Thing I love number 4: bunnies. I’ve wanted one my whole life and it’s so cool how as an adult you can do what you want 🙃 soft, cute whimsical things are what I’m trying to fill my life with these days and they do. Plus they’re cottagecore 💁🏻‍♀️

Thing I love number 3: being an artist. I’ve been creating as long as I can remember. Burning through my parents and grandparents film, filling up notebook after notebook with stories. High school job placement tests never could define a practical job for me, but I found it. Self portrait from 2000.

Regretting not thrifting this.

Thing I love number 2: being a lover. It’s hard to put these kinds of things in order because they’re so different, yet inherently part of who I am. Sensuality is an enormous element of my being and so is being a nurturer. Us 📸 by @bradykenniston.bsky.social

Thing I love number one: being a mother. My identity in nurturing my kid and who we are becoming, together and apart but in relation to each other is the absolute most important part of my life, and my art making is almost exclusively rooted in this.

We need each other now, more than ever.

These are some of my favorite types of photographs to take: the little things in life told in a way that elevates it to magic status. Always on #film of course ;) trying to live a more analog life in the everyday and professional realms!

Went to @barnesandnoble.com today and left with tons of books added to my already impossibly long to-read list.

Also this. My life has become a lot more whimsical since my bestie @sarahgillphotog.bsky.social came into it a few years ago. Now my focus is almost always centered on whimsy. And not letting anyone else take control of my life (Sarah is a great coach to me on this, too!) 🧡

This is where I stand. On one hand, I’ve deliberated that I shouldn’t stay on meta and continue to support platforms that will continue to allow hate speech and falsities. On the other hand, my beloved hard-earned community is there, and community is everything now. My compromise: I’m also here now.
