โก๏ธ Iโm only posting intentionally. Iโll be sharing for me, my tribe, and to inspire others. To show the strength of the people who believe in themselves enough to step in front of my camera and let me show their souls. ๐ฏ
Enjoy these photos of Dee that I captured on a whim. Sparks of ideas ignited by an evening with so much creativity in the air. The first two play with lighting and the last one is a shot of her pre-performance; nervous, eager, and still confident.
