Untitled, 2012
Some simple blog posts this week but I hope you'll check em out. Have some one off photos planned weirdly enough. One based on a dream, so channeling that #surreal still, but then that streak is probably here to stay since I've been dabbling in it since 2013. 🤷‍♀️
3 part series, info behind it and behind the scenes on the blog. Link in bio. Unpublished my very inactive fb page and have been very blog active. Getting to a good balance.
