Good morning friends! I have been taking a little time the past few weeks after losing my grandfather followed by my 50th (??!!) birthday but wanted to come make a little announcement. Things are quiet for now as I am working on building something amazing! One of my dreams in life has been to make a stable living doing the things I love.
As a massage therapist, for the past nearly 11 years, I have been blessed to help people. While that is not going anywhere, anytime soon, my body is tired and I will be putting more effort into building the art business I have always wanted to.

New website.
New products.
Book releases.
Photography.
Classes.
Independent art shows and pop up shops.

Do I have a timeline? It's flexible because sometimes the grief dictates the things. Will it be sooner than later? I sure hope so!
In the meantime, it is Senior Pic season and I have some openings available for outdoor shoots!

Reach out for availability and pricing!

Here are some throwbacks from my portfolio that I will be using in an upcoming project

Today is Juneteenth!
However, it is not about me.
Here are some fantastic Black owned and operated local businesses you should check out and support.
I also want to include one of my personal favorites,
CáMora Personal Care Products
Monique has built this amazing business and her products are top tier!

Here is a sampling of Black-owned businesses and Black-established attractions making an impact in Omaha that are worthy of your bucket list.

Hi friends. You will notice a bit more activity here and on our Instagram in the coming weeks as we begin making some forward motion.
As I move into the next phase of my life (how in the heck am I almost 50 🤯), I will be transitioning to putting more focus on art, photography and all things creative.
Here are some neat pictures I took recently in Minnesota that will be part of an upcoming project. Please dont steal them ;)

As an artist, we often draw from life in our creative work. I am currently on an intense healing journey. After five years of nonstop grief and trauma, I am in the midst of extensive and incredibly hard work to heal my soul which includes EMDR therapy.
I havent painted in some time and as I am working through the things, I am reminded how therapeutic it has been for me.
Last night, I went for a walk at the park Fi and I frequented.
It opened a flood of emotions and this was how I spent the rest of the night.

One of my goals for 50 (how am I going to be 50????) is to finally produce that art show later this year. I think "Chester" will be included.

I am also working to have prints available of some of my pieces and photographs in the coming months.

I hope everyone is having a peaceful holiday season. I dont get behind the lens as often as I would like while I have been focusing on some life and I am excited to offer more availability for 2026.
Yesterday, I had the honor of capturing some engagement pics for one of my daughters best friends. These two are reconnected high school sweethearts and I am so excited for them! So stinking cute!!!

If you have a special event or need updated family pictures in 2026, please reach out for availability and pricing options!
