Be prepared for the switch of this page to be used to fully promote my hair and makeup artist business.
So, get ready to see a TON of beautiful faces!

Been reflecting on my past a lot lately with all this time alone indoors...
The concept of family is such a foreign thing to me after coming from a childhood of abuse and neglect from both of my biological parents.
I've been starting to feel a disconnection when writing or saying my own name, like I dont know what it means.
Do I even know what I mean...?

I got rid of all my editing software since I haven't been shooting enough due to College, but I was itching to do some self portraits. I am actually very excited to solo play more and stop relying on things like, other people's schedules, my social anxiety, photoshop or lightroom.
So, obviously these aren't amazing shots but they are something I want to share, and will be sharing, as I experiment.

Who knew I turned 30 this year? Who thought I was older or younger...?
I find that I finally feel exactly my age, but I've been feeling 30 for the last few years so now it's like I'm frozen in time. Do you feel your age?

Who else lost their patience and shaved their head during quarantine!?
This is my third full head shave and this time I'm keeping it (for now anyways)
So lucky to have such an amazing photographer as my sister-in-law 📸

"Listen without being defensive!
If you're truly interested in genuine change, the most important development you can make is evolving your worldview. In fact, one can argue that being open to evolving your ideas is the precursor to even desiring to see change occur. But the most important part of active listening is fighting the human urge to respond to someone's social critiques by being defensive.
Sometimes when we hear someone explaining why something is negatively affecting them, we feel compelled to inform that person of all the ways our life is difficult, too. Or, we choose to only focus in on the one part of their analysis that possibly could be a negative statement about ourselves. It's critical to listen to groups like Black Lives Matter with an open mind and heart, instead of only selectively listening to the parts you want to contest."

"Are you sure you wanna shave your head again Mom...?"
Tonight at 9pm (join me live as I do the deed cause why not!)
