It's my 11 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Feels awkward to know I've had this page for 11 years and... Mostly forgot about it after Tumblr purged stuff ages back. Maybe I'll get around to posting things again...

Trying to stay productive while being overwhelmed and overworked at my day job. I’ve been working near non-stop since the con ended and still trying to edit photos between the brief moments I have, which are seriously few and far between. Hopefully, I can get more than one set of photos done this weekend and start going through the hallway shots immediately after! #hopeforthebest

One of the cooler shots that the poor weather at MTAC helped create while shooting with @biohazardous_misa! Huzzah raindrops on the lens! 🤣

Adding another to the list, this was also shot at #animeweekendatlanta last year! Oddly enough, we had ended using the location after being kicked out of the parking garage just moments before. Worked out for the best!

Since I’m pretty bad about posting stuff from private shoots on my page, I figured I’d try and post more of that to give people a better understanding of what some of them look like.

Missed throw back Thursday by a few hours, so here’s #flashbackfriday!

This one comes from @akaiconofficial 2013 in one of the first shoots I had done at a con and with @lolichan.cos

So much has happened since then.

First Monday of 2018!

Life has been pretty hectic lately, but with things starting to settle a bit, I’m trying to get back into posting regularly, along with not ghosting all of my social media. Expect more posts to come!

Super late #throwbackthursday post! @pale_mikailek posted one of the shots I took from when we were at #animeblastchattanooga2015 and I couldn’t help but to post some more. Man, it was super freaking cold that year and @pale_mikailek was a trooper posing for photos outside!
