Behind the scenes getting our cyc wall right 🎥🎨
Big shoutout to @camkirkstudios for opening the door with the Studio Time Giveaway — if you haven’t applied yet, go tap in ASAP before it closes on 4/15‼️
We’re genuinely excited over here at AXM Studios @axmchi to be a part of something that gives back to the creative community. Opportunities like this matter not just for the work, but for the connections, the energy, and the chance to build something bigger than ourselves.
We don’t know exactly where this will take us, but that’s the best part. We’re showing up, putting in the work, and looking forward to meeting and building with local creatives and artists along the way. Thank you to all that ever said NO!! lol
Let’s create. Let’s grow. Let’s build. (This is only 1 coat of paint relax, we do 2)

Today was one of those sessions that reminds me why AXM Studios @axmchi exists. I helped out during a studio rental and worked with photographer @south_lens_by_roberto , I shared some lighting techniques and studio workflow tips while learning his process too. Our model talent @amanda.izab (her 1st studio session) was amazing, she and her mother styled this session. We did this with Google Translate as they are from Brazil. Power of Art
This is what the studio is for: real collaboration, real growth, and creatives leveling up together. I’m grateful for a space where these moments can happen naturally.
If you’re a creative or model with an idea you want to bring to life, tap in ASAP. Time is a luxury and it moves fast — let’s make it happen. We have space and opportunity right here. Go follow @south_lens_by_roberto to track his creative journey!
Tag the talented. Tag the creatives. Tag the models.📸

New chapters begin quietly, then change everything.
Watching Ryan ask @shayd224 to spend her life with him inside my studio was a reminder of why I do this work. I’m truly grateful to have been trusted with a moment that will live far beyond today. Thank you both for allowing me to be part of the beginning of your next chapter.
In a world that can be heavy and demanding, there’s real power in finding your person—the one you’re spiritually connected to, the one who steadies you, challenges you, and makes life feel lighter simply by being present. Life is tough, but it’s always better when you’re walking through it with someone who makes it better.
Congratulations to Ryan and @shayd224 McClain 🤍
Wishing you a lifetime of growth, patience, laughter, and love. @axmchi

Hitting 25 is more than just a number—it’s a milestone. It marks a quarter-century of growth, learning, evolving, and showing the world exactly who you are. As your uncle, I couldn’t be prouder of the woman you’ve become. You’ve stepped into your light with grace, strength, and purpose.
This birthday isn’t just about celebrating you—it’s about honoring the journey you’ve taken and looking ahead at the powerful path still unfolding. You’re stepping into a chapter of clarity, confidence, and courage. The foundation you’ve laid these past 25 years is going to carry you to places even you haven’t dreamed of yet.
So as you celebrate, know that your family is behind you, cheering you on every step of the way. Keep pushing, keep dreaming, and keep being unapologetically you. The world needs that light you carry.
Love always,
Your proud uncle
