May Day
Happy May! I hope you are staying healthy and sane.I made these self portraits in early March, in anticipation of the events to come. Unfortunately, within days we had hundreds of reported cases. My county has been devastated by this virus, and it's only the beginning for us.Fortunately, I have always been prepared and resourceful, so living in quarantine is not something that troubles me. Aside from being worried for the health of my mother ...

Just for Fun
This is an image taken by a former boyfriend. I was maybe 20 here, living in New Paltz, NY, where I attended university. He and I have known each other since the age of 14, and enjoyed many new experiences together in our teenage years. We ventured out on our first road trips together, music festivals, dabbled in all kinds of fun things related to art, music and nature. Our relationship did not survive the distance and life transitions, but we bo...

Seven Summers Ago w. Photosensualis
Here is a polaroid from my very first shoot with artists who have become my dearest friends.What a glorious morning this was. It was pouring when I arrived to the wrong building (I accidentally went to their gallery, not their studio). So when I finally made it to the house, I was completely soaked. It was so gloomy in the morning, we actually used lamp light for some of our images (very out of character for Photosensualis). As the afternoon drew...

Thank you!
I was amazed to see that not only did I not lose any patrons, I gained one new patron this morning. Welcome to the newcomer, and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of my wonderful patrons. Your continued and steadfast support is an inspiration. I hope what you find here is a beautiful break from all the bleakness in the world right now.For example, here are some images from a quiet morning in Woodstock, with Tupelo, the kitty cat. Tak...

Please remember these images are copyrighted and very sensitive. Do not copy, print or repost in any way.Enjoy. XO

Reading is Good.
"If you're like us, you're spending quite a lot of your time alone in your home or office. Reading is a fine activity to engage in. Monique, in fact, is an inveterate reader. When you're NOT reading, we hope you enjoy the Photosensualis images coming your way in our activity feed. Thank you all so much for your continued support and enthusiasm for our work. We wish you all good health in these troubling times."^ I opened my em...

Patron Packages
Patron packages went out today! If you’ve been waiting for one, it should be arriving soon! Thank you all for you patience.I also want to mention that the packaging itself has become increasingly less “pretty.”In the last four years, I have grown more and more aware of my waste production. As such, whenever and wherever I can reduce and reuse packaging, I do.I promise the goodies inside are as pretty as ever!Will be posting some images for ...
