FAMILY DINNER LIVE AT ORTLIEBS, PHILADELPHIA Shot for @cravemusicmag

SHOW REVIEW: JADE BRINGS ‘THAT’S SHOWBIZ BABY!’ TO PHILADELPHIA “Matching her motions to the beat, JADE teased her stage debut with one arm out of the curtain, followed by one leg, both covered in black sequins. Her dancers then pull the curtains to the side, revealing Jade dressed in a full body suit covered in black sequins topped with white nipple tassels and a black tutu. The crowd sang along to every last word, foreshadowing an incredible energy filled night ahead.“ - Sammy Quinlan for Crave Music Magazine words by @samqluvsu slide 1 graphic by @haleypetronephoto images via AJ Kinney #jade #concerts #musicphotography #musicmagazine

10 BLACK FEMALE ARTISTS WE’RE WATCHING IN 2026 🌟 “Behind every great project, there is a woman. More specifically, a Black woman. Black women have been at the forefront of shaping the music industry since its origins. We can thank artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe for influencing rock and roll from the start, paving the way for artists such as Elvis Presley, Keith Richards and many other men we have seen take the spotlight. Iconic artists like Aretha Franklin and Mamie Smith are the resilient and driven forces that have fought for their artistic vision to be shown no matter their gender or color of their skin.” - Sammy Q for Crave Music Magazine words by @samqluvsu graphics by @esransom.design ★ read the full review on our site ★ #blackhistorymonth #musiccurator #femaleartists

MEET ME @ THE ALTAR LIVE AT WONDER BAR IN ASBURY PARK Shot for @cravemusicmag

I am so grateful for all that 2025 has brought me. I have never felt more motivated to create in my life. Thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support, your words have given me so much. Here’s to a million more photos in 2026 🖤✨ (book me 😉) Big thanks to @cravemusicmag @altwavemag @muahmusicmedia for giving me the opportunity to shoot and write about these incredible shows 🖤 Enjoy some unseen shots from the year!!!

ITS HERE!!!! The Altwave X Waterparks mag is finally out and already in so many peoples hands. My heart could not be more full, I am so happy to share this with you all. Thank you so much to @altwavemag for believing and trusting in my abilities to deliver. I couldn’t have done any of this without your support and your dedication 🖤 The biggest thank you to @waterparks @cancelcommunications and their team for letting all of this happen. music has been a such a big part of my creative journey and for that I am beyond grateful. Waterparks most recent single, ANY MINUTE NOW, hits extremely close to home. I have been obsessed with cameras and capturing anything and everything with them since I was a little girl. I went to college for media studies and video production and didn’t know what direction to head in once I graduated. That period of time in my life was dark but I found light motivation through music and live performance and have not stopped since. I am forever thankful and cannot wait to continue to create and share my art with the world, as it is my purpose in this life. 🖤🖤 #waterparks #musicmagazine #concertphotography
