March has been off to an amazing start and I can't believe we are already halfway through this month!
So let's catch up! :D
First things First--> The BIG Tour
I made some big moves by creating my first solo multi city/month long model tour!
Yes, I've done multi-city tours before but only in locations that were within 10 hours from my home base and only for a week at a time.
So what's different about this tour??
I traveled the majority of the east coast, beginning in Boston MA and "ending" in Miami Florida. The trip down was a little hasty as I was trying to reach Miami by a certain day so I could meet up with a certain someone ;) I made a few familiar stops on the way down and also worked with several new photographers in new locations as well!
I'm currently paused in Miami for two weeks before I turn around and head back up but a completely different route this time. I have had a blast shooting with what now seems like "old friends" here in Miami. I'm also happy to be creating with a new (to me) photographer tomorrow along with two other models. The theme is "Love of the Female Body". A lot of prep has gone into creating this shoot so I know it will be magical and I can't wait to share it all with you here!
And even more exciting: two of my closest friends will be joining me on the return trip!
Sophia Cilauro: A very talented model and wonderful friend that has traveled with me before to the DMV area. She and I will be shooting individually and together on this return trip!
Athenyx: I refer to her as the Jill of all trades! She and I go way back before my modeling days when we were just baristas at Starbucks. We became very close friends during the pandemic and things have stayed the same ever since. Though she has dabbled lightly in modeling, her preferred artistic role is behind the camera and web designing! So for those of you that have looked at my website, that is pretty much all her creative hard work.
I'm looking forward to continuing my updates on this trip and even back track to my February travels as well.
So much happening and such little time to do it all!
The images I shared above are from a shoot RockWay Beach outside of New York City with Troy Walker. These are raw images and only to be shared here on Patreon. This might have been my favorite part of the shoot because I love to climb trees... bring me back to being a kid in Belize. Troy's polished work can be found on both of our IGs and my website.
I'm also planning to start sharing photos from "behind-the-scenes" and just real life moments.... so stay connected because a lot is coming your way!
