This man. His voice. I hadn’t looked at these shots in a while. Dang. I was fortunate enough to see @thedavidcrosby three times in my life. Once with @stephenstillsofficial + @officialgrahamnash , at @newportfolkfest with @jasonisbell (whoa), and then this unforgettable evening with my camera at the @chsmusichall . I remember wiping the tears from my eyes multiple times that night. (Not surprising). It was May of 2017 and Croz was pensive. Visibly and openly concerned about the future of American democracy. The resonance and clarity of his voice bent my mind. Gahhhh y’all his voice. Live. And in that small venue. His son on keys. (That story is remarkable if you’re not familiar…wow.) He was funny and grateful. What a legend. I kinda thought (with his track record) he was going to live forever. #radiatelove #musicphotography . . . . #bonafide #davidcrosby #legend #croz #chsmusichall #csn #livemusic @jeffpevarmusic @thedavidcrosby @maileisz @jamesjraymond

Sending all the Birthday love to this beautiful goonball today! I’m constantly reminded of how special our connection is. In fact, I was asked earlier this week if I was aware of just how rare it can be. Sometimes I guess I forget that this isn’t the norm, because I don’t know life any other way. You’re a treasure and I’m forever grateful. Happy Birthday Momma! @radovichbeverley #mom #radiatelove

From almost being struck by lighting on a fishing boat in Charleston, to rowdy fun late nights in NYC, to the only limo ride I’ve taken in 20 years, to our shared bicoastal life feeding the dream alongside one another... I always look forward to our real conversations, your giggle, freezing cold Syrah (what’s Gonon?), and deeply appreciate you trusting me to creep on you during this important chapter in your life. Thanks for always treating me like family. This makes me realize I need more photos of us together. Love you mean it. Cheers to 50 chief! @patrickwine . . . . #radiatelove #bonafide #monteriocellars #feedthedream

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” Not really. But, I’m grateful to be surrounded by so many soulful humans who do what moves them. And smile this often.

Hard to believe that this is the 12th harvest that I’ve documented. I still find myself with the pre-game “I think I gotta pee (but I don’t)” like jitters that I had playing competitive sports back in the day. I went down a rabbit hole and found some gems…so here’s nostalgic harvest post number one. I’m so fortunate that @ricardodiogofreitas took a chance on this wine rep/hobbyist photographer/dreamer 11 years ago. If you make it to photo #10 you’ll get to see my stylish jeans while standing close to the edge of a cliff in Madeira during harvest 2011. The gratitude is real. I appreciate all the love, support, and momentum through the years. #harvest2022 #lfg 1.) How my brain feels halfway through harvest. @dallavallevineyards , 2021 2.)

She continues to tell me that she loves me more, but I’m not sure if this is possible. I’m also not sure how I got so damn lucky. #radiatelove #loveyoumore @radovichbeverley

Favia’s inaugural olive harvest and a first for me too. Now I’m completely obsessed. The slower cadence. The ethereal beauty of these trees. The attention to detail. These humans. Their hands. And of course the integrity of all things Favia. #harvest #favia @faviawines . . . #olive #oliveharvest #napa #californialove #radiatelove #mothernature #oliveoil #faviaericksonwinegrowers #california #organic #farm #organicfarming #agriculture

In case anyone was wondering what it looks like when you surround yourself with humans who raise your vibration, turn up Whitney Houston as loud as she’ll go, wear onesies (and maybe scuba socks) to tread fruit, annnnnnd fill your heart n soul up all while making some unforgettable wines…. #viola @jolielaidewines . . . . #thefruitiscoldaf #radiatelove #WFH #whitneyhouston #harvest2021 #jolielaide #wine #winephotography #bonafide #harvest #dowhatmovesyou #california #winemaking
