BARBADOS: A LOVE LETTER 💌
(sound on)
With hours left to the year I wish to share this imprint that 2025 has left on me:
Pour into your family, friends and community. Simply to say that I love you, and that I am grateful for you. It's necessary medicine.
A recap might not have done my year justice, but this video reflects so many aspects of what i've learned and what I've leaned into this year. And I feel warm being able to share it with you.
My grandma turned 95 this year.
Cakes & Candles 🎂
I hope that when my family see's this, they see my love for a home that is timeless to me. As more things change some things do indeed stay the same. Barbados is still one of those places for me.
I welcome the vessels of experience that I am given the opportunity to pour into and I welcome being a vessel for those aligned to pour into and from.
I love you

👀 Take a look back at how our Headshot Day turned out! From writers to actors to even graphic designers, we had artists from across the medium come get their portrait taken!
Headshot Day started out as an idea to create more accessibility for artists to have high quality imagery at a fraction of the cost (and we do mean fraction). Portraits and headshots will always be in demand if you’re an artist, and you’ll have to take new ones the more you age or change the way you look. So why not make one of those portrait sessions easy on your pocket so you can get back to creating!
Shout out to our photographer and GG member Danté (@abstrac.t ) for lending their talents to fellow artists!
We think these all turned out wonderfully! What do you think, would you come through to our next headshot day?
Someone once said to me, “Danté, do you also shoot weddings?!” And I said “yes, yes I do! It started off with friends of friends and family and just kept growing. And like 100% of the weddings I photographed, the brides and grooms said I do!”
So this is me, hard launching another channel of my photography and artistry 💒💒
Everything shot on Fuji XT5
With our $26 headshots sign ups going live in just a few days, take notes from Danté’s (@abstrac.t ) annotations on types of headshots and how to prepare with intention! 💪🏽 [All images are Danté’s work]
“On one hand, it is about being intentional with what tone you want the story of your image to be. On the other hand it’s also crucial that you still show up as yourself and not what you think is being expected of you”

I turned 27 in 1975 last night!
My name is Danté aka Tony F***ing Tuscadero
There was a murder on the dance floor!
Nobody caught the killer before they were revealed!
I was overwhelmed with love and the art of play!
And the 🍗! Ifykyk
I’ll be blissed out for quite awhile from the natural high of being loved and celebrated by my loved ones and community. So thank you, many baloons

Hours before Christianna and Nathan went downtown to get their domestic partnership, unbeknownst to much of their inner circle, they invited me into the tenderness of the moments before to document the journey there.
We stopped at some of their frequented spots to commemorate and immortalize their time in NYC. There’s novelty in being a photographer in moments like these, knowing you’re documenting people just before their life is about to shift in a beautiful way.
Congratulations to you both 💍
It was an honor and pleasure.
