Another stellar production with our friends at @freshthyme . This time, we stepped it up and created an expansive brand manifesto that spanned Social, Influencer, Paid Media, and Experiential. A four-day trip to Grand Rapids to capture content on a blueberry farm, host an in-store experience, and shoot in-store overnight. Such an honor to be partnered with a brand (and community) that is confident in who they are and where they come from.

Another project from this summer! The team went up to NYC to shoot on the streets of Manhattan for @fanajewelry to capture a new jewelry collection. As a long time client of ours, we have seen them grow into a flourishing NYC brand. So proud of the all the hard work that was put into this campaign!

A chill work week with lots of desk work and a special meeting guest 😉. Ended the week with a family trip to Sewanee, TN to celebrate my sister’s graduation and Mother’s Day. Typically we are a city + beach family but there’s no denying the beauty of forest/lake life.

I watched you become a mother once, and I thought I understood it. The first time, I was in complete awe. The second time proved it wasn’t just a moment. It’s who you are. You went deeper. Calmer. Stronger in ways I didn’t even know possible. The way you carry both our girls. The way you adjust with perfect timing. The way you give them exactly what they need, even when it costs you. All while carrying yourself with confidence, beauty and focus in the things that matter the most. I’m still catching up to that. But you give me the strength to be better everyday. Happy Mother’s Day @kvidal612 . I see you more now than I ever have and I know there’s still more to discover. You are our world. We would be empty without your endless patience, love and attention. Thank you for being you

The work isn’t the final file. It’s the process behind it. So incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by talented, passionate people who love to make cool things.

Inspired by wifey @kvidal612 , I want a way to catalog my life more permanently. It often feels like life is flying by and things I thought happens months ago were years ago. So, here’s to adding to your weekly content slop 🤌 Busy production week directing two lifestyle shoots. After years of just producing projects, I’ve started taking directing more seriously and it’s been the most fulfilling quest yet. The feeling of aligning a group of talented people around a shared vision is unbeatable. Ended the week with family time outside. Nothing better than that moment just before the heat hits and the potential energy of the coming summer is contagious

Had a blast directing these quick spots back in February with a small, killer team for @primobrandsdirect . Not enough hand warmers but worth every second. 

Blessed to work with all these amazing people.

Happy birthday to my best friend, my partner in everything, and the most incredible mom our two little ones could ever ask for. The way you love our girls, the patience you give them, the quiet sacrifices you make every day that no one sees, it’s all the kind of love that shapes their whole world. Our children will grow up feeling safe, loved, and understood because of you. Years from now our kids won’t remember every little moment, but they’ll remember the feeling you gave them. The warmth. The laughter. The way home always felt like wherever you were with us. And I’ll remember that I was lucky enough to stand beside the woman who made all of that possible. Happy birthday Kimberly. We love you more than you’ll ever know. ❤️

1 month of Mia Riley and the best dynamic duo of sisters 👯‍♀️💕 Also very late to post this as parenthood of two is occasionally kicking our butts. Ava is already the best big sister - she is on pacifier duty and grabs it any time Mia is crying. Ava will do anything to kiss or hug Mia and it’s the sweetest love we’ve ever seen. I can’t wait until they are older and planning girls trips that I’ll be begging to go on. 😂

Dear Ava, You’ll never remember this day the way I will. Your hand wrapped around mine, your laughter echoing through the park, the way the sunlight caught your hair as you ran ahead. One day you’ll grow too big for my shoulders, too independent for my help, too busy for these slow moments. But you’ll never outgrow being my little girl. My love for you doesn’t divide, it multiplies deeper, wider, stronger. You may not understand that now, but one day you will. And when you do, I hope you’ll look back and know you were, and always will be, my baby girl. Love, Dad
