Having recently submited my 5th set into the queue, I thought it might be fun to look back at the sets I have so far! I only started submitting sets last year, but there's definitely a difference! Both physically and in confidence!
Sneak peeks at upcoming sets included!

My first ever set and photoshoot!
I recall being so nervous this day!! Almost to the point of straight up chickening out! Thankfully I had @whisky_crab and @max_f_lawless with me, egging me on and literally taking me to the shoot! As well as @shaggybickford1981 cheering me on from a distance!
I loved that this was shot in a tiny house! It was so cozy, not a whole lot of room to move around, though!
@aurralee was such a chill person and made my whole shooting experience very fun! I was so grateful for her guidance in poses and I felt kinda bad because she kept bonking her head on the low ceilings!! I was very demure(shy) during this shoot, had no idea what I was doing and definitely did not have much confidence!

Another shoot done almost a year after my first with the lovely @aurralee again! It would have been sooner, but life got in the way!
I had just gotten home from camping for a week and I was loving the slight tan I had going on in this one! I wanted to try and go for an opposite look compared to my first set, the body harness being a gift from one of you!!
I got a lot of messages after this one released saying that they were NOT expecting the body harness underneath at all. It was a nice surprise 😉
It's nice to see that I started gaining a little bit of healthy weight here! I was still pretty demure(shy) in this set, but you can definitely see the confidence in me growing!

So many laughs were had during this set! A lot of test shots and a lot of me making funny faces during them! I was a little nervous during this one, with it being a different photographer, but I got comfortable pretty quickly once we started shooting!
@laurentphotog shot this one and he was so much fun to work with! Lighting was a bit difficult due to there not being any windows in the area of the studio we were shooting in, but he made it work and I was so happy to see the finished set!

Uggggh, that dresssss! I love that dress so much. I had gotten it originally for a wedding I had to attend(my old one wouldn't fit anymore because of the weight I gained), and as soon as I had worn it once, I knew I had to shoot a set in it! Felt it was time for a more elegant look! AND IT HAS POCKETS
@crunkmonk had reached out and wanted to collaborate with me for a set and I happily agreed! He was a lot of fun to work with and I loved all the different angles he used!
Loving the noticeable squish I have in this one!

Just want to say that the morning this was shot was absolutely perfect! The whole bathroom(which was huge, by the way) was filled with this golden light as the sun rose on a clear day. It was magical! The bathtub was also gigantic! I felt like i was swimming in it!
A second set shot with @crunkmonk ! Was definitely difficult to do a whole set with just one article of clothing on, but we pulled off wonderfully!! This one may be my favorite set so far, and I love all of my sets!
Whew! This is for sure my longest blog post that wasn't a questionairre! Props to you for reading it all!
It's so fun to go back and see how I used to be in these sets and how things have changed. Definitely have a lot more ink now(and I'm not done yet)! And I for sure am looking a lot more healthy, too!
I think maybe I'll do a blog like this every 5 sets, too, I think it's fun to see progeress all in one spot!
Here's hoping to a good year in 2024!
Thanks for reading!!
With Lots of Love,
