I started this year in a job that didn’t respect me or my photography, and instead of slowing me down, it really lit a fire under my ass. I poured everything I had into shows, into late nights editing until 3 am, into really learning what my vision is with my photography, but most importantly learning myself.
I’m endlessly grateful for every opportunity this year

Getting to document so many of my favorite bands, in rooms that mean so much to me, always remind me of how much I love this shit. Going viral with a video from one of my favorite venues was fucking insane. I also genuinely never thought I would ever get to Chain Reaction and I’m so glad I got to do a show there before it closed.
Looking ahead to 2026, I want to push myself further. I want to hit the road, tour, and expand further into video — especially music videos. I also want to keep working with film and building portrait work that goes beyond headshots — more creative, conceptual, and personal.
I plan on making a separate Instagram account exclusively for my film, mainly because I really miss sharing my landscape and street photography. The concerts make me rusty with that aspect photography, and I extremely miss it, so I’ll only post about it once to avoid being the person with a million accounts. Also, a few months ago I started making YouTube videos and that’s been really fun. I plan on diving further into that in 2026 so if you see me recording stuff, please don’t make me self aware about the cringe. I won’t share it because then it becomes a whole “thing,” I don’t want to stop and really this one’s for me if that makes sense. 💀
Thank you to everyone who trusted me, supported me, and stood in front of my camera this year.
