"Selkie" refers to a creature from Scottish and Irish folklore. It's a shapeshifter that can transform between a human and a seal. Selkies are often depicted as being able to shed their seal skin to become human, and vice versa, spending time in both worlds.
A tribute to raw femininity — soft light, wind-touched hair, and a silent emotional force. Inspired by the timeless aesthetics of Peter Lindbergh, this portrait captures both strength and fragility in one frame.
Посвящение чистой женственности — мягкий свет, волосы, тронутые ветром, и тихая эмоциональная сила. Вдохновлённый вневременной эстетикой Питера Линдберга, этот портрет сочетает в одном кадре и силу, и хрупкость.
"The ego believes in itself, not in the Guru
The Ego even wants the Guru to believe in it (Ego) instead"
ClicK:
A study of elegance and contrast—soft curves framed by delicate fabric and shadows. The interplay of light and texture adds a layer of mystery, leaving just enough unseen to spark imagination.
“I hope you will go out and let stories, that is life, happen to you, and that you will work with these stories... water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”
― Clarissa Pinkola Estés

I had the honor of collaborating with an incredible florist called Ace (IG: @aceinfullbloom) in Houston.
We worked with two stunning models, and the first in this set features the lovely Danielle Nicole. She’s such an inspiring muse and an absolute dream to create with - highly recommend her if you’re a photographer seeking someone to bring your vision to life 💕
I wonder if it’s age, experience, or simply the pursuit of capturing the otherworldly, photography for me is a storytelling gateway, a portal to faraway worlds where the sacred feminine and nature coexist in harmony, embraced and protected 🌿🌱
This year marks a decade of honing my craft, and yet, every time I share my work, I still feel those familiar nerves. Maybe this is a lifetime’s work in progress
As much as I’ve always loved playing with color, I confess finding the right balance in tones is nearly always challenging 😅 Lately, I’ve noticed my attraction shifting toward more vibrant palettes. If you’ve checked out my latest color toning collections (Fine Art, Location, & Studio), you’ll see just how much more explorative my color choices have become - www.onlythecurious.com
For the first two images, I used the Celestial Backdrops from my store. Digital backdrops really help me bring some magic to the studio work. It’s honestly a little addictive!

In this course, I share how to break free from the limitations of traditional posing :)
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, its age-old pain,
Its ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell -
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man’s days both past and forever:
Universal joy, universal sorrow, universal life.
The memories of all loves merging with this one love of ours -
And the songs of every poet past and forever.
Words by Rabindranath Tagore

Moving to Houston and working with the talented creatives here has really opened my worlds. In this picture I can see my husband's influence in the perspective and selection choice.
Incidentally he assisted me in lighting this set :)
I love that we have photography as our shared passion. It's quite fun to grow together in life and creativity with one's best friend.

"Do listen.
Do be assured of it in your heart,
my littlest one
that nothing at all should alarm you,
should trouble you,
nor in any way disturb
your countenance, your heart. . .
For am I not here,
I, your Mother?
Are you not in the cool of my shadow?
In the breeziness of my shade?
Is it not I that am
your source of contentment?
Are you not cradled in my mantle?
cuddled in the crossing of my arms?
Is there anything else for you to need?"
—Our Lady of Guadalupe

"Feminine energy is powerful because it is pure presence -- gentle yet firm. It is an energy that gives warmth, comfort, and spirit simply by its presence. It receives rather than takes. It invites rather than demands. It unfolds rather than controls. It empowers rather than overpowers. It finds itself in being rather than in doing. Feminine energy shows her best face in leisure. She doesn't take time. She has time. She has time to be. The world is starving for this energy. It is part of the fire Christ came to cast on the earth - a slow flame that burns from within and gradually transforms what it touches, precisely because it touches rather than clutches.”
—MACRINA WIEDERKEHR, “A Tree Full of Angels, Seeing the Holy in the Ordinary”, Harper Collins Publishers

I found this church/shrine a comforting place to be while I was in Santa Fe this summer. A much smaller place than the St. Francis cathedral in the downtown, and less visited, but this place felt instantly homelike. The priest gave an inspiring talk about how the face of God looks different depending on your culture/background. It kind of felt like being in Divine Mother's womb, a good place to be as I prayed for my brother who was struggling with pancreatic cancer.
