Boy! What a difference 15 years can make! My first shoot with Daddyboy was Wednesday, December 22, 2010 and the most recent was Monday, December 22, 2025. Boy went from a (twentysomething) boy to a man. Time flies when you're having fun! 🐻🔥❤️

Max!!! Max is the sweetest straight guy and I’m desperate (and you can clearly see why) to photograph him, but even more than that I’m desperate to hang out with him because he’s so sweet and so cool. (Geeks like me need cool guys as friends!) ☺️

The new logo in "synthwave" mode, along with a possible promo.

I think this is the new logo.

OMG Dean @deanmatthewsxxx.bsky.social is AMAZING!!! 😍🔥❤️

Yes, Dean @deanmatthewsxxx.bsky.social is on here and of course I forgot to tag him yesterday...

Dean is just plain crazy handsome. He's like a rock star, and photographing him made me feel like one, too. 🌞🔥✨

When my brother died I made a decision that I wasn’t going to turn away from it. None of us did. He was surrounded by all of his family when he passed. I watched it happen. And now it’s time for me to watch myself and honor the journey in grief and my attempts to move away from it.

I watch myself like a doctor looking after his patient these days. I question the wisdom of displaying any of this. But, I made that decision and that genie is out of the bottle. Now, over two months later I can objectively say that him being gone is AMAZINGLY NOT OKAY.

I got abducted by a furry cub today and then many adventures unfolded. Fun seems to be coming back online for me. 🐻🌈✨

Some sort of external stimuli caused my Papabear Scott to leak. The only appropriate action I could think of was to record it, and share it with you! 🐻🍆💦

Oh wow! this Roy fellow is incredibly cute, and tonight was our third shoot. ❤️😍🔥

There was a lot of love today. Also thanks to my friend Mike for the glasses that have now become part of my soul. ❤️

New Year Musings… The perception is that my third eye has cracked open wide. Grief can destroy you in one moment and curiously-reassemble you in the next might be a force to be respected? Grief is showing me how necessary it is, what a big job it has to do to show how immense the power of love is.

Neil takes my breath away. How could I feel any differently? I think we’re going to be friends or already are. Anyway, he knows that he’s contractually obligated to be nude for me whenever I want. This is for all y’all and making the world more beautiful and involves no selfishness on my part. 😜🤷🏻‍♂️🍆

Because it’s just one epiphany after another…

Was I conflicted about photographing someone in my late husband’s house? Sure was. But I decided to bring some light into that dark place and dark situation. That day the light-source was Neil, who couldn’t have been sexier to me... and he let me cuddle with him a little. ❤️

I am now clear that when most people say, “I have zero f**ks to give” … they have zero experience about what those words truly represent. The only way to truly understand what it means to have zero f**ks means to end up finding yourself with zero f**ks.

Honestly, have you ever had one of those friends and you’re just thinking to yourself like, “could you just fucking let me play with your dick for five minutes? Why can’t you let me play with your dick for five fucking minutes???” Ug. That is all.

In arguably the darkest time of my entire life I’ve been so surprised by the avalanche of love that I have received from literally all over the world. So, I can’t help but think that’s really cool, and it makes me cry tears of joy. ❤️

You have no idea how hard I have fought for joy.

Rock on, y’all! ❤️

It’s a very beary Christmas with Mike and Craig and Cody. 🐻🎄❤️

I photographed Daddyboy 15 years ago on this date in the year 2010. I can’t wait to show you some of the before and after pictures. Photographing the same people over the time is incredibly rewarding and beautiful to me. ❤️

This is me talking about grief, so please swipe to something else unless you want to hear dark stuff. Grief is a completely different animal from “sadness”. I’m doing my best. Send love ‘cuz I need it more than I ever have before. I’m fighting for survival, and I won’t give up, I promise. 🤞🏻❤️

Driving all night and half the day from Kansas to Atlanta, GA.

Neil showed me some kindness tonight. I sure needed it. I think he’s so handsome, and I think we got some good pictures tonight also. ❤️

It’s dinner time with Matthew at the Colonnade! 😊

If these sugar-free popsicles weren’t amazing, I’d tell you so. But they ARE. 😳

And now I am a widower. 💔

I had a lovely dinner with a dear friend. I’m counting my blessings. ❤️

Hi! 👋🏻 me and a friend ate this really big pretzel today. ☺️

In times of great adversity, you find out who your real friends are. And I have the best friends in the world. ❤️🍀🌈

Tell people you love them while you have them. ❤️

This morning as I focused on my super reasonable goal of never making any mistakes again and pleasing everybody all the time, I thought I could lay in the floor and twitch for a while or go to the gym and work out. So when I figure out my path to sainthood, and I’ll fill y’all in on how I did it. 😇🙏🏻

Good friends help. A lot.

Funnest Halloween ever? Maybe! 🎃❤️🌈

Happy Gay Christmas, y’all! 👋🏻🌈🎃

Getting a head start on Halloween with Steve (Cubstein) and William! 🐻❤️🐻

Sláinte! I reached 175,000 followers on Twitter today. Hope y’all are doing well there! 😋👋🏻🍀
