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...

Ditching the Deo: Products that can be used instead of deodorant (October 15, 2021)

Energy During a Photo Shoot: Yes, It Makes a Difference
I want to talk about confidence. Confidence has been a big theme for me, one because of my own personal growth journey, and two, because as a photographer, it comes up a lot with my clients. From my clients, I often hear: “I need a LOT of direction.” “I’m super...
