Have you ever felt like you are missing your crowd? Like part of your life is incomplete?

I’ve been struggling to find my people since as far as I can remember. A big part of it, I will admit, was me not giving myself permission to be ME. I felt like I needed to be ashamed of my interest in sexuality and the female form....

It’s something I’ve heard a lot, especially making the transition from freebies to paid shoots. The price of cameras are down and the ease of use is up. So how can a photographer justify charging $1,000+ for a session?

Are there things you are insecure about with your body?

Oh let me count the ways!…

Hey everybody! How are you doing? Here I sit watching my boys play video games. I’m feeling pretty done with dating apps, but I’m definitely in a place where I’m ready to start seeing someone.

I’m enjoying relearning about the Law of Attraction. When I became a life coach, this is the kind of stuff that got me into it.

So it appears I’ve attracted someone incredible to my life. She’s older than me, has kids much older than mine (16 & 18). But she gets me... for the most part.

It’s not so much a romantic thing as it is an intellectual thing. But either way... it’s nice.

She’s helping me to recognize what I want and where I’ve been holding myself back. My...
