned out really cool! The first image was intentional, and I'm really proud of the execution- just a little bummed that it didn't turn out sharper with a little more contrast. In this image, I wanted to create a physical ex...

The Healing Creek

     First off, I just want to thank you all for being patient with me. August really took it's took on my mentally and emotionally, and left me feeling uninspired and pretty low. I appreciate every single one of you and the support that you've shown to my passion of crea...

Underexposed Polaroids

     Another set of bathroom polaroid self ports - these ones are obviously underexposed...which is interesting because the settings and lighting were basically all the same as the last set. I just bought myself a new tripod so I'm looking forward to taking some polaroid ...

Weekend Polaroids

   After weeks, I finally felt inspired to shoot some self ports and took advantage of the afternoon sun in the bathroom and a fresh bouquet of dahlias from an event I was at earlier. I'm still learning and playing with the settings on my new polaroid, but wanted to snap of few and...

Wes Set - Part 2

    I'm happy to finally post another set. I definitely haven't been as active as I'd like to be, and usually am. August is a really heavy month for me. I feel like I've experienced most of my losses in August over the years....people...places...my pup and love of my life. And...

Polaroids!!

I’m wondering if you guys would be at all in purchasing personal Polaroids in the future. I’m just looking for new ways to offer custom some content and thought it might be a fun idea 😊😊 Let me know!!

Soft B&W's & a hotel by the sea

   More self portraits with my favorite mirror! This is probably my favorite B&W set that I've shot in a while. I love the softness in the first few shots especially. It makes me think of old romantic Hollywood glamour that you might see in a movie.

   Som...

Your Body is Light

   I've been wanting to post this set for a while. I've used this lamp and mirror several times now for self portraits, but it feels like they always bring a new feeling to my photos. A lot of these are underexposed, but I actually really like that. I'm always trying to capture a s...

Wes Set - Part 1

   This set was inspired by the film maker Wes Anderson. He's got a very unique and distinctive style. So when I saw this little space with the chair in the hotel room, and the brightly colored piece of art, I knew I wanted to create something that looked like it could be straight ...

Surrendering & Silhouettes

   Another set from my costal weekend getaway. When I shot this set, I was feeling so emotionally and mentally drained. I felt uninspired. I felt really stuck, and a little defeated. During my trip, I found myself trying to force myself to create, rather than just enjoy one of my ...

Doubles with Nature

    A few doubles from my last few roll. As you've probably noticed, I love incorporating nature into my double exposures. I feel such a strong connection to nature, and am constantly in awe of its beauty, feminine energy, and everything that it teaches me about growth.

...

Spring Collab - Part 3

   The final set of my Spring collab with Randy a few months ago. This was such an epic location. I'm really looking forward to having an opportunity to shoot some more self portraits there. I actually drove out there the other day to attempt to shoot some. The weather was super mo...

Reclaiming places & power

   This set is about reclaiming places that are important to me and pieces of myself that I shared with someone who didn't value them. I fell in love with this hotel the very first time I stayed there, and then I fell in love with a man. It was my place, and then it was our place. ...

Sneak Peak - 2nd outdoor shoot

Hey guys! Just a super quick bts clip of some self portraits I shot yesterday. I actually collaborated with another film photographer but had some time left after we shot together, and the last little bit of magical afternoon light. This was my second time shooting self portraits in nature, and i...

A day at the coast

   It's close to hitting 100 degree today, and I'm headed out shortly to take a drive out to the beach with my pup! So, I was inspired to post this little set. This was from a couple of months ago, when I met up with Eric for the day. We got some lunch, rode our bikes around town, ...

Film scan preview!!

Hope you enjoy a sneak peak of my last couple of rolls and what you can expect to see in some upcoming posts!! 😊

Body embraces and doubles - Part 2

   Another set focusing on embracing my body. I really love the first double exposure and think it's very representative of how for most of my life, I've tried to keep myself small for other people; those in my personal life, and strangers in the outside world that had the power to...

Giveaway reminder!!

Hey guys! Just a reminder that I’ll be drawing a name for my giveaway next weekend! If you haven’t yet, just comment on my pinned post for a chance to win a special gift from me 😊

My coastal getaway. BTS sneak peak!

A little sneak peak of some of what I shot on my last couple of rolls! I took myself away a few weekends ago to one of my favorite coastal hotels, and of course I brought my cameras. I'm drawn to this ocean and to this town. I also went to the botanical gardens and soaked up all of the magic arou...

First outdoor self portrait set & BTS

   This set was shot the same day as my spring collab with Randy. For it being my very first time shooting myself out in nature, I'm pretty pleased with them. I had been wanting to shoot a set of self portrait in nature, and this was the perfect place. Not only is the environment j...

Rose hips

     Film has given me a new lens to see myself through and truly embrace and appreciate my own body, every unique flaw and all. 5 years ago, I would have never shown my body like this. Probably even 2 years ago, I couldn't have shown my body like this. But I didn't see m...

Scans - Sneak Peak

Just a quick sneak peak of my latest roll and a lot of new work being sent off to the lab tomorrow that I’ll be sharing soon!

6 Months!!

    I created my Patreon 6 months ago guys!! I’m so thankful that I decided to finally put myself out there and share more of my art and authenticity. My art is very personal to me, as it takes so much vulnerability to not only create it, but share it as well. A lot of the t...
