I’ve lived in San Francisco for just over 3 years, and I’m officially living in my fourth apartment here. I know, I’m crazy, right?
My roommate moved out from my first place here, leading me to find a studio. That studio started expensive, got more expensive, and was so small I was mo...

HI! Hello my loves, I hope my absence didn't affect you too much. I've been moving, taking a break for the holidays, and attempting to "DIY" refurbish an old antique trunk into a coffee table. I wasn't expecting to take such a long break but it was very much needed :)
If you follow me on In...

Photos can be really weird sometimes. And not just the content, but the memories behind them. For example, it’s really weird that I took these photos with people who used to be part of my daily thoughts, my daily routine. But now, I hardly think of them at all. Not in a mean way I guess, just t...

In my new place and omg these mirrors...be prepared for lots of future selfies in these. I have piles of boxes to organize and unpack but I predict tonight will be mostly about Chinese food and binge watching teen mom 2.

w/ @righteoushombre. I don't only do nude modeling, you know.
Side note life update: My apartment is currently a cardboard box war zone and I'm only like half done packing. Moving day is 3 days away and I just want to stay curled up in bed.

I tried really hard to finish this set to post yesterday, but Lightroom moves really slowly on computers that don’t have a lot of space apparently. And instead of posting it at 1am, I thought I’d give you something special for your Sunday morning (or at least my Sunday morning).
But any...

Finally got some quality time with the projector, and holy moly it's a tricky one. Angles are super limited if you want to minimize the shadows behind the subject and not catch the camera's shadow in frame. Also, editing artificial light is a PITA. I think these could have come out cooler, but I'...

W/ @beautiful__noise. We're taught to give thanks today. If there is one thing I've learned this year, it's definitely how to find joy in the most simple of things. Like finding creativity in only the corner of a bathroom with yellow walls. It's easy to overlook that sort of thing when you've got...

w/ infinitepotential22. I'm not entirely sure why/how I've managed to make two posts of this set and still not posted it in it's entirety. So I went back through, and included ones I may not have before because I didn't think they were worthy. But after taking another look all this time ...

Just posted on Instagram for the first time in a month and decided to post the uncensored version here.
Tbh, no matter what the outcome of today's election, I'm scared. This country feels so divided right now I have a sense of impending doom whatever the result. Anyone else?
One of my favorite looks I've gotten to do. Today me and roxie are going to the park and a pumpkin patch in matching cow onesies and then eat candy in bed watching scary movies. It's the best time of year.

I got a new phone and was messing around with the night mode feature on the camera. I actually kinda like these better without using the night mode feature, but it's still sorta impressive how dark it was when I took them. The last 4 were using night mode and the first 4 are just the regular came...

This set is very near and dear to my heart. I took many polaroids of my body parts to use, and I don't know if you've ever tried to take a polaroid of your own ass, but it's not an easy thing to get right. I then took these self portraits of self portraits on me. I edited the photos myself, and p...

I just spent over half an hour trying to figure out where this set went. I finally found it, but 90% isn't edited lol. So I'm going to go through it before sharing the rest, but here's a peek. One of my first self portrait sets taken on a camera that wasn't a phone.

In honor of what would have been folsom street fair in San Francisco, I've been shopping for leather accessories. I found a belt/skirt similar to this, but it didn't come in the color I wanted and was really expensive. And as I've done in that situation in the past I decided to try to make it mys...

w/@itsdoctorjz. Like how I did that with the titles for this shoot? Part 2 to my cringe posing. It's not that I hate these photos or anything. I think I look pretty cute actually. It just feels so try-hard and inauthentic to who I really am. I prefer the photos that feel like I'm exposing a piece...

w/@itsdoctorjz. Holy cow you guys. This is an old one - it was Justin and my very first shoot together. I really love my look and the colors in this set, but my posing feels so amateur it makes me cringe. I can see a tiny bit of my current style shining through, especially in that last photo. I h...

w/@itsdoctorjz. Justin brought me this hat to wear, and I'm told it's not offensive lol. This was the same day we took the last set I posted. I was moving out of this apartment and had a nice empty space to shoot in. I love the way Justin captures and edits me, he has a way of understanding and h...

I had a dream once that I was in what I can only describe as a magical faerie land. I've always felt a connection with faerie folklore, but describing how I felt in this dream really doesn't do it justice. It was the ultimate peace, like I'd finally come home. It was the feeling like I'd found th...

So, this set was really not my style. The wardrobe, concept, and editing is much different than what I'd typically choose. I don't think it really reflects who I am as an artist. BUT... the thing that made me share it and appreciate it are the rope marks all over my chest and arms. They kind of m...

10 things I've learned in quarantine:

2. How to sugar my own bikini area (it's like wax but literally sugar)

4. Online shopping is more about the...
W/@sovathyda. This is one of those sets that may not grab as much attention on social media, but is a personal favorite. The subtleties make it something you have to look at for longer than a half a second scrolling to appreciate. But I hope here you can take a moment to slow down and appreciate ...

With @agapealways and @star_bit. Does anyone else use weirdness as a comfort zone? Like, identifying as being weird or liking weird things because it's so much less stressful than trying to be cool/normal? But to the point where people who are too normal actually make you sort of uncomfortable? I...

After a long morning of shooting with @singian we were back at my apartment where I gave him a roll of expired b&w film. There's this funny phenomenon between film lovers where we just loveeeee gifting eachother random rolls of film. He wanted to take a few shots with it, and these are them. ...

Often when I shoot, there will be hundreds of photos taken during a set. From these, I only get to see 10-30 of them because I'm only sent which ones the photographer has chosen to edit and share. In the unique case of this virtual shoot, I had access to all of the photos we took (since we took t...

With @nastasiadusapin. Creating remotely has proven to be a whole new challenge. Taking direction from a photographer over a computer is an extremely strange experience. The photographer is also at the will of whatever angles I'm able to get them instead of finding the angles at a whim in the mom...

Who remembers this set? I shot 2 rolls of film and sold one print of each of these. Whoever bought one owns the one and only original! I don't do print sales very often, but this was definitely one of my favorite ideas. Anyone out there own one of these?
