Body, beads, and light

   I love how intimate some of these images feel. Especially the second and third photo. I don't think I've ever shot myself so close up. It's funny how even when I'm alone and shooting myself, and not even fully nude, I can feel so exposed and vulnerable.

   I...

Sneak Peak - Your body is light

   A little sneak peak of more upcoming work with my favorite lamp and mirror. I've been experimenting and focusing a lot on lighting my sets properly and playing in darker more intimate environments. I usually rely on natural sunlight, but I really love the dynamic range of emotio...

Spring collab - Part 2

   Another set from my recent Spring collab with Randy. As soon as I saw this skirt, I knew I wanted to shoot in it. I felt like a ballerina- so feminine and graceful. It was so fun to pose in and play with the sunlight through the fabric. I've done very few shoots where I feel lik...

Rebirth

   This photo is from my last roll with the doubles from my last post, but I thought it deserved it's own post. I'm so fucking proud of this photo. It's definitely one of my favorite double exposures and self ports that I've ever taken. I actually cried when I saw it for the first...

Double exposure set

Some double exposures from my last roll. I'm really fascinated with the composition of the first one. I love how I can capture more than one emotion in the same image- sometimes even very contradictory emotions. I love how doubles express the complexity of human emotion.

I really wish my ...

Wildflowers on film - Part 1

Wildflowers are everywhere right now, and I'm in heaven. They're so unique and delicate, and the array of colors just makes my heart happy. This is the first bouquet that I picked this season. I had originally hoped to shoot this set in color as well, but the battery in my Pentax K1000 died. Both...

Sneak peak - Scan day!!

Excited to share some more BTS with you guys!! I get so anxious when I record myself, even when I’m just speaking, but really wanted to give you guys a closer look into my film world. These are the last two rolls I sent in to the lab. Normally it would be two or more rolls of mostly self portra...

Spring Collab - Part 1

Excited to share my first collab of the year! I shot these over the weekend with a photographer I've worked with twice before (Risen and Light & Motion sets) and really vibe with and have similar artistic concepts. I had been wanting to shoot at this location for a while and we really lucked ...

Lace & Light

Just a little set on one of those days where the end of day light catches my eye. I don't really have anything planned other than to capture the light on myself and see how it moves me. I also have a small hanging crystal that fills the room with rainbows. Look closely and you can find a rainbow ...

A weekend in the woods - Part 4

Old set that I was in the mood to post. From one of the many weekend adventures with my good friend Eric. We met up yesterday for lunch, a bike ride, and some crystal shopping. At the end of the day, I felt so happy, grateful, and fulfilled. It’s always a beautiful reminder to me to surround yo...

Daffodillusion

I was planning to post the first and last images. I wasn’t sure about the others. But I feel like they’re all appropriate to post. I’ve been dealing with loss and grief this week. This set is a reminder that with the light comes the dark, and with the dark comes the light. One cannot exist ...

Sneak peak!! Wildflowers on film.

A little sneak peak of a set from my last roll that I’m excited about! I went for a morning hike the day earlier looking for fungi and wildflowers. This is the bouquet that our Mother Earth gifted me and they were just too beautiful not to shoot. Any guesses whether I shot the set in color or b...

Spring blossoms & Doubles

You know how much I love my flower doubles, so I was really excited when all the spring blossoms popped up!! These are a few of my favorites from my last couple of rolls. I didn’t experiment as much as I would have liked but still happy overall. I’ve also included doubles that didn’t turn o...

BTS - Hidden (Part 2)

Just a little BTS clip of how some of the images from this set were made. I wanted to give you guys a little look into my process of posing and the space where I shoot a lot of my self portraits. I’ve been having a lot of concepts come to me lately after feeling stuck in an artistic rut, so I...

Hidden - Part 2

I’ve been having a lot of fun stepping out of my comfort zone experimenting with my double exposures and slower shutter speeds creating motion blurs that I think overall create more abstract images. I really love this set- I love how they’re not your typical “romantic” aesthetic but still...

Light Work - Part 2

As obsessed with B&W as I am, I fall in love with Portra and its tones every time I shoot it. All of these photos are completely unedited except for the last image, which I darkened just slightly. I just absolutely love how rich and warm the colors are. I’m also clearly a fan of light and s...

Hidden

From my last couple of rolls and part of another series expressing and capturing my own internal struggles with being a woman, being a human, self reflection, self discovery, soul healing, remaining authentic, and honoring vulnerability and every moment of the process. And through it all, learnin...

Vines - bts & the process

This is a self port that shot a couple of months ago and is a great example of my cropping style. A lot of times, I find myself tightly cropping my images in order to really focus on one aspect. In this shot, I really wanted to showcase the leaves and my curves as an expression of how nature and ...

Another weekend In the woods - Part 4

These may be the final images from this weekend, but I’m actually hoping for a few more. Shot by my good friend Eric, on my camera that he gave to me for my 30th Birthday. The camera that started my journey into film. My Pentax K1000. I love that my first camera was one out of his very own coll...

Another weekend in the woods - Part 3

Nothing too artistic about any of these self ports (except the last on, my favorite!) but what I love about them is that I was so incredibly happy and at peace when I took them (even though I may not look it.) As much as the intention of my self portrait work is too help me along my healing journ...

Shadows that bring forth the light

This is a recent set that I shot with my Pentax LX on Kodak TriX 400. If you know my shooting style, you already know that I’m a sucker for morning light, shadow play, and flowers. I love the first image and how the light suddenly transforms into the shadows and how the transition seems to happ...
