When I was freelancing by myself out of our “dining room-meets-living-room-meets-office,” I met Matt on a web design project. He was the developer and it was honestly one of the first websites I ever created. After collaborating a couple more times, he gradually came on as The Wonder Jam’s developer! We were so excited when we found out his band (The Local Strangers…I designed their logo!) would be embarking on a house tour this spring!

A few weeks ago, we hosted a studio concert and invited all of our favorite people. Pro tip: snag an amazing mixologist, provide free alcohol + get great music. Then your party will be complete.

Without realizing it, this was sort of our “Happy 2nd birthday to The Wonder Jam” party. We had one two years ago when we launched and another last May. Eventually, we’ll just be in the business of throwing parties. Next up…summer barbecue!

  • I’m teaming up with @thewildflowerenthusiast and we’re hosting a Flower Crown Portrait Day on April 6th! You’re a piece of art, you might as well document it. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up in the Met if I do my job right. Limited slots - link in bio!
  • *and grew up in a supportive home, had family that helped put me in semi-private art lessons or buy my art supplies, had parents who never put pressure on me to be something I wasn’t, had a grandpa who helped put me through college, married a feminist who later became my business partner, is surrounded by a team / friends / clients who support me and in a city that allows for it all. But, yes, I am self-made in that I don’t have a trust fund or have needed to seek investors or a business loan. I’m thankful for my privilege and work hard as hell.
  • I’m co-hosting an event with @achearedd of @realgirlsfart here at @thewonderjam on Saturday February 23rd. I’ll be on a panel alongside @dejacierston + @chanelleredman of @bereplenish and @native_mama__ + @lovey_doves_ of @nativecoldpressed. I’ll ALSO be taking portraits of individuals and best friends. The most affordable portrait price I’ll ever offer :) $35 for one ticket or $60 for a pair. Link in bio.
  • I’ve been a godparent for over a month and have already cheered about a poopy diaper. 2019 is shaping up to be one of my favorite years already.
  • Representation matters - and that includes photos of you circulating in this big world of ours. I have a fun portrait project up my sleeve and it involves photographing people who can’t afford it, who don’t see themselves in pop culture or someone who hides in the shadows. And not just women! I’m accepting applicants for this one. Link in bio. And you can nominate someone by filling it out for them or sharing the link with them! ◽️ Recent portrait work from this month. Thank you, beautiful people, for letting me take your photo!
