HELLOOOO everyone out there in SG land. :)

I thought it was time to check in with a blog and I also wanted to do some of my SG homework. Sorry @missy @rambo and @lyxzen that it's late. My dog ate it. :) Living on the road is tough. ;)

<3 Zen the dog


Anyway, I decided to combine 2 topics with something that I have been meaning to blog about for a while... my new city and life in Santa Cruz!

So I am going to bang out 2 August topics that I missed and catch you up on my first year in Santa Cruz all at once.:

8/1: Be our tour guide to your city!

8/15: Describe your perfect day.

Santa Cruz....where every day is my perfect day.

I am so in love with my city, and I truly believe it is the best city in the US,........which is why I live here. Every since I was in middle school I have known that I was not someone who would spend my life in my hometown. I am from Long Island, NY and a more fast paced, crowded life there could not be. I went away to college as soon as I graduated from high school, and backbacked throughout Europe as soon as I graduated from college, and have been traveling ever since....

I traveled all over the US for years and then the west coast for 2 years before I found and decided on Santa Cruz as my future home. For me, it has everything.... Beaches, mountains, a rad local art scene, weed laws/civic minded community, great weather, and a positive vibe.

I've been in Santa Cruz for a full year now, and feel more and more at home here with every month that goes by and with every trip that I return from and call here home <3

I haven't been this happy in a long time. Lots of things still falling in to place, but I can feel my energies on the right frequency and the universe responding to it, and I know I am on the right path.

Santa Cruz has been the most supportive community for me to move into and start an SG community! The support I am getting for my for women by women photoshoots has been a pretty amazing. And it is so beautiful here that it has been the perfect studio for me while I am getting settled and saving up for my next indoor one. ;) I've shot over 25 sets here in my new city and currently have over 20 Santa Cruz hopefuls with sets either in the queue or being prepped this month...

It's like I can see the future. In less than 2 years, my Santa Cruz community will have tons of SGs and be one of the most active SG communities on the site. ;)

Here is the early days of Santa Cruz SG. :) :)

@nubia with help from @_prisma_

from our set coming to member review next week!!

@omenchick visits from Hawaii so we are counting her as a Santa Cruz hopeful <3


we shot 2. Hawaii is kind of far.

@jinxxy an outtake from our first set coming this month to member review and a preview from our second set coming soon to member review

and a shot from our second set that I just started prepping.

@brii coming soon to member review queue sooooon.

@owsley_ in the queue... coming soon to member review

@kenai this lady was a Powder Puff Pinups boudoir shoot contest winner. She shows up to the shoot and she's tattooed and adorable and she jokes about her boobs being out, so I'm like haaaave you heard of SuicideGirls.... long story short, her first set hits the queue in 4 months : :)

@dabalinasuicide coming soon to the queue

first photo from our practice shoot, second photo from our set coming to the queue this week!

@dahliah set coming soon to the queue

an outtake from @curvyqueen32 first shoot

@christinairma coming this month to member review

@sarissle from some fun 420pinups that we shot after her SG set <3 her set is in the queue! <3

2 other SGs have been hanging out with me in Santa Cruz on the reg.

@boomie

our second collaboration coming soon to the queue.

And check out our current set that is now in member review: Boomie Bones it was also shot in Santa Cruz :)

And also, one of my favorite SGs and friends for years moved to Santa Cruz at the same time as me, and we have had a few shooting adventures ;)

SG @rowdi coming soon to member review :)

AND a few hopefuls that I shot when I first moved here that have already hit member review:

@younglust from Younglust-Golden Bones

outtake from my set with @elvis_munster

Under the Boardwalk

and another technically not Santa Cruz girl, but she visits a lot and she flew here to shoot here set...and we are working on getting her to move to Santa Cruz, so we are counting her as a Santa Cruz hopeful for now...even though technicalllly she's in Utah ;)

@savor Savor- Dream

and a BUNCH of girls that I got to meet at our first SG local meetup that I haven't even shot yet! :D :D :D

Other random awesome stuff other than girls that I have shot make SC fantastic as well..........in no real order...

This rainbow around the sun is called a sundog. I had never heard of it until I lived in Santa Cruz, but it's happened a few times this past year. It's pretty beautiful.

One of my favorite things about Santa Cruz is that you can see sea lions in the wild every day.

I got to take @prussia @paprika and @boomie to see them when they all visited me at the same time a few months ago <3

having girls visit me is one of the best things about living in such a rad city.

and palm trees <3

And I get to watch the sun set over the ocean every night...

and watch the surfers during the day

locations for my 420pinups are plentiful ;)

did I mention, it is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been?

So if you happen to be in the most beautiful city in the US and you see me, make sure you say hi, maybe puff a joint with me :)

love my roommates!

living out of a tent and a suitcase in friends yard has been an experience, but the focus on my career and the travel I have been able to do has been worth it. And one day I will look back and long for the days when I was so free

Wild and Free
