I've really thought long and hard about what I want to include on my blog, and I've recently been coming across some incredible friends that I haven't seen in a while. I want to bring to light the special people I get to spend my time with on my blog and share their inspiring talents!

This is Chelsi, obviously the first impression from looking at these images is that she's STUNNING!

I met Chelsi just a bit over a year ago and it was a huge blessing to have been introduced to her, we we're (at the time) signed to MUCH as creators and it was always a pleasure to run into her at events and MUCH itself. Once I left MUCH to pursue my own thing and also getting signed to a boutique agency, life got busy for the both of us! When you're constantly on the run or figuring your life out it's hard to get together. But when you do, it's the best few hours of your day!

Online Chelsi is known as CHELSI MADONNA, she covers everything from Beauty to Music to LGBTQ talk! Not only is she a girl boss but she's a huge inspiration to the LGBTQ community as her story shakes you a little on the inside. And you feel what she feels, that's a connection that not many youtubers have had on me and it takes a really special human being to get to me like that through a screen. The friendship has always been friendly, real and always honest. This may sound super silly, but the industry is full of people that are quiet simular in my eyes. The conversations are usually what they do and who they work with and being fame hungry (not even kidding, it's unreal sometimes). Chelsi and I both love being on YouTube for the sake of it being fun to create content whether that be photos, videos etc and being able to send significant messages to our viewers that are positive!

And don't get me wrong, there are a lot of talented creators out there that make awesome visual content! I'm just focusing on one at a time.

Basically being able to connect with another content creator like normal human beings and what I mean- just grabbing a coffee/tea and talking about life instead of work is super rare.

I get it, the industry is "competitive" but I've noticed I never like seeing it that way. I see YouTube and other social handles as a way for me to express my art, creativity and just who I am. It takes a while to get use to but this year was the striking point when I realized I can be myself fully without all the bullshit of trying to impress everyone.

You can check out all the details about Chelsi on her YouTube channel and/or Instagram: @chelsimadonna because she's seriously worth getting to know and connecting with!

Anyways, I got to spend some time with her after months of us being apart because the last thing we did together was surprise her girlfriend with a laser tag birthday date (this was when I was with my ex-boyfriend) and we all had the best time, except we really should of worn some athletic gear because it was a sweaty date!

Being able to just hangout for a few hours was a great feeling. I like to cherish simple moments with people, and we were fortunate enough to grab a tea/coffee and walk around and take photos (literally my favourite thing to do, ever)! As a photographer, I love capturing the best of people. Showcasing candids of who they are so you as an audience can really feel her energy.

If you don't feel the happiness out of these photographs there's something wrong with you haha! Chelsi is such a happy, positive and bubbly human being. We all know how difficult it is to come across people like that.

I think it's super important to appreciate the little things in life, and people that still stick around and put in effort when they can because life isn't easy. But people like Chelsi make it just that little bit better when you need it and help you keep going. She's always been a huge supporter of my work and she tells me that she see's me doing amazing things as I do with her as well. Friends that truly believe in you and don't see you as a threat or competitor is a WONDERFUL feeling haha.

So go ahead, spread the love and spend time with people that matter to you, and that make a difference in your day or your life. It's super worth it when you're surrounded by the best people.
