34… THIRTY-FOUR … Walter Payton year… MVP Year… LFG
… 12,410 days on this planet❤️
.
Here we are again a year since my last post and I have to say not posting has been a career saver. Did a couple of firsts this year. Rode In a helicopter, pet/fed a giraffe, did a couple first time festivals, worked with new artists, went to new states and also got to see friends and family that I haven’t seen in a long time.
.
Im soooo thankful for everyone in my life, my friends, my family, my career. I can’t express how grateful I am each and every day to be able to do this with some of the best humans in the world.
.
So here’s 20 pictures of me smiling and loving life with some of my best friends and family across the entire year!
.
Here’s to 34 it’s gonna be another remarkable yarn and I can’t wait to see what kind of growth and success we can accomplish along the way ❤️

Another amazing year has passed and 32 was a year I’ll truly never forget. Ive now been on this planet for 12,045 days and have no plan on slowing down anytime soon! Sooooo many great things came into fruition in my life and business and I couldn’t be happier in the direction that everything is going. Im so thankful for all the new opportunities I was given and again I can’t thank you enough for taking a chance on me. Thank you to everyone in my life that allows me to be me and that I get to make memories with. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you in my life.

This year was eye opening, and it showed me that I can do anything I put my mind to. It was easily the the busiest I’ve ever been with my photography and videography and I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH for giving me a chance to showcase your art with my art and work with some great individuals. It always humbles me and blows my mind that I get to travel the country and shoot photos of some of my best friends for a living, it’s truly a blessing to be able to do this so THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ❤️

Hello Hello everyone !
It’s been quite sometime since I’ve posted on here, not gonna lie it was a great break from wondering what to post and when to post and all the little things that add up to making a post as a professional. I loved being able to do just what I love to do and and that’s SHOOT.
But.
I wanted to bless your timeline and my own with these beautiful images from last nights Aurora Borealis in Colorado at Horsetooth Reservoir ❤️ what a remarkable thing to touch our Colorado skies✨
It wasn’t able to be seen with the naked eye but a few long exposure tricks and we were able to get a glimpse of the lights and see what was painting the skies above @jesswinner_ and myself. It was truly a blessing to see something I’ve wanted and waited to see for soooo long in the backyard of my home state Colorado ❤️

32. Thirty-Two. 3-2. Treinta y Dos 💜 THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes yesterday! I can’t believe I’ve been on this planet for 11,680 days. People say your drive slows down as you get older but idk who they’re referring to cause I still feel like a child at heart 😋

Wow what a year 31 was ! I learned a lot about myself and my business and had a lot of life changes happen throughout the year but With every new year comes new challenges and new difficulties but it’s those negatives that make all the positives that much better ! it’s how you overcome and conquer those obstacles to lead you to a better tomorrow and I feel like I did a pretty decent job at shaping how I want my future to be. Yes there’s more work to be done on myself, it’s never a bad thing to continue to better yourself and make sure you’re not falling into the same patterns as you did in the past but knowing that ahead of time at least gives you a step in the right direction to not give up and keep pushing forward ❤️
.
Hard work plays off and everything’s coming into full fruition. Big things to come in 2024. Working for alive coverage and live nation co has been one of the best things to ever happen to me and my career and I can’t be more thankful on all the new opportunities that come with being apart of that family. It’s made me a better professional in every aspect of my career and Im looking forward to crushing 2024 with them and continuing to do my own work as JV❤️
.
Like always and forever I’m so so so thankful im able to do something I love everyday and call it work. Im so thankful for the opportunities that I’ve gotten throughout my career and all the new ones to come and im soooo grateful for all the support you guys have given me over the years it means the absolute world to me ❤️

Nothing like Colorado Cheese 🏔🧀 ! 5 nights with @sci_official last month. 2 nights at @dillonamphitheater_ and 3 @redrocksco ! Trying to catch up and post more but I just get lost in all the content 🤯
.
Anyway here’s 10 photos over 5 nights 7/12-7/16 ❤️
@dailybreadmusic // @electric_forest // 3 Sets- Friday Grand Artique and DaBussy Sunrise and Sunday Sherwood Court. Every set was packed to the gills and Sunday’s set had the entire festival it seemed like, which might’ve been the largest family photo I’ve ever taken ❤️
.
It was an absolute thrill to get back into the Sherwood Forest after a few years of not going and What an unforgettable experience with some of the most genuine and professional group of people in the industry @dailybreadmusic@rayajacqjack@santana.gram it was a blast wandering around the forest with y’all all weekend !

Thank you to everyone for trusting me and bringing me out to do my thang while y’all do yours! It’s always a pleasure getting behind the camera and grabbing these stills for the team to look back on ! Can’t wait to do it again 🔜❤️
🇵🇷Puerto Rico🇵🇷
Checked another off my travel list and wow!! Puerto Rico is truly a hidden gem 💎🏝 We spent 8 days in this beautiful territory and explored all around the island. Some of the spots I found were still closed from the hurricane and honestly 8 days wasn’t enough because there’s so much more beauty to be seen and explored!
.
Here are a few of my favorite stops that I highly recommend seeing and adding to your travel agenda!
.
.
- Watch a sunset at Mar Chiquita Beach
- Stop at Mete Miedo
- Take a dip at Cascada Gozalandia
- Stop at Dona Juana
- Stop at Salto Collazo
@snot // @fillmoreden // shot for @livenationco

Always a pleasure capturing these events for @livenationco and getting the opportunity to be more creative with different genres of music photography.
