Every once in a while I will feel the need for something different. The need for something inspiring. I think most artists go through phases like this. This feeling is what sparks growth. It is yourself telling you, you need something different because you need to grow. You need to experiment. You need to try new things pertaining to your field. And Picasso himself said,” Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”
Read MoreA few summers ago, I lived in Wahiawa, Hawaii for a few months. ❤️While I was there I did a photo-a-day photo challenge. Most of the photos below are from that challenge plus a couple extras just for fun. 😃
Read MoreI am a coffee fanatic so the Dalgona coffee trend was right up my alley. Plus I think we could all use something fun to keep us busy for a minute or so. I have made Dalgona coffee several different ways and posted in my instagram stories a ton about this.
Read MoreI think now is a great time to share in-home sessions since we are all spending a lot more time in pajamas at home. This in-home session was from when I visited my brother and his sweet wife, Hannah, in Bend, Oregon. They were being super sweet after a day of being out of the house. So I grabbed my camera and got these. ❤️
Read MoreI have photographed Jasmine numerous times at this point and it is always such a good time! Her bff, Jae, always tags along and those two together is always a hell of time! For the past two years I have photographed Jasmine for her birthday in-person in Arkansas. We used Onyx Coffee Lab in Bentonville, Arkansas as a location for the first one and a super cool brewery in downtown Rogers, Arkansas for the next one. This year an in-person shoot wasn’t a safe option and we were some states apart so she booked a virtual session. I will start with that one and then post the photos backwards in time.. :)
Read MoreWhen Jack was about three or four he took interest in my camera. Each time I photographed him, I would let him take a couple of photos too. He has photographed his parents, me, and eventually his younger brother and sister. The first photo below is of him and one of my old cameras. The photos after the first one were taken by him. ❤️
Read MoreI blogged about Dominique on day 8 of this blog series. I shared an article about her where she talks about what it was like growing up trans in Arkansas. This photo is from my very first solo exhibition in Bentonville, Arkansas at the Visual Poets Society Gallery. There was a section of the exhibition that featured photos of her from our greenhouse photoshoot. ❤️ This photo is of her dancing in front of her section. ❤️❤️❤️
Read MoreThis is my friend, John. He is another fixture of South Beach. Every time I see him when I am walking to get groceries, he always says “Oh hi, auntie! It is so good to see you, auntie,” with a big smile. During normal times, you can catch him sipping some Cuban coffee or walking around South Beach.
Read MoreStella was an amazing person to photograph during a commercial photo session in New York. She had an amazing energy in person and on camera. ❤️Looking back on my New York sessions, this is easily one of my favorites!
