It’s a Capricorn full moon and I’m thinking about how much of an immense privilege aging is.
We place so much emphasis culturally on youth but the wisdom that comes with growing older can only be won by putting in the TIME. We can only be so lucky to experience that.
Festival photographers will work 3 weekends in a row, walk 36 miles a day, carry 20 lbs of gear, sleep 3 hours a night, get their phone stolen, risk severe dehydration and be like “I don’t know how y’all do the 9-5 life”
Some personal news:
Starting a new full time position next week with
@LiveNation
as a Content Producer!!! Beyond excited and so ready for this new chapter of my career to begin🥂💫
In other news, my nervous system has calmed way down since unfollowing all the spiritual money coaches on my IG feed. Still detangling from that feedback loop of manipulative, unethical marketing tactics disguised as spirituality.
Intuition is subtle and felt from the gut. It’s a much deeper inner knowing and almost always comes as a gentle whisper.
Anxiety is LOUD and comes from the mind. It’s always fear-based future tripping.
The difference between the two is felt after like, 6-8 deep breaths
I really fuck with
@ramit
, I’ve learned a great deal about personal finance through his Netflix show, podcast and book. My bf and I now do regular monthly Money Dates where we track our income/expenses and talk about our goals for the future. It has done wonders for our finances
You’ve probably heard me recommend to the guests on my podcast that they have regular “money dates”. I do the same thing with my wife! But how do you have a money date?
Tomorrow I’m sharing all the details like:
- what to talk about
- when to have them
- how to end them
“That feeling of not good enough...where it hurts so bad you can’t sleep, is raw mystic energy, an alchemist’s laboratory, an energy workers playground. Big wands business. This King loves a good transmutation process that renders something once precious, obsolete” 😭🙏🏼
Unpopular opinion but you do not have to repress, shun or fight your inner demons. You can give them your loving awareness, let them co-exist within you without them running the show!
Why do photographers act like sending an invoice is such a massive chore??!?!
Do y’all not want to get paid????
One thing about me… I’m sending this invoice out WITH the final delivery bc I do NOT play about my money 😤
Walking barefoot on the earth is scientifically proven to calm the nervous system & promote homeostasis on so many levels.
The earths surface has negative ions that absorb/neutralize free radicals, allowing your body to heal faster.
When I went to Coachella in 2019 as a fan, I told myself I wouldn’t come back unless it was to shoot for the in-house team.
Well, I’m back here now and I couldn’t be happier this dream is finally a reality. This has been on the vision board for SO LONG 🙏🏼✨
Not going to quote tweet that awful tweet about women peaking in their 20s because it’s fucking absurd and deeply patriarchal.
To me, women become more beautiful as they age. Beauty is not just “looking young,” it’s an energy, a confidence, an essence.
ISO: Concert/Event photographers in Dallas! Looking for someone who is experienced and well-versed with both.
Paid + could lead to ongoing work.
DM with portfolios + contact info.

I not only have relished my 30’s but I am really looking forward to my 40’s. It truly does just keep getting better and you just stop living for other people and start living for yourself.
My great grandmother lived until 95 and my grandmother is turning 94 this year. That much time witnessing the world, watching your children and grandchildren and great grandchildren grow up. It’s a rare and beautiful gift.
Y'ALL I'M SHAKING. A man just FOLLOWED me from the street into my building. He got into the elevator with me, and when I asked him what floor and he nervously said "uhh, the top." His whole vibe was OFF. When I got off on my floor, he did too. MY SPIDEY SENSES WERE TINGLING

Mercury retrograde in Taurus = a wonderful time to review & edit your closet.
Here’s your reminder to make that goodwill bag you’ve been thinking about!!
Vice going under is truly the end of an ERA. It was the very first byline I ever got as music photographer in 2015. I’ll never forget thinking how this was the start of something major. My entire career can be pinpointed all the way back to that moment.
I don’t think I can properly explain what downtown la is like right now except sheer fucking madness. It’s a war zone. Multiple explosions. The people are not letting up and the cops are fully militarized.
I went outside to document and could not believe what I saw.

My hot take on email culture is that I actually don’t want to or like “emailing like a man.” I will keep my exclamation points and happy faces, thank you!!! ☺️
Venus has officially entered her home sign of Taurus 🌹
It’s time to live sensually and indulge in earthly pleasures 🍒 Buy yourself some roses and drape yourself in gold jewels because the goddess wants you to remember that you’re abundant AF 👑
Sometimes you gotta just let yourself completely breakdown in order to breakthrough.
Anything but fully surrendering to the present moment and honoring your feels as they come is a waste of time and a disservice to your Self and everyone else around you.
Noted.
Saturn = delays, limitations, boundaries, structures
Libra = JUSTICE
North Node = our collective destiny
Conjunctions = a powerful convergence/influence
Here we see delayed justice for enslaved black people, being that their freedom came 2.5 years after the signing of the EP.
Had to delete my tweet looking for Chicago-area photographers & submissions are closed now. DM's/emails were crazy flooded bc there is SO much talent here, but just couldn't get to everyone. Pls understand if I don't respond!
Wishing you all a day that is full of abundance, love and alignment. May your bag be secured, your heart feel full and your desires one step closer to fulfillment ✨❤️✨
Each day of the week has a distinct energetic feel to it because they are each governed by a different planetary body. I've been aligning my plans for the day accordingly.
Mon = Moon
Tues = Mars
Wed = Mercury
Thur = Jupiter
Fri = Venus
Sat = Saturn
Sun = Sun
Recently put a sigil I made on my phone lock screen to manifest something quickly and it happened. I look at my screen 100x a day, the power of subconscious programming is real.
As a photographer, I really appreciate working with Creative Directors, Producers, Organizers, Managers, etc who are also photographers because I always feel so taken care of. And I strive to do the same when I have my Creative Producer hat on too.
