My Cross-Country Tour/Move from Gainesville, Florida to San Francisco, California went amazing. There were definitely some stressful points (like how we had to start 3 days late because I got really sick), but overall trip was absolutely great. I’ll talk about the trip in my individual posts about the shoots, but I just wanted to thank the individuals who made our trip fucking wonderful.
Huge thank yous and hugs to Corwin Prescott and Nicole Vaunt (and their puppy, Franco), Megan Gardner Photography/Nova, and Jessie Marie Makeup Artistry (and her puppy) for letting us crash with them. They are absolutely amazing friends and artists, so if you have the chance to work with any of them, please take it. You will not regret it in the slightest.
And a big thank you to all of the other artists that I worked with along the way. You helped make my trip absolutely awesome and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of it.

There are a ton photos out from the trip and lots lots more to come. There are Zivity sets published here. There are photosets available here. There are instax available here. There are desktop wallpapers available here.
Just lots of photos you can check out already, and lots more to look forward to.
I also want to thank anyone who donated to my GoFundMe campaign and helped fund the trip. You guys were incredibly helpful. I had a lot of cancellations and flakes, and there were a few times we would have been stranded.
I will be contacting people regarding rewards very soon (I promise I haven’t forgotten!), and will be getting prints and custom sets out to you.
And we’re still in need of all of our furniture (thankfully we have been able to purchase a bed, but that’s it), so it’s still open and all rewards are still available, and I plan to add more options.
And I want to thank anyone who has sent me anything off my wishlists. You assist me in keeping my wardrobe fresh and interesting for photographers, especially when I plan for a big trip because I usually am unable to shop during those months. Thank you!!
And I want to end this by just thanking everyone for all of your support throughout any part of my career that you’ve been following it, whether it’s been 5 years or 5 days. That means the world to me. All I want to do is create pretty things that people like, and I’m so glad I can do that.
Thank you . ❤
