I have often dreamed of being the kind of person that could be consistent with posting, but alas, I am not. I think I have a love-hate relationship with social media most days. Can you relate?

Have you felt a disturbance in the force, recently? I have talked to so many people, photographers and artists alike, that have been stuck in this spiral of the world. This is my attempt (desperate plea) at getting myself out there again, in hopes that you will be inspired to get behind the lens and make something beautiful. Art is what we ALL need to heal, so start small. In this moment I captured, I can spot a bee obviously, but I can also see my light being turned on in the dark. It might be far away, and it might be dim, but I can finally see it. For that reason, I’ll be calling this piece “Bee the Light.” Think it’s lame? Me too, but I’m going to lean into the cliche. I hope you enjoy, I hope you take the time to relax and create art, and most importantly, I hope you find the beauty in life again.

I want to make a difference, no matter how big or small. 100% of proceeds from my website for the entire month of June will go to providing additional relief to those suffering in Gaza 🍉🖤 This goes for anything on my photography website, no matter how big or small. If you don't need an art print, consider donating directly to UN Crisis Relief. Let's get on the right side of history, folks. Feel free to share this post. If you plan on making a political statement or leave hate on this post, consider yourself blocked.

Hey everyone! A little update on my life, and stare at this pretty picture I took while you read along.

I’m sure the majority of you are aware, but I have been MIA on here because I wrote a children’s book! My very first book EVER. Check it out if you have a second! It’s called Minkus the Mage. It was a complicated process, being that I was the author & illustrator & publisher. With that being said, I am bouncing between a brand new book release, my day job doing hair and managing a salon, and my photography business. I am still doing all 3 and juggling them all, so I don’t want anyone to think I am stepping away from this. Photography is and always will be a passion of mine, and will remain something I do for a long while.

I am booking for April 28th right now, I have the day to do some outdoor Spring sessions! $200 for a 30 minute session, and that includes 5-8 digital photos sent right to you. It also includes a Polaroid shot!

Thank you for continuing to follow my photography journey, and as always..
