The idea that ballerinas are these dainty creatures is such an enigma when you think about how strong their bodies are. They’ve been some of my favorite subjects to shoot because of their tenacity.

I drove to Columbus to shoot this lovely lady last fall. At the time, I was honestly excited about visiting IKEA because... duh. Every time I take time off from shooting and I get back into it, I feel like a dumdum for ever taking time off. Turns out I was more excited about these than Swedish furniture. @ Columbus, Ohio

A prime example of why creatives supporting creatives is essential. When you surround yourself with people that have that creative spark, you can’t help but get inspired.

Thank you so much for spending an epic day with me.

Vintage Ralph Lauren vibes from this one. It’s always amazing to me when models show up to a shoot with a bag full of clothes like Mary freaking Poppins and there’s always something incredible that comes together.

This last month or so I’ve experienced what can only be described as a creative “dry spell.”
Creative people all have their ebbs and flows. Although it’s not an uncommon feeling, it doesn’t stop it from being difficult each time I have a bit of a downturn.

Different people handle it....well, differently. It’s like 5 stages of grief but instead 5 stages of creative critique. You compare. You aspire. You fail. You come to terms. You try again.

I can say one thing for sure is I’m grateful for the people that are constantly pushing me to create. The people that are willing to support me along the way to being better. I appreciate all of you more than you know 🤍
