Self-love journey. Van life adventures ;🚐🏳️‍🌈 Spicy Boudoir Photographer- @naughtybynaturephotography

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

A few for now from my session with Tawny @naughtybynatureboudoir 🫶🏻 I had a great time and I’m loving the shots! I’m glad I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone, I did this because I wanted a little self love and to document me at 30 since I rarely find myself in front of the lens 🖤

After crashing my rig in December, I wasn't entirely sure about going to @vanlifepride. I was struggling with trying to pivot and adjust to a new life with so much uncertainty hanging over my head (Would my van be repaired? How would I get my things out of Mexico?). But being in community with my fellow nomadic queers was just what the doctor ordered. Had so many great conversations this weekend about intentionality and showing up radically for our communities with friends, both old and new 🌈💕

Roughly 6.5 miles of laughter, jokes, and questionable navigation skills (looking at you, wrong turn). From trudging through endless sandy washes in the scorching sun that felt like walking in slow-mo, to fun rock scrambling like we were in a full-on adult-sized playground, this hike had it all.

The highlight? Sarah’s Crack Slot Canyon, of course — but the real payoff came when we reached the lake. The breathtaking views and time spent by the water made every bit of sand and gravel in our boots completely worth it!

Jessa’s first hike in the backpack was a total success (she was living her best life), and our crew kept the energy up with endless laughs and playful antics that brought out our inner-child.

There’s so much beauty to discover on this planet we call home, especially when surrounded by great friends. This hike wasn’t just about the miles we covered, but about the memories we created along the way. So grateful for every moment of this adventure, the friends who made it even more meaningful, and even the muscle aches that’ll last a lot longer than the views.

January was a month for the books. From ringing in the New Year with good friends, to celebrating Pride in the Desert and the chaos of SkooliePalooza, it felt like each moment was a beautiful reminder of the joy that comes with being surrounded by people you love.

After the whirlwind, we slowed down and spent some quiet days recouping, just a few of us, finding peace in the simplicity of nature and chill vibes.

The sunsets, the endless skies, and the raw beauty of the desert made everything feel so much more meaningful. It’s not just about the places or events; it’s about the moments shared with friends, and the laughter that echoes long after.

Grateful for these unforgettable times and the amazing friends, old and new, who make every adventure so special.

My Pride in the Desert RECAP!

This was my first pride event with nomads and it did not disappoint! I didn’t take as many videos because this was a really sacred and safe space that I wanted to be in and protect.

Some of the moments I captured include
my camp set up,
the gorgeous sunsets in the desert,
my outfits - of course-,
watching Wicked on a projector with a group before the event even started,
getting a tattoo from @cedarcreature
yoga classes by @alaunaroby
a community potluck (I made charcuterie on a stick!) having new friends in Picasso @alaunaroby @healingis_hot @the_desert_belle
the amazing fires at center camp,
performances,
open mics,
a poetry slam,
getting ramen from @letsplayrideandseek,
my astrology workshop (thank you @creatingtawny for capturing some photos & video for me!)
electrical lesson from @travelingboutz
some full moon appreciation,
@healingis_hot and I had a full moon releasing ceremony with a little fire I made by our camp 🔥

It all went by too quickly but I am happy to have made the connections I did and I look forward to building them and reconnecting again.

Thank you to @vanlifepride for organizing and welcoming me in to share my love of astrology with others! 🪐✨

Thank you to everyone who got readings from me! All of the readings I did felt so purposeful and charged. 🙏🏼✨

I love my little nomad life. 💕✨🚛🌕🌵🧚🏼‍♀️🔥🙏🏼

A Very Havasu Christmas 🎄

This has been an amazing week!
Nomads of all sorts: #vanlife #buslife #rvlife #ambulancelife #tentlife #nomadlife
Gathered in Havasu for our first annual Christmas!

We have hiked, played games, jammed out, karaoke, crafted, baked, fellowshipped, eaten great food, and made lifelong connections. 🫶🏼

Just because you live on the road, doesn’t mean holidays have to be lonely. Find your tribe!
