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 Unpublished my very inactive fb page and have been very blog active.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.
More info on the post I shared the other day about social media decisions up on my blog. Link in bio. Gonna share blog updates and new images here still, just likely not regularly. Thanks for all your support in all avenues.
