Storied, Thematic, Inspired My photography is meant to be healing and beautiful in nature. From boudoir to mental health, I create art to evoke emotion.

The Weight of Imposter Syndrome 📸 Imposter Syndrome is a silent dampener which constricts our belief that we’re achieving and creating great things. Invasive thoughts like thorns attack our minds. Is this really great? Am I doing enough to become better? Do people really think I’m good enough?

More legs and heels ✨ Model: Claire

It’s this wonderful human’s birthday today! So glad to call Soki a friend. Go wish this goofball a happy birthday on IG (babycobra3)!

The Weight of Suppression 📸 Relationships with other humans are topics of joy, but also of toxicity and mental burden. And sometimes abuse. (1)

The Weight of Derealization 📸 The weight of the world can be too cumbersome to bear, and thus triggers a neurological response. Anxiety. For some, there are panic attacks; for others, anxiety morphs into something so encompassing it removes one from reality. In frames: Candice

The Weight of Survivor’s Guilt 📸 There is no way to measure the weight of losing a friend or loved one to su!cide. When their story ends and yours continues, there are questions. What if I had reached out more? What if I was there to provide more comfort? Why couldn’t I have said “good-bye”?

Realized I haven’t posted pieces from my ongoing project, “The Weight”, on here.. Gonna remedy that!

A day-late tribute to my OG muse and friend. Turned 32 years young yesterday! Photos are from over the past 2 years of creating ✨ IG: __xoxoxj

“Bare”. No one is perfect, and often photographs tell us the lie that some are. But for every “imperfection,” there is a story. A battle. Beauty that should be understood rather than perceived. I’m incredibly proud of this set 🥹 @fluentindenim.bsky.social

I made protest art. The video is too long for this platform so I’m just going to share some of the images. These are dark so I am hiding them behind a graphic label and will give the CW: coercive control (no graphic violence) Reminder that though my art is mostly nude and boudoir, I am political.

Bluesky has yet to be graced with these fantastically cheeky reindeer boudoir shots of the lovely @brennan-twiceborn.bsky.social 🤩

The queen of the arch herself! @jademonet.bsky.social
