I couldn’t close the year without sharing these photos from the first Open Studio session I hosted earlier this Fall.The space was intimate. open. affirming.A beautiful reminder of what happens when women show up open-hearted, fully present and trust your eye, even when you’re still learning to trust it again yourself.Photography, my art in general became less about output, more about alignment this year. About noticing what reignites the passion in me. I didn’t shoot much portraiture, but when I did, it mattered.To me.To more creative, IRL, soul-filled moments in 2026. 🤎#nycphotographer #blackwomenphotographers #portraitphotographer by @melanebony

This was a really special one for me. It’s been longer than a while but I’m grateful as hell to have some of those creative juices flowing again when it comes to photography. Shoutout to talented, supportive, patient friends willing and able to create with you and DELIVER. I really missed this.
