My camera has always helped me experience the moment. I’m easily overstimulated, a million thoughts at once, words tripping over each other, social anxiety. When I’m holding a camera the volume goes down & I can take in and appreciate what’s infront of me. It holds my hands (literally) & guides me. Without it, especially at social events, I don’t know where to look, where to sit, who to talk too, I have trouble focusing, everything comes in at the same intensity & I get overloaded & exhausted fast. With everyone holding cameras these days (IG, tiktok, influencers, etc.), cameras have become more associated w/ performance & there’s this assumption that documenting something means you’re removed from it (“put down your camera, you’re not living in the moment.”) when for me it’s been the opposite. When I was little & didn’t have a camera with me, I’d pretend my eyes were cameras & focus on that, blinking was a shutter. Was almost as bummed about my eyes not being cameras as I was that the stork never dropped off a twin for me like Mary-Kate & Ashley. Growing up I got teased for always having my camera, but weirdly it never bothered me as much as it does now. Somewhere along the way personal work started carrying this weird weight to it. IG grids, monetization, “shooting for social media,” all of it made something that brought me peace start feeling heavier. I took these 2 years ago (about a year after opening @sternastudios & a month before @theresthreeofthem fell into our laps.) Haven’t touched them or much personal work in years, but trying to find my way back to making time for it while also navigating how I’ve let the world affect my relationship w/ my camera in general <3 Thanks everyone for your patience for the past 2 years 😅🙏🙈 Part 1. Full album available soon. 📍 @lorettalynnranchofficial @tnmotorcyclerevival

Your contract is only as strong as your ability to enforce it…we couldn’t live without slide 6 🛟 Grab our commercial contract & model release in the link in our bios before the sale ends 👀 @ninathelawyer @cheyfranke

AI started as a way to explore ideas where I got to play with gear & locations I don’t normally have access to. Lately, clients have been asking about using it to fill specific gaps: - Variety in custom stock imagery you can’t get from a single shoot - Studio needs for single-SKU product photo updates I created a beta offer for 2 targeted solutions as an option to fill those gaps so budget can be spent more strategically on things like launch campaigns & larger marketing efforts 🤍 Details & inquiry form in my bio (Ps you can also find stock I’ve shot at @editorialstockimages .)

Every section in our contract was added bc something was either draining us that didn’t have to be or we didn’t have it in writing & learned our lesson from it. We talk to so many creatives experiencing the same kind of burnout or confusion w/ their client work. SO we teamed up w/ @ninathelawyer w/ the goal of sharing our contracts w/ other artists to save you from the headaches we’ve had. Some of these sections are controversial depending on the kind of work you do & how you run your business. Which one do you wish you had? Which one would you never put in yours? 👀 Celebrating @ninathelawyer ’s bday by kicking off her spring sale! Link in our bios to check out the goods and grab our contract template 🎁
