Come As You Are
Hey friend, I know life can get messy, and those moments of frustration or unmet goals can make us feel small. But the truth is, we’re more than enough just as we are, even in those uncertain times. When we stop to let ourselves really feel, we can uncover beautiful truths, if we're open to it. We just need to avoid staying stuck in resentment—it’s a slippery slope that can dim our light.
I’ve been there too, frustrated with myself for not fully stepping into my voice, my truth. It’s not easy to face those inner shadows, but I’ve learned that no one is going to rescue me. I have to show up for myself. And so do you. So, let’s carve out that time and space for you to feel, flow, and rise up. You are so enough. Come, just as you are, and let’s explore your beautiful, real self together. Book your session with me, and let’s keep rising!
How Much Can You Love
Natalie, our muse pictured here, is a beautiful young and talented woman. She has lived all her life as a person confined to her wheelchair and crutches but not limited to them. I had some idea but really no idea how people are judged, and defined by their disabilities. We need to put an end to this now and do better as a whole. I’m honored and thrilled that we’ve gotten to work with Natalie a spirited artist in her own right. She showed us what it is to be brave and inspired us to learn and do more.
If she can do it – so can you! Change the way you view yourself and reach out to us once you see how worthy you truly are.
You are in control. It's not too late to take time to connect with yourself, listen to your heart, and just be good to yourself by consuming the right kind of energy. If this isn't sitting well with you, please ask yourself why? Why is loving on yourself triggering? If you don't want to answer and rather be comfortably uncomfortable that's fine too just remember that you are made of LOVE!
We are here to connect and create through good vibrations and we forever want to shine this light. That's why we do art + activity work we do and find time to send you a little love letter every month. Celebrate the little wins, take time to listen to your heart. When you're ready to change your limits into possibilities and believe that you can love more again hit us up. We'll be here ready to commemorate life with you.
Much Love,
PRI
You are the Main Character
Are you feeling yourself? I hope so because it is THE TIME TO SHINE. Recognize and Accept that you are the most important and amazing person in your life, no matter what's happening right now. You are! You are the creatress, the muse, the storyteller. If you don't believe me it's because you probably need to do some visualization.
I've been through some experiences that got me in situations that I didn't desire but a miracle happened once I started rewiring my thoughts with the help of visuals. By setting my day with meditation, breathwork, floral tonics, movement, and journaling as well as implementing photos, videos, and even designs to direct my vision and mold my brain - I healed and I've changed. It's been a year since I got into this daily focus-driven practice. Visualization has brought many gifts since then; I'm seeing it in my love life, career, family, friends, community, and skies the limit! I don't see myself ever stopping this practice because I'm finally able to truly be proud to be me shamelessly and to uplift others more genuinely, with more compassion.
Don't get walked over because you felt you had to get small to feel loved and seen instead continue to shine your light day by day by being bold and simply YOU in all your glory. Take time to practice visualizing your dream life by getting your creativity going, using your talents, and opening your heart to the vibes coming through to motivate your actions guiding you to be better than ever.
You have what it takes and I'm here for it!
Much Love,
PRI
ps huge special thanks to Jazz the lovely muse in this series
Flow Like Nature
My grandmother used to say, "Let me go out to water my plants before I do something that I may regret." She continued on by allowing her body to move through her ability from within. This is something that I still keep in the back of my mind. If we feed our anxiety rather than observe our thoughts how can we ever live in peace with each other by expressing what we need to say?
Take gentle care of your mind. Practice mindful activities and be progressive with your healing. Believe that you can change your trajectory by letting your light from within guide your mind. With time you will become a manifestation of love and kindness living your best life.
Much Love,
Pri

Determine Your Own Story
““I am a woman with thoughts and questions and shit to say. I say if I’m beautiful. I say if I’m strong. You will not determine my story—I will.”

Mother in Nature
I love Daniela’s energy so it was most def a given that I was excited to work with her when the opportunity came into play. It’s so much fun to work with a passionate and zesty person who trusts your creative process.
We took these gorgeous semi-nudes at Rock Creek, Maryland side, and walked around the premises early morning looking for a good spot. After a few minutes we found a couple areas for us to shoot away from the walkers, joggers and runners.
A sense of spontaneity is what I love to play with in these particular sessions. When our hearts are open we lighten up and are creativity gets boosted and so does our confidence. This is when we are closely aligned with our spirit.
The Heart
"There is no greater heaven than the heart of a loving mother
She takes care of you when you are still in her womb.
She nurtures you after you are born.
She hurts when you fall,
She celebrates when you make your first steps.
She is the only person who genuinely cares about you.
She loves you as she loves herself.
Her heart is your true paradise.
I love you mama."
— Bangambiki Habyarimana (The Great Pearl of Wisdom)
Operation: In These Streets
I had the good fortune of photographing my darling muse and transgender advocate Joanna Cifredo. We hanged out and walked around Adams Morgan, Washington DC in an early afternoon looking for nooks and crannies to shoot in. It’s always a spiritual moment when you connect with another soul but it takes courage, wisdom and strength to be able to tap into our creative geniuses and get vulnerable together. I don’t take this creative act of self-expression through vulnerability lightly. I’m grateful and I will always cherish my time with this beautiful Boriqua Woman that I call friend.
Invest on You
When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow."

Go Do You Little By Little
What Have you been up to ? Creating anything?
I've been moving and shifting into being more mindful in my creativity mostly due to this new normal life we are embarking on. Some readings by Julia Cameron has really helped. I officially changed my morning rituals and this has improved my daily journey. I feel compelled to share them with you below to help you navigate your daily life more fearlessly and free.
1. 20 minute walks every now and then (a moving meditation).
2.Write your Morning Pages (journal).
3. Take Yourself on an Artist Date (adventure out for 1hr on your own )
Also, Here's a Mantra to your meditation today:
I am the embodiment of God.I accept myself.
My life and purpose is becoming clearer.
I trust myself.
My life is thriving.
I love myself.
My life is abundant and beautiful.
May All beings be safe, find peace and happiness.
And so it is! ✨

Love You More
"Your body is yours. My body is mine. No one's body is up for comment. No matter how small, how large, how curvy, how flat. If you love you, then I love you."

A Serene Bride to Be
Thank you Britney for getting on the phone, and booking me and my team to help you create some dreamy photos to celebrate your new role in life. Respect your creative urges. You were made to create. Even if it doesn’t turn out perfect; art evolves and this is beautiful. You are incomparable.
Celebrating Life with Dora
This is my second session with Ms. Dora Daniel. She’s reached a milestone and she desired to invest on photographs again. For me, celebrations are always an honor to be a part of. Especially with someone so kind, generous and full of life. Always grateful for the opportunity to provide ecstatic experience to my beloved muses.
