Dear former employers who terminated our relationship: I was a mess, I know. If I wasn’t, there is no reason you would have let me go. I have always been a hard worker and a loyal employee, but there was always something that grew inside and made me want to leave you. Because of my…
Five Reasons Why You Should Do Boudoir Photos RIGHT NOW.
I’ve been wanting to do boudoir photos. For myself, not for anyone else (because I’m not dating and giving your friends boudoir photos of yourself for gift-giving holidays is not my style). But like so many things in my life, I had let fear get the best of me. I had allowed my self-loathing to…

Day 12: Spiral Cut Fries
I hate Mondays. I don’t know how a day on the calendar can have so much power, probably because I give it power. But today has been a terrible Monday. Bad things started at 5am after a sleepless night (and I was in bed by 7pm, so I SHOULD have been well rested). It’s just…
