follow me on instagram ;)

gently reminding myself that I am not for everyone. and it’s OK. It means I am doing it right. when people are being their authentic selves they will either attract or repel. When you know what to expect and what you’re getting from a person that’s where the money is. // it’s when things get too ambiguous that it starts getting tricky. 🙅‍♀️ no to ambiguity 🙅‍♀️ and yes to clarity and clear communication ⚡️ photo is therapy. To see yourself from the outside. To see your life. Your features. your power, your innocence. Naive yet experienced. all part of what makes you you this is Kel and I, my high vibe friend with whom i float and glide through time and space balls deep into consciousness and the meaning of life. 👯‍♀️✨🦄⚡️#sodeep It’s not hard to keep up an image when you’re just being yourself. ⚡️ comfy is my favorite word. May you feel that with your people this holiday season 💛 you’re interesting and captivating irreplaceable weird. the good kind you’re beautiful. but not like that more than that Perhaps one of my favorite portraits I’ve ever taken. #mothermuse I’m so fascinated by women and the aura we possess to be captivating, strong, and self-sufficient. The intuitive feminine that knows without needing much. don’t know why I don’t share the party shots, they turn out to be some of the most memorable ones ⚡️🌿 // this is level 10 wasted in Thailand 🤘🏼😛 probs one of my favorite portraits I’ve ever shot. For my Utah friends that want to follow brands that are WOKE, follow @hijadetumadre now. and thanks to @yessicahc for inspiring me to be my more authentic self. You may recognize her from Buzzfeed ⚡️ for you guys’ information , it’s not a bouquet it’s a manquet - pronounced “man-kae” / 👬🖤 WHOAAAHHH. Hello new friends. You guys are probs here because of my dear friend @heathercrock and her super wild story. I’d like to acknowledge you for being here and supporting people and their stories. Putting yourself out there online ain’t easy, so props to you for supporting. Be sure to read the full story on her page and if you want more of the at home session, link in my bio. Have a good day now! ☀️ Places and people that make you feel ALIVE Going into business by yourself, you are putting yourself out there all you. . There’s no “manager” to reach out to, no HR that is gonna have your back. . It’s your name and your reputation all on display. . You gotta have your own back and know your worth. . Even when you are doing your best, you are still going to F it up. You will make mistakes, you will say the wrong thing, you will feel defeated and like you want to quit. . Very rarely have I had mishaps with clients and when I do, it freaking sucks. You must take accountability for your actions and learn those lessons the hard way. . However, it is all temporary. Give yourself grace and know that it’s all part of the process. ☀️ I work a 9/5. I am not a full time photographer. And I am so much happier now. My work is better than its ever been and I get to choose what I want for my life based on high self worth rather than low self worth aka desperation. • I cold turkey quit school. Quit the job I had. Thought I would just “figure it out” while freelancing without any kind of savings nor understanding of how to run a photography business. My skill level was definitely there but my business skills were lacking. • I was buying into the idea that I had to go live my dream no matter what. Not taking into account that I would be stressed because I wasn’t able to meet my basic necessities. Such as a roof over my head and food. Which in turn made me make a lot of unhealthy decisions with my life because it all came from a place of desperation. • Take it from me, you don’t have to hate your 9/5. You can transition into your “dream” if you do it right. Save your monies, find mentors, educate yourself, and know yourself to know what you require to be okay. Mental health first, everything else will follow. Hello. It’s me. The me that is known for having “honest” opinions. Or as I like to call them, truth bombs. The me that gets really scared that she will upset those around her or be looked at as a bitch for being “too honest.” Or scared that if she is too honest, she will be left. I’m not so sure why I am so obsessed with the truth but experience has taught me that sometimes not all of the “truth” needs to be said. Workin’ on it. ⚡️ this photo never gets old. // this venue was so perfect in every corner. We took some time away from the reception and this was before the “shot.” Turned out perfect ⚡️ These angel faces were a hipster photographer’s dreams. ☀️🌙 #sedonawedding #sedona
