Wow, I was going through my laptop files and came across a folder of photos from my first ever Shootfest I held in Temecula, California in 2016. They definitely brought about all of the feels. It's wild to me to think that was 3 years ago. The women that I met on this trip are some of the women who would shape my career here- not only on Suicide Girls but also as an Alt Model Photographer. Although my anxiety was through the roof and I (barely) knew what I was doing, I was so happy. I was eager. I was excited. Little did I know that venture would lead me to where I am today as a photographer, a traveler and as a person in so many aspects. You can't deny that with any business there are ups and downs, but the things I have learned and most of all the people I have met through this community- the friends, the memories, the photographs, the laughs, the tears, the bonds created... today I sit and look at these photos and can not imagine what my life would be like without these strong, empowering, talented, smart and absolutely beautiful women in my life. Whether we speak often or hardly at all, I hope you know what an impact you've had in my life. Although this is my full-time job, I think it will forever feel like a place for me to meet and hang out with some of the most amazing women in the world. The gratitude I feel for the opportunities i've had thus far and the people who have stuck by me, grown with me, supported with me, cried with me, healed with me, shared with me and let me share my passion with them is unreal. I love each and every one of you whom ive met in real life or even just on the web- thank you for being such supportive, loving babes.
