Want to see some of my favorite photos I’ve taken over the years?

I was going through my favorites photo album and it was interesting watching my style evolve over the years and my confidence starting to shine. I’m not a professional in any area of my life, but I’m drawn to makeup and styling a photo that provokes all the feels. Why? I just like making cool stuff! I’m looking for tribe!

... Read moreLooking back at a collection of personal photos is more than just nostalgia—it’s an insightful way to track growth in creativity and self-expression. Many people, even if not professional photographers or makeup artists, find joy in experimenting with styles and capturing moments that resonate emotionally. Over time, these images tell a story of evolving tastes, improving skills, and increasing confidence. If you enjoy makeup and styling, consider this practice a personal art form. It’s less about perfection and more about authentic expression that connects with your feelings. Experimentation with lighting, angles, and makeup techniques can dramatically change the mood a photo conveys, allowing you to evoke those “all the feels” moments that make your collection special. Building a community or "tribe" of like-minded creatives is a powerful way to enhance this journey. Engaging with others who share your passion for photography and styling offers opportunities for feedback, inspiration, and collaboration. Whether through social media platforms, local artist groups, or online forums, finding this tribe can help push your creative boundaries further. Remember, the evolution seen in your photos mirrors personal growth in many areas—confidence, artistic vision, and self-awareness. Embracing this process not only hones your craft but deepens your appreciation of your unique style journey. So keep experimenting, keep sharing, and most importantly, enjoy creating those cool, feel-provoking photos that reflect who you are.

Here are some photos I’ve taken!! 🤍✨ I don’t really know how to say this perfectly, but these mean a lot to me. Every session I shoot, I’m not just taking pictures… I’m trying to capture how it felt in that moment. The laughs, the little looks, the in-between stuff that usually goes unnoticed.
