Into the underworld, with my best friend beside me. 🤿🔦🖤🫧

My first cavern dive and an experience I’ll never forget.

Ancient limestone. Crystal-clear water. Absolute darkness. Nothing but our lights, our bubbles, and our guide leading us into another world. Some adventures change the way you see the world, this was one of them. @bigmamakels thanks for saying yes to new experiences. Part 2 taken in Cenotes Dos Ojos by @bigmamakels

Sharing my favorite place (underwater) with my favorite people might be my new favorite thing! This best friend recently got scuba certified for our Mexico trip?! These are from playa reef but we also did some amazing Cozumel dives! Enjoy our joy from seeing pilot whales-very rare sighting. And yes we saw a bit of everything!! Love you @bigmamakels 🧜‍♀️ 🧜‍♀️~Part 1 by @bigmamakels

Happy Birthday Trophy 🏆

You woulda been 72 years young today.

Losing you was not on my bingo card this year. Thank you for teaching me golf etiquette and how to pour the perfect Guinness. For never overstepping but always stepping up. You’re the best stepdad a girl could ask for.

Wherever you are now, I hope they have Miller Lite in the can and a par 3. Here’s to getting better looking everyday 🤍 by @bigmamakels

Daddio. My best friend. My team captain. My hero.

Over and over I go from ‘I can’t believe you’re gone’ to ‘I hope you exist somewhere, somehow’, knowing full-well that your energy cannot be destroyed. I know you’re out there somewhere full of belly laughs and vodka on the rocks, telling God himself that the bass isn’t loud enough.

I love you with every atom of my being, Daddio. In this realm and beyond. 🎶💚🎶 by @bigmamakels

If you a fly gal, you’ll vibe with my newest work with the legend @missymisdemeanorelliott

This was a "pickup" shoot, which had to match the pre-shot content. Can you spot the difference? Yeah didn’t think so ✨

Throwing it back to when I had the honor to work with the funny, humble and all-around lovely @michellewilliams Never did I think I’d be breathing the same air as a member of Destiny’s Child, but the universe had other plans✨ taken in Atlanta, Georgia by @bigmamakels

Lately. by @bigmamakels

Today makes it a year. One full lap around the sun.

Gone so quickly and without warning. Y’all taught me so much about love, patience, friendship. Not to cry over spilt milk and to always have hot sauce on hand. Leaving us, though, was your biggest lesson of them all. It took me a while to digest that thought, but I understand now. The love that y’all exuded has brought so many people together that loved you both to no ends. We move differently and with more intention now. We understand how precious this time is.

I find myself looking at problems like “how would Dan deal with this” or “Kristen would be so proud of me”. I’m the luckiest gal to have the most beautiful Angels. Thank you both for your passion and love that I can only hope to embody in this lifetime. I love you. I miss you. Keep sending your little signs, and keep holding it down in the ether til we meet again 💙 taken in Planet Earth by @bigmamakels

365 days have passed since I took the most rewarding leap of my life. 365 days since I relied on the stability of a salary job to make me happy. 365 days of finally loving what I get paid to do.

Never would I have dreamed I would work side-by-side with some of my favorite artists. Creating spaces that are seen by millions of people across the world. And this is just a small glimpse of what my world looked like for the past year.

Words cannot begin to express how grateful I am for @whiskeyspice, who gave me my first opportunity in film, and @hannahcarlene and @savelda for trusting and believing in me to be a part of @majorartdepartment. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you powerful women. And I wouldn’t wanna do it with anyone else💙 by @bigmamakels
