The first photographer I ever spoke/shot with asked me about how comfortable I was in front of the camera. I responded with a genuine "It's not so bad." And he responded with "Now how comfortable would you be topless?" The next session I went to I brought my boyfriend to try and buffer the situation,… Continue reading Story 1: The WOW Project

Leftover Crumbs
Passover is on its way! I have to admit that I am loading up on carbs this week. People who don't observe Passover don't truly understand the struggle of avoiding bagels for a week, especially because we are around items with levening. Passover has many traditions and rituals. One of them is to completely clean… Continue reading Leftover Crumbs
If We Took Worship Songs Seriously …
Shabbat Shalom! I hope that you have had shalom with God this weekend. I have been disturbed with a phenomenon going on in the church. This is not a new trend by any means. The phenomenon is worship music! Sounds kinda strange and off beat, right? Well, in some ways it is. I sit in… Continue reading If We Took Worship Songs Seriously …

During the course of this school year I had to take personality tests to learn what my love language is. When I reviewed my answers and added up the score, I realized that my… Continue reading Express – Go!

The color of the produce is beautiful and within that limited space I see endless possibilities of combinations to bring into the… Continue reading The Hour Glass
Once Upon A Time
The world is obsessed with telling stories. In nearly every aspect of life stories are being told and heard. Television, books, art, social media, dance, plays, and performances. All of these elements of life are telling a story. We try to escape our own reality by living through someone else's even if they are fictional… Continue reading Once Upon A Time

To a woman it is dangerous to read a magazine, especially, fashion magazines. Women of all ages are constantly bombarded with images of what the media says we are suppose to look like, especially teenagers. Teenagers are vulnerable and ultimately looking for acceptance. February was National Eating Disorder Awareness month. I apologize that I did… Continue reading Be-YOU-tee-FULL

Although some may disagree, life is fair in the way that you get out of it what you invest in it. It is fun because we all blindly wake up not knowing what will happen and walk through to the evening never knowing what will happen. Sometimes the great Lord gives us detours in our… Continue reading Re-routing

Do you ever notice that notice that who look like each other are often friends with each other? No matter where you go Aclose friends will often times have similar occupation, world views, social class, and maybe even dress like each other. I understand why people do this. We find comfort in spending time with… Continue reading sTeReOtYpEs
