It has been such a long time coming. I havenāt been able to share anything from this project as we have been so locked in trying to put everything together/keep it as exclusive as possible. Today is the day I finally get to show you guys a taste of what I have been working on for the past 2 years.
BALANCE is a 4 part Docuseries highlighting womenās health, perimenopause, and hormone therapy. This is one of those films that will change your entire outlook on life.
Iām truly and incredibly honored to have such a huge role in this film, directed by @siddhalishree & @sadhvianubhuti , and I absolutely cannot wait to share it with the world. This film deserves ATTENTION.
STORIES MATTER. LETS MAKE CHANGE.

ITāS A WRAP! YAY! Production is now complete. š„¹ What a special day - within two years we had an idea, we traveled the world, we filmed, we questioned, we wondered, we learned, we felt, we investigated, we listened, and so much more. Weāve edited 3 episodes and now working on the last.
Itās always bitter sweet when production ends, but itās just one part of the filmmaking journey. Next is finishing post-production of all our episodes (animations, sounds, final color, and more). Then comes the even harder part ⦠promoting the series.
For now, weāll enjoy this milestone and accomplishment. We thank you all for the continued support around the world.
Thereās still ways to get involved and more coming soon about our coalition, hosting in the theaters, peri party opps and volunteering and being a part of our team. Stay tuned or DM for details. We got this.

NEW MAJOR PROJECT š„
āBALANCEā Docuseries
@balancedocuseries
I am so honored and excited to announce that I will be the Director of Photography for the next soul touching project that @siddhalishree and @sadhvianubhuti have decided to embark on. This project is called BALANCE.
This docuseries focuses on a stage of life that over 1 BILLION women will face in the world by 2025. That is perimenopause and menopause. There are a lot of misconceptions and total neglect from our healthcare, government, and even our own population and societal norms about this major stage of life that every woman will go through. We are exposing the truths about misconstrued data and outright lies that our society was provided about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause and the 7-10 years of perimenopause that come before it. Suicide rates during this age in women are the highest than any other age. Women are suffering, not being understood, and being told that this is ājust part of agingā. We think about puberty as a transition into a new stage of life, but why donāt we think of menopause in the same way?
There are so many resources and ways to help women in this stage of life, and our aim with this docuseries is to help shine light on what so many amazing people are doing to help this movement, while also telling the stories of those who have gone through it.
I could talk for days about this project as it feels like a true spiderweb of information and realization of how important this topic is. I really would recommend and love if you guys all followed the journey at @balancedocuseries
Very grateful to have such an integral part in the production of this amazing series. I will keep you guys updated on my journey.

I got to capture this piece with @diazadgroup for Cullwell & Son. Small but mighty crew, just 2 lights and the Pocket 6k.
Hereās some snippets and stills from the films we put together!
I had the incredible opportunity to capture some scenes of the World Champion, @alyciabaumgardner for the team over at @flightclub .
It was so humbling being in the presence of such amazing talent and getting a small peak into the behind the scenes of what a quick training session looks like. Hereās some quick raw moments from the couple of hours I had with her.
Just me, my camera, and a master in her element š„
Congratulations @alyciabaumgardner on your successful title defense this past Friday.
6+ weeks on the charts⦠and what stays with us most isnāt the numbers ā itās you. š¤
Over 1 million minutes streamed on Amazon, messages from women across the world, stories shared quietly in DMs, and voices finally saying: āI thought it was just me.ā
This is why we made BALANCE.
Because perimenopause affects 100% of women ā yet so many are navigating it alone, confused, dismissed, or unheard. ļæ¼
Every view, every conversation, every share⦠itās helping shift that.
Weāre so grateful to be on this journey together ā and next stop, London š¬š§
Joining @menopause_doctor and @newsoneducation to continue the conversation, education, and impact.
If this series has helped you feel seen, understood, or empowered ā youāre part of this movement.
This isnāt just a film.
Itās a conversation thatās finally happening.
Comment BALANCE and weāll DM you our watch page š

Last year I had the honor of being able to capture a short series on mental health in the WNBA for @betterhelp . These 2 episodes focused specifically on our @dallaswings and what their day to day life feels like behind the scenes.
I partnered with @recreationdallas to help bring this story to life. Capturing these moments between practice, games, and moving schedules was a fun challenge to navigate as we pieced the story together. We had a ton of fun making it happen!
These are just the intro snippets of each episode!

ITS FINALLY HERE! Around 3 months ago @slidewreckdan and I decided that we wanted to see what it would be like to give back to the community, and share what we have learned over the past few years as industry professionals.
The guys over at @we.showandtell said, āhey we have a really dope idea for an event, you guys want to use this opportunity to teach?ā It felt right, we couldnāt say no. So we decided to do a full scale lighting workshop this past November!
The event was a huge success. May I remind you, we SOLD OUT IN 24 HOURS! The amount of love, community, and real actionable information that was shared at this event was priceless.
Itās been a long time coming, but this is what we were able to capture at the workshop. We wanted the audience to leave with a full ācreative pieceā that can live on its own. We wanted to show not only the process of lighting, but what it looks like to direct a small crew to create something worth watching.
How do you think it came out? We decided to do a creative brand film for the clothing brand @4evf featuring @zyon.iman as our lead talent. We shot this in around 3 hours while also teaching a whole class at the same time. Feeling so grateful that we had this opportunity.
THANK YOU DALLAS! And thank you to all the wonderful people who helped make this happen.

This year I found out who I was, and who I wanted to be.
Iām grateful for the path of life God has granted me, and even more thankful that itās given me the ability to do the things that I truly enjoy and love.
I have been blessed with some incredible human beings in my life that have pushed me forward in ways I could never imagine. This past year was a true revealing of why Iām right where I need to be. Feeling powerful going into my 27th yearš„
Someone pinch me.. @balancedocuseries #6 in top US charts on @appletv
This is proof that women are hungry for this information. Because of YOU, we are able to spread it to the world!! We made this film with heart, to help break the taboo around womenās health. Seeing our film next to others of such magnitude further reinforces the fact that this story is something that not only wants to be heard, but NEEDS to be heard.
Keep sharing! Balance is not finished!!!
