Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but I also have and continue to spend a great deal of time in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Where my mum’s side of the family is from!)
How old are you?
My date of birth is April 29, 1993. You can do the math!
Why did you start your blog?
I originally began my blog because I was required to as a part of a school project when I was earning my first degree in photography. However, after working on Stark Raving Chic for an entire semester, I decided I actually enjoyed blogging a lot. So, I kept running it and that is why I still continue to do so today! My blog is honestly a huge creative outlet for me and I love how it lets me connect with others while expressing my creativity.
Where did you go to school and what do you do for full time work?
My first degree is in photography with a focus in documentary and editorial photojournalism, however I returned to school and got my undergrad degree in psychology and my masters degree in professional counseling. To achieve these degrees I attended The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Point Park University, and Carlow University respectively. I currently work as a Clinical Therapist (LPC), and though I am open to all clients, I specialize in substance use disorders/dual diagnosis mental health disorders.
What is your natural hair color?
Dark strawberry blonde.
How tall are you?
5'7"
Cats or dogs?
Though I love both, I tend to favor our feline companions.
Who takes your photographs?
Generally, my mum or Adam take my photographs, but on some occasions I shoot with local photographers and will always note and credit their work.
