Birthday Edit: Show Me Your Joy! 🎉

We’re still soaking up the joy for the next few hours, so if you’re nearby, stop by and celebrate with us! Today, we’ve captured a few lovely humans in full bloom, each one revealing their authentic selves in the quiet magic of my backyard. It’s incredible how much we can truly hear and see each other when we strip away the distractions and slow our heart rates down.

5 years ago I made the decision to quit alcohol, and it was then that I woke up to my body, my hypersensitivity, my anxiety, and my depression. Color became my lifeline when my brain felt stuck. From wearing it and seeing it, to playing with it and interacting with it—color has infused my life with joy every single day. I’m sharing my love of color because it’s transformed my world, and I want to share that gift with you.

Today, David and I dyed up new outfits and embraced our unique styles. We pulled out the bubbles, played with clay, and co-created a beautiful tapestry with others—each person’s dash was a stunning expression of their joy. There’s something truly transformative about creating together, letting colors and patterns tell our stories.

If you’re ready to get your hands dirty and explore how color can shift your mood, I’ve just added new sessions to my website: personal, guided, and solo experiences tailored for anyone wanting to dive into the vibrant world of dash dyeing. Whether you want to express your creativity in a personal session, share the joy in a group, or explore independently, there’s a space for you to discover the healing power of color.

And if you’d rather simply bask in the joy, I’m also offering portrait sessions where you can show up as your radiant self, and we’ll capture your essence in full bloom.

Let’s play with color, share our stories, and celebrate the beauty of showing up as our true selves. Head to my website to book a session—let’s create something joyful together! 🌈💫

✨ The Grays: Mist Gray, Charcoal Gray, & Brushed Steel ✨

Wearing cool neutrals like Mist Gray, Charcoal Gray, and Brushed Steel feels like a breath of fresh air—calming, grounding, and effortlessly chic. These shades offer a quiet confidence and a sense of stability that I find soothing. They remind me of moments of stillness and clarity, offering a sense of balance and peace. In these tones, I feel reflective and at ease, able to pause and connect deeply with my surroundings. 🌫️🖤

These cool neutrals are all around us, in the soft gray of an overcast sky, the brushed steel of modern architecture, and the charcoal shadows that dance in the twilight. They serve as nature’s backdrop, offering a neutral canvas that allows other colors to shine. These hues are understated yet powerful, blending seamlessly with the vibrancy of life while anchoring us in their quiet strength. 🌌🏙️

Come experience the calming power of cool neutrals at Creston Pride this Sunday! We’ll be vending at 123 Caledonia Dr NE, Grand Rapids, MI, from noon to 6 p.m. alongside a fabulous lineup of queer artists. Discover our new collection of bandanas and kerchiefs in these soothing shades, and explore the full rainbow spectrum we’ll be bringing along! Let’s celebrate color, creativity, and community together. See you there! 🌈✨
