BTS of a guided self-portrait session
Want to see what a guided self-portrait session can look like? Check out my session with Jill! Jill had been talking herself out of doing maternity photos, but had concepts in mind she kept coming back to. So I helped her bring these ideas to life during her first...
My body was talking to me – and I couldn’t ignore it
When I was 24, I was working part-time at a grocery store while I finished my master’s degree. After I graduated, I kept the job while I searched for a better job (and/or an opportunity to travel). It was in this job, in that uniform, that a man asked me for my...

A better question than, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
When I was little, I wanted to be a blue dog. I wanted to be an actress, or a model. I wanted to be an adventuring archaeologist, like Indiana Jones. A marine biologist. A veterinarian. A spy. A lawyer. A writer. An anthropologist. A photojournalist. People ask you,...
Engage Your Human Design Super Sense (Cognition): Taste Edition
I decided to start writing this series mostly as a way to approach human design with a bit more fun. I find we can get wrapped up in the wealth of information and all the technicalities of it, that it starts to feel draining (said the projector with open head and ajna...
