I keep trying to make a post about 2025 and moving into 2026, but social media makes me feel so anxious. Add onto that 2 crazy but wonderful kids, one sick dog and whole bunch of other noise, and I just haven’t been able to do it. So here’s a new pic instead of a recap and a bunch of thank yous that simply aren’t enough.
2025 was a tough year professionally, but I’m thankful for everyone who has trusted me as a camera assistant, gimbal tech, or editor throughout the year. I hope to collaborate with more folk in the new year.
2025 was also the year I dove deeper into concert photography, and pushing myself to do more photography in general. I am shocked and amazed at the bands I’ve been so fortunate to take pictures of this year. Huge thank you’s to
@helpifuckingneedit @amusementpdx @theshitfits @1876band @galacticnorcinerator @smokingpopesmusic @stinkbug.pdx @jade_dust @nolightsband @offbookpod @clarity.pdx @cranefistridersclub @triplelutzband and so many more. Also really thankful for
@jeredscott for his mentorship and belief in me, and for
@melodicmag for taking a chance on me. There are more people to thank than I have space for. I truly appreciate anyone who has worked with me, encouraged me or let me photograph them. It means so much to my anxiety-riddled self.
2025 was a tough but also creatively fulfilling year. I hope to push myself further in 2026. I’d love to collaborate with you, if you’re still reading this. Photo, video, music, whatever. Please get in touch and let’s create together.
